Matt Walsh is a notorious anti-trans inflammatory speaker. He claims to question the meaning behind gender, but when looking at his direct quotes, including lines like,

"I believe that gender ideology is one of the greatest evils in human history," 

and 

"The anti-trans hate crime "epidemic" is a complete fiction," 

as well as his twitter bio, which reads, 

"Theocratic fascist, bestselling children’s author, Transphobe Of The Year (2022)"

it is clear that Walsh is nothing other than a man prone to violence, and a danger to the University of Iowa's community at large. 

By continuing to allow Matt Walsh to have a platform to speak, we endanger the LGBTQIA+ students that call this campus home. 

By allowing Walsh to have a place to spread incendiary and violent speech with no repercussion, we provoke fear amongst the students that were promised protection here. 

Now is the time to act. Oppose Matt Walsh's Lecture on April 19th, 2023.
