'I think that higher-ed leaders need to hold strong right now and not cave in to people that want to crush free inquiry.'

“I think that higher-ed leaders need to hold strong right now and not cave in to people that want to crush free inquiry.”

“To think that those women either here or anywhere else could be subjected to coming out for the first day on the team and being told you don’t have a spot on this team … two or three trans athletes are taking your spot because they’re bigger, stronger, faster, better lung capacity than you. And so you’re out–Just does not seem right to me,” he said.

“So, we’ve had it on both sides,” Docking said. “I do think that free inquiry has been pushed to the side in precisely those institutions, mainly higher education, that should be embracing it.” In the interview with Michigan Advance, Docking added that Adrian was “not endorsing” Gaines’ point of view on the trans-athlete issue when inviting her to speak.
