    Probably a required filler course to "round out" her education, that seemed easy enough to her.

    I question if a class like this should exist, and wonder if this school recieves any public funding or recognition. I hope not.

    the teacher just asked her to change that and resubmit though, so wonder if she was looking for something to be upset about, this was an online course, so not sure if she is going for a degree or not

    That's enough to be upset about if the change was political manipulations like that. Imagine if a different teacher told her to change "indigenous people" to "savage". She would be rightly upset and it would be worthy of reprimand on the teacher.

    not the same, she was not saying to change anything to something that attacked a group such as your example

    your example is like asking someone to not use the word preachers and instead use child molesters.....

    https://www.outkick.com/college-stu...es-professor-for-using-term-biological-women/

    "Please reassess your topic and edit it to focus on women’s rights (not just "females") and I’ll regrade."

    that said, I did not know females did not include trans women as the teacher seems to think.... I am still learning the terms guess

    """Olivia, this is a solid proposal," the feedback read. "However, the terms "biological women" are exclusionary and are not allowed in this course as they further reinforce heteronormativity. Please reassess your topic and edit it to focus on women’s rights (not just "females") and I’ll regrade."""

    she did say her paper was a solid proposal, just not the assignment

    That's a matter of opinion. Some will say that it is an attack on women as a group to include people born with penises in the group. The teacher shouldn't be pushing political agenda.

    ARE you claiming this is the ONLY teacher like this in America? It has to be proved to you?

    Your mistake here is that it isn't one occurrence. Woke things like this are happening in schools every day. Not all schools but way more than one. Wokeism is insidious.

    It happened to me during my bachelor's degree. I forgot to take a geology course, totally unrelated to my field, and so I spent a fifth year working not one, but two practically full-time jobs and taking one single course. It ended up that the fates were on my side, because that extra year opened up new doors to a masters program somewhere else, which goes to prove that the ways of Ad-shem are truly mysterious.

    Anatomically very possible, with some surgical adjustments. The question is whether or not it is worth it, the answer to which I will leave to each and every person. It is not interesting to me.

    Interesting thread. I would very much like to see the prof's syllabus for this particular project to see what ground rules were in effect for said project.

    highjacking normative terms that define the two sex/genders needed to procreate to placate the mentally disordered is regressive and destructive to language and society as a whole.

    Whatever new word or term is adopted to separate those two genders is going to be what is used now until that becomes offensive once again and we need to come up with a new term or word.

    Which makes the entire purpose a dead end.

    There is no difference between these two individuals.

    Both are dressing up to be something other, and the costume ranges in believability.

    I personally believe in 2 genders, with the occasional exception (i.e. hermaphrodyte).
    I also don't believe I need pronouns to describe myself. I have a penis and two balls, therefore I am a male. End of story.
    And it's hard to offend me about this stuff.
    I'm a live and let live kind of guy.

    Conservatives are live and let live. It's the trans community however that are not "live and let live". If you do not submit to their reality...allow your children to be groomed into values and beliefs different to that of the parent, they will go after you. Hence, they do not value "live and let live"

    I don't think I can agree with you on that. You are trying to demonize a part of the population by painting them as extreme and inflexible. Also, the term "groomer" just won't do it anymore. That being said, I should walk a mile in your moccasins first, kemosabe, so invite me over for a nice liberal cafe latte and we will go visit the trans community together. I have to admit, I've had absolutely no contact with that community - but that's not deliberate, it's just the way the dice have fallen in my life.

    BTW, very nice to hear from you.

    Not usually, no. Conservatives are about maintaining what is and restisting change. It has usually been conservatives who try to tell people how they must live. The woke are an exception, not the rule.

    We've had transgender and drag. What we didn't have was men invading woman's spaces or this **** being pushed onto kids
