Mr. W.: My really biggest question was, is this criticism of this? Because it seemed weird that the New Yorker was profiling it. I guess the quote-unquote diversity of the members here by diversity, which like ranges from like somebody's kid lost in a swim meet to like a trans athlete. But how does she find these people? Kim Jones, whose daughter is a Yale swimmer who lost to the trans gender athlete Leah Thomas in competition last year. And there's a guy who might be a rapist. To be fair, the guy that they're talking about who may or may not be a sexual criminal, there's apparently no solid evidence either way.
