USU Update?I followed up and spoke with Utah State University’s spokesperson Amanda DeRito today @MandyDRito to address her lack of transparency and clear omission of facts in the statements given to ABC4News Ut, 2News Ut, and Fox13 Ut, on the “Trans Dorm Mom” case at USU.

Yesterday DeRito claimed to these outlets: "Merrill Hall is a co-ed residence hall where students are assigned apartments according to the gender they report in their housing application. USU does not have all-female or all-male residence halls." (USU Corrects Misinformation-Fox13 Utah)

While it's true Merrill Hall Dorm Building itself does accommodate both men and women, DeRito's statement omitted and grossly misrepresented critical details to this story: because within the Merrill Hall dorm, there are dorm “pods” apartments (6 person) designed to be gender-specific. Further, "Marcie," the man pretending to be a woman, could’ve possibly had the option to reside in another "Gender Inclusive Housing" building, but instead chose to live in a 6 person pod designated for specifically for women.

These apartment “pods” (see below) create a very intimate living environment where female residents share not only a small kitchen but also a small (1) toilet and (1) shower.

This setup raises significant privacy and safety concerns for the female residents who must not only live with a man pretending to be a woman, but navigate through this small shared living space to reach their private rooms, potentially exposing themselves after showering and not being able to get fully dressed in the tiny bathroom.

This situation has drawn the attention of Utah House Speaker Mike Schultz, mschultz_12 who thankfully commented, “We will absolutely not tolerate this insanity any longer. In this session, we're going to make it unequivocally clear: female spaces are for biological females only. No woman should ever feel forced to relocate just to feel safe and comfortable on our college campuses.”

During my conversation with Amanda DeRito, she said that “Marcie” as the Resident Assistant does in fact have the ability to open any of the other female room doors if “Marcie” needed to enter in certain situations. DeRito also surprising referenced my personal life, mentioning my children at one point on the call wanting to know why I specifically cared. I asked how she knew I had children, and paraphrasing she responded, "I looked you (it) up." This raises questions about the appropriateness of such actions within her professional role as spokeswoman for Utah State University. Further, did Amanda DeRito “look up” the family of others who reported this story (like Fox13) and ask them about their children when they interviewed DeRito?

Towards the end of our conversation, DeRito wanted to emphasize two points with her clear bias on this case: 1) "Marcie" is an individual person with feelings whom “she” deserves protection, and 2) my reporting was "misinformation." I countered several times during the conversation by highlighting that real female students were and are the ones feeling uncomfortable due to this situation USU created, and are also individuals with feelings who deserve protection, which the school should have provided.

I also pointed out that DeRito's statements to the news channels were in fact misleading, particularly the omission of the intimate living arrangements within these gender-specific apartment dorm “pods”, within the Merrill Hall dorm building.

Again, our hope is that President of Utah State University Elizabeth R. Cantwell USUPres will quickly get her act together and learn how to protect real women in the school she is supposed to be leading.

As of now, fox13 & abc4utah have not updated their coverage to reflect the true nature of the intimate living conditions where these real women are still living with a man in Utah college campus.

Here's myinbox this morning on X after the "trans" post went viral. Remember this is the party of tolerance. #lovewins

Hey everyone, I want to address some negative feedback on my last post about the sudden death of a 54-year-old mission president from Utah.

I didn't specify his cause of death because it's unknown. We might never know. But should we normalize these very frequent incidents by simply not discussing them? Is that what a good society does? Or does not talking about these incidents what a “nice” society does?

A complaint read: "Eric Moutsos, I usually agree with you, but using this good man's death to provoke a reaction about vaccines is shameful. You're better than this. Let his death be what it was without politicizing it for your gain."

Super uncomfortable to get called out like this by men in the community, right? I agree. A lot of accusations there. However, is it more harmful to be afraid engage in these difficult conversations in Utah's culture, ESPECIALLY within our churches, or to ignore the fact that people, even in our small state, are still dying in mass numbers like this? This includes very young individuals like missionaries, mission presidents, athletes, and very young parents who small children will never know them. Even Google and state run media have had to adjust and hide how they handle stories labeled "died suddenly" or "died unexpectedly" due to their overwhelming number.

On the Utah Revival page alone I've shared hundreds of these incidents because globally, even young, healthy professional athletes are dying daily from heart attacks, blood clots, and aggressive cancers. Why?

Shouldn't a society that claims to value life, health, love, and the elderly be concerned about these sudden deaths now? During Covid, we sure as hell cared. We broadcasted every young supposed Covid death far and wide, blaming who? Oh that’s right, the unvaccinated without accusations to the media and government officials for “politicizing” simple covid deaths for gain. We were even running stories when our own Lt Governor of Utah caught a cold, twice . And who was “Politicizing”?

Yes, discussing the sudden death of young mission presidents and missionaries is super uncomfortable. But in my opinion what’s more uncomfortable is the real families who are left without loved ones because we're incredibly reluctant and scared as a state to confront why this is happening on such a massive scale over the last three years.

Most of us on the page know. Most government officials and even media now know, but for some reason won’t seem to run the real story behind it. My question is, why?

To the person with the original negative critique … You are absolutely correct. I am bringing this to light with hopes that we can finally somehow awaken to the awful situation we seem to find ourselves in, just based on the mass number of “died suddenly” stories here in Utah alone… See Ether 8:18 to the end of the chapter. Warning, those scriptures are super uncomfortable as well. Imagine how uncomfortable Moroni was when God commanded his to warn you and I about these secret combinations before Jesus comes again.

Please post below if you have a story of someone you personally know who’s either died suddenly or have a chronic illness they are now dealing with in the last three years, and why you think that is.
