At the meeting, Jamie O’QuinnThe assistant professor of sociology at California State University, San Bernardino, accused the board of amusing the idea that transgender rights were even on the table.
As per independent person“The fact that I have to stand here and say that trans women are women too and that we have to spend time for them is ridiculous. Shame on you. Shame on you,” O’Quinn said.
She also criticized lesbian activists who she says have rallied to keep trans women out of women’s sports.
“It’s shameful that this lesbian had so many girlfriends with penises and they used lesbian politics as a front for transphobia,” she said.

A current SJSU student expressed support for trans women in women’s sports at the hearing, saying, “Our community is angry, scared, and tired. I’m here today to share my gratitude and support for the board’s decision.”
