Part 6/8:
Freedman pointed out fears surrounding cultural shifts, including the introduction of gender-neutral terminology like "LatinX," which has drawn ire from many within both the left and right; but Pacman was quick to dismiss the significance of such concerns. He argued that the loudest critics of these changes often ignore their triviality in comparison to the real, tangible attacks on the rights and identities of marginalized populations.
The debate nonetheless took a critical turn when discussing trans rights; both Pacman and Freedman acknowledged there are complex questions surrounding trans participation in sports. Still, Pacman emphasized that these intricacies should not detract from the more substantial issues of rights and dignity for trans individuals.
