A firebrand speaker who was permanently banned from Twitter for "inciting or engaging in the targeted abuse or harassment of others" blasted a transgender student by name at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, prompting the school's chancellor to immediately condemn the speech in a campus-wide email.
Breitbart writer Milo Yiannopoulos brought his "Dangerous Faggot Tour" to the Student Union at UWM on Tuesday night at the invitation of a new student group called Turning Point USA.
During his speech to a crowd the university estimated at 325 to 350 people, plus others watching via live stream on the Breitbart website, Yiannopoulos singled out a transgender student who had protested against a new UWM policy created for its recreation center's locker rooms.
The policy was adopted after the student who is in the process of physical transition from male to female used the sauna in the women's locker room last January. The new policy requires that "non-conforming genitalia be covered at all times," and the university added private showers and changing rooms with curtains to make that easier.
Yiannopoulos named and showed a picture of the student to his audience, and accused the student of being a man trying to find his way into women's bathrooms.

good article. Read the entire article to get the full story.
I am so sad that over 300 students-or whoever showed up for this hate event in Wisconsin.
Trump does the same-calls out individuals in his tweets. It is a dangerous time for the USA.

Shouldn't it all be covered?

I also enjoy the irony of this Breitbart writer feeling the need to protect women from seeing penises. Like dude, just because they scream when you whip yours out has more to do with you than the penis.

Could I have some Brits on DU confirm this?
