Faculty Group Demands Resignation of Nevada Board of Regents Member for Alleged ‘Anti-Trans’ Comments
“If he has not had his you-know-what cut off or anything, he’s still a man.”
Has there ever been a more fiercely protected segment of society than the trans community?

Anti-trans comments draw demands for Nevada regent’s resignation
Nevada Faculty Alliance is demanding that Regent Patrick Boylan resign, saying comments he made Friday about the transgender community during a quarterly Nevada System of Higher Education Board of Regents meeting violated the board’s anti-discrimination resolution.
In a statement, the alliance — which advocates on behalf of faculty and professional staff at all eight of the state’s public higher education institutions — said Boylan “directly attacked thousands of members of the NSHE community.”
Boylan described transgender athletes as “a man masquerading as a woman.” He boldly proclaimed that his comments were protected by the First Amendment and offered no apology when questioned during public comment by a student, instead barking: “That is the way I see it; that is the way I say it,” according to a video archive of the meeting.
He also said, “If he has not had his you-know-what cut off or anything, he’s still a man.”
The anti-discrimination resolution was adopted Sept. 9, 2022, saying “the Board recognizes its resounding responsibility to the NSHE community, the State of Nevada, and its higher education families throughout the nation to denounce any words or actions with discriminatory intent or effect, and such efforts are exemplified by the leadership and representations of its Regents.”
The board late Monday issued a statement reaffirming its commitment “to fostering an environment of inclusivity and respect for all individuals within the Nevada System of Higher Education.”
The statement further said the board would continue working to ensure campuses in the Nevada System of Higher Education were safe and welcoming spaces.
“Every individual deserves to be treated with dignity and respect when participating in an NSHE public meeting or attending an NSHE campus, regardless of their gender identity, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, religion, or any other individual characteristic,” the board wrote in a letter to campus communities signed by Chairwoman Amy Carvalho and Vice Chairman Jeffrey Downs.
