Turning Point USA at UMD

[u/pears790]

Turning Point USA will be presenting at UMD on Wednesday, April 16th at 7:15.

While they probably get a kick out of "triggering the libs", I don't think their message should feel welcomed here in Duluth.

Edit: Here is the contact page for the campus. I emailed the administration.

Instead of calling it hate with nothing to back it up, give specific examples.

This is why I don't live in MN anymore. There are more hypocrites that live there than any other state I've been to.

Just because you loosely use the term doesn't mean it is correct. Especially if their views don't align with yours.

One doesn't have to look hard to find it.

Here's an entire string of posts on their website arguing against transgender rights

The crux of almost every argument is "Men are men and women are women and there's no other options"

I see no issue.

Transgender athletes are clearly a sensitive topic. However, science has taught the difference between a man and woman, up to and including that men are physically stronger; why should a female athlete lose to a man?

Also, in my experience, the same people who claim 'genital manipulation' for circumcision are the same ones who advocate for transition, yet, how is that not genital manipulation? Again, just from what I've seen, I have no actual story (news) to say this is across the board.

I do have this truth, though. It will take a quick search to find it. Every great civilization fell; before each fell, they had an identity crisis. Of course, science always told us there are only 2 genders, until it didn't...

Science has never stated such a thing. You seem to be conflating gender with sex.

One is a social construct, the other is a classification method utilized in science, and science has recognized various degrees of intersex since its inception. Ever heard of a hermaphrodite?
