BERKELEY, Calif.—Student Senator Isabella Chow, who recently abstained her vote on a resolution to support the interests of transgender students because of her traditional Christian beliefs, has been targeted by protests at UC Berkeley. “If trans students are under attack, what do we do?” a female student leader in the campus repeatedly shouted on the evening of Nov. 7th before the student government’s senate meeting. “Stand up, fight back!” hundreds of students responded.
On Oct. 31st, the Senate of the student government in Berkeley was scheduled to vote on the pro-LGTBQ resolution, and each student senator in the Senate meeting had three voting options: yes, no, or abstain.
