Duke

I guess I can start this thing out, eh? It's hard for me to muster outrage at this stuff, but I can at least post things.

Basically, a trans woman was gonna be moved into a Duke dorm for women, because she's a woman. Then somebody's dad got pissed and made them move her back to a men's dorm. Even though she's a woman.

Particularly delightful is the bit where they focus on her surgery status the whole time. Also the bit where- in the video clip waiting to be loaded up, which is just the text of the article read out loud and which I didn't watch past ten seconds because real people saying this shit out loud is way more upsetting than reading it- the picture that accompanies the article is actually about the grouchy dad who didn't want a trans woman, who's a woman, moving into his daughter's dorm. It's nice the way that an article about a trans woman is accompanied by a picture of a man, so that unless you pay lots of attention- which I tend not to- you get the impression that the grumpy fucker in the easy chair is the trans woman, who is clearly a man. In reality, that's not her, and she is a woman.

It isn't explicit anywhere that the article is about the dad.
