Event Information: A Braver Angels debate is different from any debate you’ve experienced before. It’s not political grandstanding, and it’s not high school debate club. It’s a space for curious minds and open hearts, where we think together, listen deeply, and explore the shades of grey.
By participating, you’ll:
- Hear perspectives you might not encounter elsewhere
- Practice understanding ideas that challenge your own
- Walk away with stronger relationships and new insights
Resolution:
Minors (under 18) should be allowed to undergo medical modifications to match their self-declared gender identity.
(Note: This resolution does not reflect Braver Angels’ stance. Speeches will alternate for and against.)
