This incident led to a backlash against him as well as the college authorities who had invited him. He has since made multiple comments that were criticized for being sexist, transphobic, unscientific and insensitive to people with disabilities which include claiming that women who wear jeans give birth to transgender children and that rebellious parents would have autistic children.[2][3]
