NEW YORK CITY- The Washington Free Beacon has unearthed a remarkable statistic about the fanatical lunatics arrested in connection with yet another takeover of a building at Columbia University. Out of 81 people arrested, nine–or eleven percent–use “they/them” pronouns, a rate that far exceeds the national average of 1.6 percent of Americans who identify as transgender or nonbinary, according to the Pew Research Center. It is more than double the 5 percent of people under 30 who identify as either.
The Free Beacon writes that among the loony toons with nothing better going on in their lives other than to disrupt campus and harass Jewish students, run the gamut from professional agitators to writers and poets. Some have a long history of transgender activism, which is interesting because were these folks in Gaza, they would likely earn a one-way trip down from a high-rise building, no parachute included. Yet for some reason, they have attached themselves to the pro-Hamas, pro-Palestinian mob that has infiltrated Columbia for the past 19 months or so.
The group of gender-confused individuals was part of an unruly mob that attacked Butler Library, causing damage to the facility and injuring two security guards. They were allowed to leave peacefully if they provided their identification, but all refused and were eventually arrested after a standoff with police.
Transgender violence has become common over recent years, including school shootings at the Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee, a STEM School Highlands Ranch shooting in Colorado, and a mass shooting in Aberdeen, Maryland, in 2018 that left four people dead. An unknown factoid is that Theodore Kaczynski, the Unabomber, also suffered from gender dysphoria and once time attempted a sex change.
Michael Lucas, an LGBT “adult performer,” has faced criticism within the industry for being an unapologetic supporter of Israel.
“They just go and get released in 24 hours. It’s not brave at all,” Lucas said. “They go through a lot of bullying and mistreatment, and unfortunately, a lot of them become very damaged people. So they have no common sense and end up taking the side of Hamas, even knowing that these people would kill them in the most barbaric way.”
Let’s meet some of the unhinged agitators arrested at Columbia.
A Vietnamese national, Khanh Doan, identifies as “they/she.” Doan’s senior thesis focuses on the Gaza Solidarity Encampment and “liberatory movements and transnational solidarities,” a bio that was deleted Friday read. Doan may not be long for the country as Secretary of State Marco Rubio promised last week that the State Department was “reviewing the visa status of the trespassers and vandals who took over Columbia University’s library.” That is, unless another unhinged liberal judge blocks its deportation.
Rose Bottorf uses “they/she/he pronouns and is clearly a confused individual. The Free Beacon describes Bottorf as a “serial campus agitator” and was among 100 people arrested during pro-Hamas riots on campus in April 2024.
Bottorf taught “critical race theory and activism” to children ages 14-17 as an undergraduate philosophy student. Bottorf also worked as an intern at City Mission Boston, a now-defunct nonprofit which “expose[d] systemic barriers” and “use[d] storytelling as a healing tool for social change.”
Another rabble-rouser is Leigh Oldershaw, an undergraduate at Columbia majoring in creative writing and minoring in educational studies—the type of major that is ripe for never being able to repay student loans. According to a 2022 profile in the Portland Press Herald, Oldershaw is “gender-nonconforming” and uses “they/them/their” pronouns. As a student at Windham High School in Portland, Maine, Oldershaw wrote “Bach in the Barn,” a book set in Maine in 1995 with the central character being “an example of transgender identity that Oldershaw once longed to find.”
Oldershaw published another bio in which he didn’t use preferred pronouns, read, “He is passionate about sharing the trans stories he wished he encountered when he was young and hopes to go into teaching to be a positive trans role model for students.”
Haven Capone, who uses “she/they” pronouns, is a junior at Barnard College, Columbia’s sister school. Capone writes “poetry” (a loose definition if ever there was one). Capone is also fond of posting cat videos on YouTube. We won’t bore you with Capone’s “poetry.”
Bryanna Paz (she/they pronouns) is a serial complainer, having once whined about being a person of color at college radio station KALX at UC Berkeley, claiming alleged discrimination by white colleagues. An old-time professional protester, Paz took part in protests against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
In the “blathers a lot but doesn’t say much” department we have Lucas Pasquina, a “they” studying political science and religion at Columbia College who wants to attend law school to focus on creating models for restorative justice,” who worked as a contributor to the Columbia Spectator. Get a load of this missive:
“Queer liberation is intersectional–it is liberation from oppressive structures for LGBTQ people of all races, ethnicities, genders, classes, and geographical locations,’ Pasquina wrote. “We can start by focusing on the hyper-local impact Columbia continues to have on its queer students of color, low-income queer students, and others who have been excluded from wealthy, white-centered activism and administrative reform.”
As a point of information, the annual cost to attend Columbia is approximately $92,742.
“Excluded from wealthy, white-centered activism?” It seems that if you have nearly $100,000 annually to attend Columbia and are involved in “activism,” you’re hardly being excluded.
We won’t bore you with the remainder; you get the point that these individuals protesting at Columbia are comprised by mentally deficient dimwits who not only do not understand the dynamics of the situation in the MIddle East but are clearly confused individuals who need to get their own house in order before they tell others how to run theirs.
