Students at all state colleges and universities in the Nutmeg State will now be allowed to use the bathrooms and changing rooms that correspond with their chosen gender identity, and not their biological sex, the Connecticut Board of Regents announced this week.

The sentence sounded like something out of a dystopian novel. The serious-looking older man speaks with self-proclaimed authority in his introductory remarks:
"We are enlightened and forward thinking, but not everyone sees it this way."
