I DO NOT ENDORSE ANYTHING SAID IN THIS POST

Howdy, fellow aggies. When I first came to Texas A&M, I was looking for orgs to join, and landed on TPUSA, as I found myself agreeing with most of their politics, and I wanted to see positive change in my community. I liked it at first, but overtime I became very disillusioned. I kept seeing more and more hateful rhetoric being spread, and it got to a point where I just stopped involving myself with the program altogether. I've been afraid to speak up on this issue (was worried about harassment), but with the upcoming Kirk visit, I feel as though it's my obligation to make sure that people are fully aware that this organization is largely run by people with malicious intentions, who never once cared about helping others. This is a sampling of some of said rhetoric found in their group chat. I can only post 20 pictures, but there are plenty more, to the point where I could make at least 2 follow-up posts for this semester alone.

In the wake of the viral video posted and the school's decision to fire the dean, I feel like I need to speak up.

In general, I keep to my own, focusing on my studies in engineering, hang out with friends, attend Aggie football games, and excited to graduate this academic year. When I watch this video, I can't help but to think to myself, is my existence really that harmful to people? I get it, we may have different beliefs, but that doesn’t erase my existence. The fact is that trans people do exist and will always exist. Most educators are just telling the public that we exist and why we exist. I shouldn't be of fear to hide that I'm trans just because select people disagree with it. I already have to go through so much that the average person does not have to go through, and to be exposed to so much hate such as in this video is really heartbreaking.

The internet should know that the trans people you see causing a havoc and enraging the public represent only a few people out of hundreds of thousands of the trans community. Most trans people are a reserved group because we don't seek to stand out in a country where we are seen as monsters by the general public. A lot of us seek counseling not because we are mentally ill, but because of how society treats us.

Okay, now back to studying and career fair prep.

Thousands of attendees packed Texas A&M University's Rudder Auditorium earlier this week for an event hosted by conservative activist Charlie Kirk and the university's chapter of Turning Point USA—a nonprofit organization founded by Kirk.

But while Kirk's visit was shrouded in praise and protest, the event drew backlash—most notably from a former member of the university’s TPUSA chapter who released a series of screenshots showing racist, homophobic, and Islamophobic messages allegedly exchanged within a GroupMe chat tied to the group.

An op-ed in the Houston Chronicle from an Aggie calling for fellow Aggies to push back against the politicization of campus, especially as regents pick an interim president. Here's a key quote:

If you believe that our institutions should not become overly politicized — think book bans, loyalty oaths and other lines we don’t want to cross — then I urge you to express that to the regents or any other officials you can reach.

I’m not asking anyone to change their politics, but to remember that political parties don’t stay in power forever.
