Today’s blacklisted American: Queer protesters force cancellation of a speech against men playing women’s sports
Olivia Krolczyk being silenced at Washington University
They’re coming for you next: Just because the majority of the country has chosen a different path opposing the queer agenda in schools and public facilities doesn’t mean the war is over. Far from it. A mob of protesters supporting the queer agenda in all things forced the cancellation of a speech at a Turning Point USA chapter event at the University of Washington earlier this week.
Olivia Krolczyk was unable to give her talk, “Protect Women from Men: The Threat of the Trans Agenda,” after protesters pulled the fire alarm and later smashed a window in the building. The university’s TPUSA chapter and the Leadership Institute hosted the event.
“The responsibility for interrupting last night’s event falls on those whose actions were disruptive and damaging, including breaking a window, graffiti in the building and wasting firefighters’ time with a false fire alarm,” university spokesperson Victor Balta told The College Fix in an email Wednesday. “Anyone who is identified to have been responsible for vandalism or property damage will be pursued through legal channels,” he said.
When Krolczyk attempted to give her talk after the fire alarm was cleared, the protesters began pounding on the classroom door as well as setting off noisemakers, one of which they planted within the classroom. At this point the police shut the event down and escorted attendees in groups of two and three from the building.
More video of this mob can be seen here.
This was not the first time Krolczyk has found herself blacklisted.
Krolczyk became a public advocate for women’s rights after she said she received a failing grade for using the term “biological woman” in an assignment at the University of Cincinnati. After gaining widespread attention on TikTok regarding the incident, she was banned from the platform. She was accused of violating its “community guidelines.”
These queer protesters like to claim that those their agenda are trying to take away their rights, but their behavior tells us the exact opposite. They aren’t interested in reasoned debate or compromise. It must be their way and if you disagree in any manner at all you will be cancelled, violently if necessary.
In other words, they are fascist goons no different than Nazi stormtroopers.

Instead of shutting down the speech they should have arrested the protesters. Your free speech ends when you create a public nusense.
U Dub. The open-minded showing their quality again. No penalties, no price to pay (because the authorities approve or lack any sense or backbone.) Why would this change?
pzatchok observed “Your free speech ends when you create a public nusense.”
Not sure the protestors were actually disturbing ‘the public’. They can argue that the ‘demonstration’/fashion show was peaceful and non-threatening; and it was. They could argue that the most disruptive behavior took place in a specific area against a specific event; not in a public space. Getting a judgement other than misdemeanor or even infraction, in a criminal court, might be a stretch. Recent experience in politically-similar Portland indicates that demonstrators generally get off with a minor fine, or walk altogether. More trouble than it’s worth, really.
‘Course, the last major demonstrations in Portland were a few years ago. After watching the economic destruction of downtown, people are a lot less cool with damaging demonstrations. An indicator of just how uncool they have become: business boarded-up for Inauguration Day, and nothing happened.
When you pull a fire alarm a set of emergency personnel are released to then respond to that call for emergency action. During that response, these teams often take much higher than ordinary risks to respond, including moving at higher speeds to get to the scene of the emergency. This can expose the general public and the emergency crews to increased risk – many injuries and deaths result from emergency crews responding to calls. In addition, the crews are now occupied and cannot respond to another true emergency.
This is much more than a disturbance or a nuisance, it is a crime. It is not protected under the Constitution. If I recall correctly some states correctly provide for additional criminal charges – including homicide – if anyone is harmed during the false emergency call.
Standing outside and yelling is protected. (Some restrictions may be legally made on the place where this can occur) Threatening and actively disrupting are not protected. Property destruction is not protected. Endangering the public through a false alarm is not and should not be protected in the Constitution.

First, it’s clear that those in authority at the University of Washington haven’t gotten the memo and don’t intend to change any of their policies just because of an election. Faced with this kind of intransigence, I’m afraid that the Trump Administration will have little choice but to adopt Lincoln’s strategy and send the equivalent of General Sherman on a “march” through these hold-out academic fiefdoms. (As a Southerner, it pains me to suggest such a thing, but sometimes only *total defeat* will suffice to get people’s attention. Cf, the Nazis and the Japanese warlords after World War II.)
Second, could someone *please* explain to these poor, terrified little snowflakes that the evil Trump administration is NOT going to take any of their fundamental rights away from them or put them into internment camps. Most conservatives that I know are fine with LGBTQ people, respect their lifestyle choices, and are sympathetic with anyone legitimately struggling to make their way in an often confusing and seemingly inhospitable world*. We — or at least most of us — get it; we care about you; and we want to be as supportive as we can**.
That said, we are tired of having a marginal, if not dysfunctional, way of thinking forced onto everyone else — and our existing civilization overturned — by the fiat of out of touch reigning elites. Enough is enough, and “we aren’t going to take it anymore.”

**Without the feeling that people have been born into the “wrong” civilization — or at least at the wrong place and time — there would be little if any great literature, from the story of Jacob to Harry Potter and Ralph Ellison’s “Invisible Man” (or Huckleberry Finn), and there would be no heroes’ journeys to recount. In Snowflake Land, of course, there are NO struggles, there is no “disinformation,” and the government makes sure that no one ever offends anyone else.

“So why is it that President D.J. Trump is or may be different? After all he is now a very fully politically empowered politician and today is at the top of his game and the government entity power and control heap.
Why is President D.J. Trump a true leader in the spirit of the original Founders of America? Because he is not constrained or obligated to ANY politician who is a creature of politics in any way that would threaten the foundation concepts of our country. Which are: Individual freedom, private property Rights, free speech and the people’s right to arm and defend themselves. Everything every Socialist and Communist and Democrat despises!”

“In other words, they are fascist goons no different than Nazi stormtroopers.”
Worse: the police shut the event down and ejected the attendees from the building. The police, rather than protecting constitutional rights, supported the heckler’s veto. Apparently, protecting rights is just too difficult, and it is easier to violate them instead.
The protesters do not feel that their own ideas (feelings) can withstand any kind of scrutiny.
They are “trespassing”
Assembling without permission.
Use their own playbook like they did to others on “January Six.” It may not be ethical, But whats good for the goose… if we’re playing by their rules, Perhaps that will get their attention. Or better yet, we got plenty of footage of laws being broken that haven’t extend past statute of limitations… Starting arresting people for actual crimes that have not been charged or convicted yet. (as they do with us for even meaningless childhood discrepancies)
Like the liberal Democrats said to Trump, “no one is above the law”
Their “get out of jail free” card has expired, it’s time to apply the law equally.
Or at least apply an “eye for an eye” solution, those who canceled conservatives without any wrong doing that took their money should suffer the consequences likewise. Criminals that to go unpunished will commit the crimes again, and justice will not be served.
They will ask us for forgiveness, while spitting in our face… Perhaps we should remind them what equity means in the real world. (treated the same) They dished it out, that let’s see if they can eat it. Or in another way, they made a big mess in their bed and now they have to lie in it, they have nowhere else to sleep.

When they pulled the fire alarm they broke the law.
Banging on the doors and threatening people is definitely disturbing the peace.
Every on campus conviction increases the chance of being expelled. Just the very real threat of that will cool their heals.
If non students are found to be in the mix they face an extra charge of trespassing. And that could bring jail time.
Even if the perpetrators never get fined or jail time I want convictions on their records. A few of those and they could face not being hired in respectable companies.

Sherman’s “march” was his way of ending the war sooner rather than later. One of the tragedies (of the many tragedies) of war is the tendency for most of the deaths to come after the war is lost but before the war is ended. At some point, a war is lost, in that one side can no longer win, but the fighting continues as the losing side desperately seeks a way to avoid losing.
In this “war” on society, there are few actual deaths involved, but it would be nice to put an end to it so that girls can once again be girls and play sports against each other rather than against men.
“Second, could someone *please* explain to these poor, terrified little snowflakes that the evil Trump administration is NOT going to take any of their fundamental rights away from them or put them into internment camps.”
Explanations, logic, and reasoning do not work with these people. They are too entrenched in their way: feeling what is right and true, rather than knowing what is right and true. This is why they feel that anyone can change their sex (gender) just by saying that they have. They feel this one so strongly that they cannot get the sense that it obliterates women’s rights. For them, it is all about feeling good. “If it feels good, do it.” If it makes them feel bad, then it is wrong and should be banned. “There ought to be a law!”
It is also why political correctness changes so often. Whenever something makes one of them feel bad, then that is defined as being politically incorrect, and political correctness is determined and defined from that. This is why they became so inconsistent with women’s rights, stripping them of the right to have their own sports so that they do not have to compete with the stronger and faster men, so that women can set their own records without having to compete with men’s records.
We shouldn’t have needed a law before to separate women’s sports from mens, and we didn’t have one. What we had was a law that required women’s sports to get equal treatment (whatever that means) as men’s sports. Did we really need that law? Even women aren’t as interested in women’s basketball as they are in men’s, so should the women’s version really be treated equally (again, whatever that means)?
Trump does not have to take any of their rights away, the demand that men compete in women’s sports does that. Women have lost the right to set their own world records or even to win at their own games and sports. It is difficult to define just what is fair, but we should be able to agree that it is unfair for men to dominate women games that were intended to be exclusive to women.
On the other hand, such women’s games would not be inclusive, nor would they encourage diversity or equity.
On the gripping hand, how included do the women feel when they fear so much for their safety that they refuse to play against the San Jose State team? Is it fair that San Jose State volleyball wins by forfeit so often that they seem better than they may be?
Just whose feelings count, anyway? Obviously not the non-LGBTQ+ people. Not the women who fear injury from playing against San Jose. And most definitely not Olivia Krolczyk, who might speak against the LGBTQ+ feelings of fairness.
