MacLean's On The Great Lindsay Shepherd

Nothing much new here.
Just linking.
MacLean's is surprisingly even-handed.
But if you actually pay attention to what the other side says...well:

   Toby Finlay uses “they/them” pronouns. Grammatically speaking, that means students coming to the Rainbow Centre will chat with them. (Not “him” or “her.”) Finlay is trans and non-binary, a term used when one’s gender identity is neither male nor female. So is Milas Hewson, a fellow member of the Rainbow Centre, who also uses they/them pronouns.
   It’s been a hard month for both at the Rainbow Centre, a service within the school’s diversity and equity office that supports education and advocacy for queer and trans students. “Students have come to us feeling complicated, upset and invalidated,” Hewson says. “With these young students struggling to figure out how they’re experiencing gender, to be told in a classroom that that’s not valid has a very deep impact because it’s an issue that strikes close to home for these people.”
And even if Shepherd tried to remain neutral in the classroom, Finlay challenges the idea of neutrality in this case, saying it’s wrong “that these are issues of debate and trans students’ identities or experiences are up for conversation—in the sense that their reality is up for conversation.”
   Hewson talks about being confronted in school hallways “by people I barely know asking me to justify myself and my positions.” By speaking with media, Finlay and Hewson have become the public faces for the Laurier trans community. “That also in a huge way makes me feel fairly unsafe on campus

Z0MG! Being asked to justify your positions!!!!!111??? By people you barely even know??? The horror!!!!111
"That also"...."in a huge way"...."makes me feel"..."fairly"..."unsafe"..."on campus"....
(a) Huge, eh?
(b) You feel that way, do you?
(c) Fairly!
(d) Unsafe????
(e) On campus.
Counterpoint: no you don't. You're lying. Unless you're stupid.
   But: you're lying.
   And probably: you're stupid.
"...because I don’t know who might recognize me and approach me out of nowhere and have something violent to say..."

Something "violent to say"? Violent? To say?

"... or do,” Right. So...has anyone?

 Hewson says. “I feel generally uncomfortable on campus.”

Z0MG...you feel...uncomfortable...on campus?????

"Kira Williams experiences something transphobic every day."  No he doesn't. He's lying. 

"Some days that’s harassment. Other days it’s sexual assault." No it isn't. "Kira" wishes. "Kira" is lying. He's making it up. This is wish-fulfillment. This is not real life.

“The reality is Dr. Peterson’s speech is targeted at trans people,” says the Laurier PhD student. “And the reality is that when people like Peterson speak, it has consequences in the real world—consequences I have to live through every day.”

The reality: someone is pointing out that you're wrong. 

And that's all.
