On Tuesday, alt-right troll Milo Yiannopoulos made yet another stop on his tour of colleges and universities across the country. He spoke at the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, where he was invited by a conservative student group, and he used his platform to mock a transgender student, displaying her name and photo prominently onscreen.
In critiquing leftist criticism of the phrase man up, Yiannopoulos said around the 49:52 mark, Ill tell you one UW-Milwaukee student that does not need to man up. He then showed the students photo. Have any of you come into contact with this person? he asked. This quote unquote nonbinary trans woman forced his way into the womens locker rooms this year. He went on:
I see you dont even read your own student media. He got into the womens room the way liberals always operate, using the government and the courts to weasel their way where they dont belong. In this case he made a Title IX complaint. Title IX is a set of rules to protect women on campus effectively. Its couched in the language of equality, but its really about women, which under normal circumstances would be fine, except for how its implemented. Now it is used to put men in to womens bathrooms. I have known some passing trannies in my life. Trannies youre not allowed to say that. Ive
I known some passing trannies, which is to say transgender people who pass as the gender they would like to be considered.

Remember when Mike Huckabee said he wished he was trans so he could use the ladies' room?

If you were to look up the word "tool" in the dictionary you'd see a picture of Milo Yiannopolous.

I'm a man and it makes no sense.

Yeah I don't get it either - it's always old white religious men who complain. Maybe because they're not allowed in?

I think, they think, that they are protecting women.
But...I never heard a woman complain about it.
