I agree.

As far as freedom of speech goes, we have to remember that not everybody out there gets to give a lecture on a prestigious platform. This isn't about a right but about privilege. If it were more about a right, then it'd be a thing everybody could do. Expressing an opinion is one of those; expressing an opinion in a position of declared authority... is not.

Instead of questioning why most youths of today comfortably except TG's for being male or female, we should be celebrating it. This lecture feels uncomfortably like a mission and its not one that sits well with me.
