They need to convene a panel of two “experts” from each side. To keep the right happy (as if that were possible), the media can throw up their hands and say, “We don’t know, you decide.”
Thanks Stantis for pointing out the post-modernists who literally seek to reject or redefine actual reality. They reject indisputable truths by trumptetting nonsensical phrases like “my reality” and " my truth". This is an attempt to destroy society by making people question fundamental realities. It is a classical way for statists to take over and oppress people.
When statists can use mobs and power to define “truth” on a whim then they can do anything. Like euthanise people, lock up those who oppose the power structure, declare war, and destroy political opponents with false charges based in thier new “reality”.
Here is a reality check. THERE IS ONLY ONE REALITY. ONE TRUTH!
Truth: Those with XX chromosomes are bilogically female and men have XY. You can’t change your sex by identifying as another gender or inventing something. Actual biologic gender dysmorphism is exceedingly rare
Corollaries: Those who know actual truth are being oppressed when they are punished for saying obvious truths like “that man is wearing a dress” in the ladies room where my kid is! Those who allow there kids to “pick” thier sex and get surgery and hormones are abusing their kids.
Truth: when conservatives speak on campus they are shouted down by mobs who escape arrest, prosecution and punishment. The mobs then vandalize and run amok destroying much in thier path…especially freedom.
Corrollary: when liberals speak out on campus and push lies like the “benefits of socialism” they are protected by the chill placed on opponents who dare not speak up for fear of destruction by the mob.
It’s fine for philosophers to debate truth and reality. It’s incumbent on us all to seek the truth of any matter in front of us. To reduce truth and reality to personal possessions is at best the worst sort of infantilism and at worst is assuming godship to yourself. NEVER ends well.

They’ve been arguing for so long, new cactus grew in the foreground.
