Diversity and Exclusion Confronting the Campus Free Speech Crisis

In 2017, graduate student Lindsay Shepherd found herself in a disciplinary meeting after showing a five-minute clip about pronouns in her class, accused of creating a 'toxic climate' and 'spreading transphobia.' Unbeknownst to her accusers, she secretly recorded the meeting, releasing the audio to the media and igniting a national controversy. This tell-all memoir recounts Shepherd's year navigating university censorship, clashing with academic activists, and becoming the unexpected center of a public debate on free speech.
