Houston Porter, 28, finds himself at risk of expulsion from Pace University law school after being accused of misgendering and 'aggressively' pointing at a transgender student during a heated panel discussion. He asserts the claims stem from a chaotic situation where misunderstandings likely occurred.
When the floor was opened for questions during the panel, 'there were a bunch of people in my face,' Porter recalled, describing the chaos that ensued when students began yelling at him. He felt threatened, thinking he might be overwhelmed in the confrontation.
Porter claims that the situation was a 'misunderstanding' that led to a mischaracterization of his actions, stating, 'There was so much noise, multiple people talking at once.' He emphasizes that he denies all discrimination claims and that this incident could have significant repercussions on his life.
He suggests that the panel title 'Saving Women's Sports' reflected a contentious atmosphere, given the opposing views about gender identity in competition, and that accusations against him are a product of this high-stakes debate surrounding transgender participation in sports.
