Brickbat: Keep It Down In the Library

An official at the Mary L. Stephens Davis Library in Davis, California, shut down a presentation by Moms for Liberty after claiming that guest speaker and former collegiate soccer player Sophia Lorey misgendered trans athletes. In her presentation, Lorey said that it was unfair for men to compete against women, which led several people in the audience to object. Video appears to show the official telling Lorey that "We don't want any transgender females being called male in sporting events with females," adding that "if that happens, it's not following our code of conduct and we will ask the person who says it to leave immediately." Lorey attempted to adjust by referring to "biological girls" and "biological men," and an attorney spoke up to say Lorey's First Amendment rights were being violated. But the library official insisted she had to leave.

Not related to the brickbat, but I actually saw the word "Pounced" and felt the need to share:

conservative critics pounced on Fauci after he was called out on a TV show.

I'm making $90 an hour working from home. I never imagined that it was honest to goodness yet my closest companion is earning 16,000 US dollars a month by working on the connection, that was truly astounding for me, she prescribed for me to attempt it simply. Everybody must try this job now by just using this website... http://www.Payathome7.com

An "official" kicked this person out of the library, eh? Does the "official" have a name and a title? Is the "official" in any way connected to the library? And why exactly were any members of the audience objecting to the language used by the speaker? Were they not aware of who the speaker was and what they were speaking about? They were trapped there and couldn't walk out? Or were they plants brought there by the "official" specifically in order to object to the speech?

[Carey Allison]

So a library "official" orders you to leave? Suppose you refuse? Suppose they call the police? Suppose someone in the audience has a phone with a camera in it? Suppose the video gets provided to people who have the ability to publicize it?

Suppose you can make a few thousand from the lawsuit you file if you are ejected? Lawfare ought not go just one way, should it?

[Vernon Depner]

Or, suppose the librarian gets duct taped to a chair and the program continues?

[jimc5499]

Most libraries are run by City, Township, County or State Governments. If a "Library Official" spouts Liberal rhetoric what are the odds that the Government, who also controls the Police won't order the arrest of the "trespasser"?

[CountmontyC]

Then comes the lawsuit for infringement of the First Amendment.

'Boys have a penis, girls have a vagina', true words from a child.

[Me, Myself and I]

So if you have your penis removed, that makes you gender-neutral.

[Gozer the Gozarian]

Loving this woke civil war. Now we get to spotlight all of their stupid shit.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Such a bizarre but, I suppose, inevitable militant capture of the left this is. I can't imagine what absurdity they crawl onto next.

[Fist of Etiquette]

...but as she continued, it quickly became clear that her rhetoric was not going to fly.

Quite the article we've linked in this Brickbat. The "Equity Lab" intern writing it even cites the SPLC.

[Mike Laursen]

Never mind that the Reason writer is supporting Lorey’s right of free speech. Gotta make it sound like Reason is against free speech by quoting from the linked article, because the top priority here is always bashing Reason.

[Don't look at me!]

Cite?

[Fist of Etiquette]

'twasn't a criticism of this publication but that one.

[Longtobefree]

"Lorey attempted to adjust by referring to "biological girls" and "biological men," and an attorney spoke up to say Lorey's First Amendment rights were being violated."

Never apologize, Mister; it's a sign of weakness.
Men are men, women are women. Period.
If you are speaking the truth to power, speak the truth.
No more admit the delusions of the trans fanatics than you admit the delusions of the flat earthers.

[Don't look at me!]

Why are we suddenly anti-women?

[Social Justice is neither]

They're not, they've upgraded to delusional men.

[Vernon Depner]

Men are better at being women than women are, apparently.

[TJJ2000]

I'm sure glad I don't have to put up with leftarded-tyranny everywhere. F-CA.

[AT]

Listen, I refuse to board this train to crazytown where we pretend boys are girls and girls are boys.

That being said, if the goal is to destroy women's professional sports, then don't let me get in your way.

[Bill Falcon]

"Trans" doesn't exist. Anyone who honestly believes they are the other gender has a mental illness. One can pretend for whatever reason they are the other sex (transvesites) but they are not the other sex. Period..end of story. Librarians are like "teachers" their education is just marxist claptrap.

[Nazi-Chipping Warlock]

Given that "female" is a biological determination, a "transgender female" is a transman. Who would not be participating on the "women's" sporting team.
