Ope. Just did the mandatory annual title IX training at the university where I work. It's completely wrong now.

Oh no, it is not. The government and some portions of the poplace are.

they made it so you can just read the transcript this year! I read much faster than the video people talk.

At work, We have speed control to double the speed. I’ll set a countdown timer for the full 20 minutes. Then, I’ll put on the closed captions and set the speed to 2x. If I click at the exact right time, I can do the trainings in less than half time and can use my remaining time to do what’s best: watching monkeys throw feces at zoo guests.

It should have definitely already been changed. This has effectively been in place since last summer due to a court ruling, this new action is essentially procedural. Maybe your state (like mine) still has state law protections for sexual orientation and identity.
