It was interesting to hear individuals' concluding comments. One of the students used the word, "villainizing" regarding viewpoints opposing hers. She kept repeating "transwomen are women" on the sports question, and wouldn't consider the dilemmas of female athletes facing males in women's competitions. Women are going to be physically hurt from over-training when they have to compete against male bodied competitors. Women are going to get hurt in contact sports where they face a male, even if they are essentially the same size. This is physical, biological fact. I left the left, consider myself a centrist and ask for the facts in all policy decisions. This is rational and mature. The future appears frightening, based on the propaganda so many have enculturated.

Brava to Clare, the student who started Doubters' Club on Capital campus.
