Hi Folks,

The debate on trans women in women's sports is unfolding among many people whether any of us likes it or not. Canceling and demonizing people will not change this fact. To those of you who want to demonize BMDC, if you want to continue bullying us, then maybe you should be bullying Cornel West as well, if you have any consistency at all, which I doubt. Your lust for summary expulsions will not advance the debate in any way, shape, or form. 

Cornel West has taken a position. It is described in the Karen Hunter Show on YouTube. His response is to have 3 categories in sports. He is asked the question at about 18:45 in the video and his response is at about 19:15 in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1HCAmx3xrc  Cornel West is running for President and is likely to be the Green Party candidate. He uses the phrase "biological constitution of human bodies" to justify his position. I do not endorse his position, but that doesn't matter to anyone out to shut down  BMDC. Cancel culture is not about reason and logic. Cornel West has a right to have his opinion which is very similar to Jane's position on women's sports. Demonizing people will not resolve this issue, but history will. 

John
