MIT allows event criticizing gender transitioning to proceed despite large protestA recent event at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology focused on concerns about gender transitioning and a fundraiser at a nearby restaurant after the panel drew a large protest and calls for a boycott.The “Born in the Right Body: Law and Learning Forum” at MIT on May 18 was a collaboration between LGB Courage Coalition and DIAG, or Democrats for an Informed Approach to Gender, a nonprofit dedicated to protecting “core liberal values.”DIAG states online the Democratic Party should continue representing liberal values, but base its conclusions in “biological reality.” LGB Courage Coalition is composed of same-sex attracted individuals from across belief systems “concerned about the current state of gender medicine.”Prior to the event, the ACLU and a group called 603 Equity lobbied MIT, Eventbrite, and a Cambridge restaurant hosting a fundraiser for the groups after the panel, to cancel the event. The cancellation effort stemmed from the ACLU’s objection to the groups’ views on “pediatric gender medicine.” Neither the ACLU nor 603 Equity responded to The College Fix’s requests for comment.While the panel event at MIT and the subsequent fundraiser at the Glass House restaurant still took place, the latter drew a large protest of more than a hundred people.Demonstrators gathered across the street from the event’s dinner and screamed “shut it down,” “f*** your dinner, f*** your hate” and “our lives are not for debate,” as recorded by attendees. Signs hoisted at the protest included “All Transphobes are Fascists” and “Pluck Your Eyes Out.”An organizer of the protests explained it was in response to the event’s defense of “patriarchal cis-heteronormative society,” in a video taken by “Sidewalk Steve,” an opponent of “the medicalization of gender-confused children.”
