A Nevada college oversight leader is facing calls to resign after referring to trans athletes as 'men masquerading as women.'
Patrick Boylan has been slammed for making the comments during a meeting of the Nevada System of Higher Education's Board of Regents on Friday.
He said he had 'one simple question' for the athletic directors who were presenting to the board before asking, 'Do we have any men masquerading as women playing in any of our teams and hurting any of the women?'
The question was shut down by board attorney Michael Wixom, who advised it was against federal privacy laws to collate and disclose that information. He cautioned the directors not to respond and said any question would need to be brought on a separate agenda.
Boylan's remarks were also blasted by The Nevada Faculty Alliance which said it was, 'deeply angered by repeated anti-transgender comments.'
The alliance said it was 'especially appalled' by the regent's 'aggressive response' to a student leader who upbraided his remarks in the public comment portion of the meeting.
In the public comment section Kevin Osorio-Hernández, president of the Nevada State Student Alliance, told Boylan he was disappointed by the rhetoric and that he hopes he can 'expand and change your paradigm'.
Boylan told the student he had freedom of speech and continued to make inflammatory remarks.
'If he has not had his "you know what" cut off or anything, he's still a man,' Boylan said.
But Boylan has stood by his position and confirmed to the Las Vegas Review that he has no plans to step down.
He asserted that 'safety and freedom of speech' are more important than the feelings of the faculty alliance headed by Jim New, which he said had 'totally misconstrued' his comments.

This guy wins the prize for telling the truth.
It is a legitimate question. That is why they do not want to answer it.
They are getting rid of him for being EXACTLY correct?
Of course they are.
That was absolutely the right question for Patrick Boylan to ask. Now...the proper answer to those demanding he resign...”Kiss my a**.”
It’s time to call out the sexual weirdo community on this stuff..
These ARE the same people who call half the American people ‘cult members and terrorists’ and Hitler and then they cry and gnash their teeth if we dare to imply they’re ‘weirdos’. If they can dish it out they need to learn to take it. We don’t see them as so special and entitled that they can say anthing and we have to take it. Nope, that’s delusional too
It’s mentally healthy for us to point out men don’t ‘become women’ by having plastic surgery - anymore than they become dogs by wearing fur. Enough is enough.
This trans crap was amusing for a while but not when these delusional men are beating up female athletes. Bridge too far... Like a heavy weight boxer ‘self identifying’ as a light weight. Not acceptable.
The question was completely honest & legitimate. If they are going to parade “trans people” in athletic events, then they need their own class. Convince me if I’m wrong.
