Would have enjoyed more (and gained more) if the panel would have let the guest speak more. Interruptions cut short her explanations.

If gendering is harming people, it will be challenged. People are more important than the labels.

[domingomelchor]

The Catholic teaching is not a view or a world view. It is the truth and the standard. A view only means a version of something that is defined differently by others or as she puts it “a paradigm.”

Butler, a woman, wishes to eliminate her own sec when, in fact, all babies are female first?!?

[ashleynovels]

Dr Martin was so cringey. How can you not know who Judith Butler is? And calling a Supreme Court justice a silly woman is exactly why women don’t listen to people like him. Dr. Favale did a great job trying to explain basic feminist concepts to the men on the panel.
