LGBT bullies and insensitive administrators on campus forced a once gender-confused college student to indefinitely postpone a presentation on the dangers of gender transition.
queer pressure
According to the Daily Signal, Simon Amaya Price, 20, a student at Boston's Berklee College of Music, published a book titled “Born in the Right Body: Detransitioners and Detransitioners' Perceptions” on Oct. 20. I was scheduled to give a presentation. Amaya Price, as a “dissister” (a person who once identified as transgender but did not undergo treatment to “transition” to another gender), talks about dissisters and detransitioners. “I want to raise awareness,” he explained in an Instagram post announcing the event.
“This is an issue that is very close to my heart and one that affects many people, especially LGB and neurodiverse people like me, so I encourage you to join me. ” he wrote. “I welcome and encourage open discussion and opposing views.”
Unfortunately for Amaya Price, those who disagree with him do not encourage debate or dissent. The Daily Signal reported after he put up a poster promoting the event and posted it on Instagram on October 15th.
He woke up the next morning with hundreds of negative comments, including, “Take a long walk off a cliff,” “I'm going to this event and I'm going to throw expired groceries at you,” and “Brother, you should be scared.” I saw a comment. What were you thinking on Sunday?'', “Please leave the school'', and “I'm so disgusted and disappointed''.
Some commenters claimed that Amaya Price is making up the fact that children undergo transgender surgery.
Even an autistic, bisexual, and transgender past could not save Amaya Price from her leftist enforcers. Some of his enforcers excluded him from the autistic and “queer” communities because of his desire to share his experiences with others.
father knows best
Amaya Price's story is an optimistic one that should give hope to other young people who are questioning their gender.
The Daily Signal wrote that during her third year of middle school, she “experienced social ostracism and a mental health crisis” that convinced her that she was actually a girl.
His therapist affirmed his belief and referred him to Boston Children's Hospital to begin his “transition” with hormones and surgery. His pediatrician, who was also on the Trans Express, administered the usual horror treatments to him and his father, telling him they had to choose between “a dead son or a living daughter.” If the transfer is refused, he will commit suicide.
Fortunately, Amaya Price's father had the fortitude to stand up to this nonsense and refused to allow such horrific treatment of his son.
“I hated him for that,” Amaya Price told the Daily Signal. “But looking back now, he did the best thing he could.”
Like most young people with gender dysphoria, Amaya Price eventually outgrew it. But his experience has left him wanting to warn others about “the dangers of minors consenting to life-altering sex-reassignment surgery,” the Daily Signal wrote.
savage attack
Therefore, Amaya Price's lived experience, which was highly valued when it coincided with the ideology of LGBT people, became a burden for him.
On October 17, he and his father met with Berklee Vice President Ron Savage and the department chair. According to the Daily Signal, after seeing numerous responses to Amaya Price's Instagram post, “Savage recommended that Amaya Price postpone the event for safety and logistical reasons.”
Amaya Price was convinced by this seemingly sensible response. He quickly announced on Instagram that his event had been postponed, resulting in “hundreds more negative comments,” the Daily Signal detailed.
On Monday, Savage said the event was “postponed indefinitely.”
“This event was supposed to be the culmination project for my class, Songwriting and Social Change,” said Amaya Price. “Although this event was approved by my professor, the fact that Mr. Savage decided not to allow me to participate in the event is a violation of my academic freedom and will not allow me to graduate on December 12th. This is a big barrier.”
“Too much diversity” for DEI
Berkeley’s DEI machine immediately went into damage control mode.
On Monday, the day after Amaya Price's presentation was originally scheduled and the day Savage put the kibosh on it, the university's associate director of inclusive education was in the very room where Amaya Price's event would be held. , held a meeting for LGBTQ students. “I hope this will be an opportunity for students who were dissatisfied with their events to vent their frustrations,” Amaya Price told the Daily Signal.
Meanwhile, the school's Office of Diversity and Inclusion, which originally sponsored Amaya Price's event, has announced that not only has the event been postponed, but even if it does take place, the office will no longer sponsor it. issued a statement.
“It's very disappointing because they made it very clear that I was too diverse for them,” Amaya Price said.
Amaya Price hopes the university will be in good shape so she can graduate and continue pursuing her dreams, which include having a wife and children. And there is no need to worry that his children will be pressured to follow the same dangerous path he was about to tread.
“I don't want to worry about, 'Oh, my child is going to go to the doctor, and the doctor is going to put him on hormones and have him undergo a life-changing medical procedure.' ” he says. “That's why I'm doing this. I'm doing this to help people.”
