This incident again illustrates the importance of accurate labeling, which the media refuses to do. "A transgender student" is not sufficient.

"Help! There's a naked woman leering at us in our locker room!" said no man ever.

I commented to that effect on the KOMO video on YT.

Yes, you've been a stickler on this issue from the beginning. I learned it from you.

Happy to say I’ll be talking with Elizabeth this afternoon for my podcast, UnMuted! I was at the Y with her last weekend and she’s as deserving of the FFS honor as anyone. I’ll let you know when the episode drops. 💪🏻

So happy to see this happening in my hometown of Berkeley, probably the most liberal place in the country. The tide is turning. Yay! She’s a hero.

Yes but it is still thoroughly depressing that this is happening in the first place. When is this insanity going to end? And people wonder why there is an exodus from blue states. Happy to see this woman is standing up but the real test will be if California starts electing Republicans in state and local elections. I won’t vote for a democrat again unless they firmly and unequivocally disavow the dangerous, misogynistic and homophobic policy of “affirming gender”.

They’ll never vote for a Republican. The Democrats will have to change.
