Excerpt: The Trump administration has used its power to marginalize transgender people to the point of rejecting the fact of their existence. If the Senate passes the language of H.R.28, legal protections against discrimination for trans students across the country could be in jeopardy, and the situation for trans students — including those on our own campus — could become far more dire than it already is.
That is why Princeton must take action to bolster resources and current protections for transgender students outside of Title IX as well as release a statement clearly condemning the legislation.
It makes sense that the same publication that has run non-stop editorial interference in support of the genocide in Gaza, would be promoting the participation of biological males in women’s sports and mourning its loss. Princeton used to have a variety of opinion. I don’t remember people with such anti-social viewpoints being evaluated so consistently. Actually, I do. It started with Princeton cheerleading the disastrous and immoral invasion of Iraq.

Excerpt: University President Christopher Eisgruber ’83 spoke about defending free speech on college campuses during a book talk at the new Princeton University Art Museum’s Grand Hall on Wednesday. The event was open to University students, faculty, and staff, but had limited spots. Eisgruber spoke for over half an hour before taking questions from the audience.
Eisgruber noted the tense climate for higher education under the second Trump administration. “American research universities are the best in the world, but today, they face unprecedented and withering attacks from our country’s own government,” he said. “Much of this attack is both unlawful and broadly unpopular.”

What is an Ivy League university? The simplicity of the question is deceiving. Everyone knows what Harvard is. Except increasingly, no one does – not the students who attend, and certainly not the administrators who shape the institution, thereby answering that question every day.

Excerpt: On Friday, Nov. 7, 2025, Sunrise Princeton, alongside the Princeton Progressive Coalition, organized a rally of more than 100 demonstrators. We called on the University to act as a leader by defending life-or-death climate research, divesting from weapons manufacturers to end the genocide in Palestine, protecting immigrants and international students, and safeguarding academic freedom in a time when rising authoritarianism threatens progress across the world.
As a lead organizer for this rally, I learned an important lesson: Princeton students care a lot about progressive change, and are willing to publicly display their support because they’re optimistic that their actions can make a difference on a policy level. They just feel like they’re too damn busy.

I disagree with the underlying premise of this article, that the actions of the Trump administration have marginalized trans people to the extent of rejecting the fact of their existence and am alarmed and offended at the gaslighting in it warning of dystopian consequences of passing HR.28. The new administration aims to curb the excesses in this area that have occurred under the previous administration in particular, which aimed to propel the trans community into a privileged class.
I heard similar dystopian prognostications back in Trump’s previous administration which never came to pass. Those prognosticators never acknowledged that and continue to raise false alarms. Maybe time to engage in considered dialogue to persuade rather than fear monger.
