A group of students at the University of Southern Maine in Portland, Maine are calling for their professor to be fired after she said in class only two sexes exist.
Christy Hammer, a professor of education, allegedly made the statement during a heated debate about gender identity in her 'Creating a Positive Learning Environment' class, causing an uproar among the graduate students.
Only one student agreed with the educator.
The rest maintained both biological sexes and social genders are on a spectrum
The point was first made during class on September 7, but was repeated a week later after student Elizabeth Leibiger, who is non-binary and was absent the previous week, brought up the topic again.
She then said she felt 'under personal attack' after the professor again said only two sexes exist.
'I asked [Hammer] how many sexes there were,' Leibiger said. 'She said, 'Two.' I felt under personal attack.'
Biologically, there are only two sexes. Men have XY chromosomes, while women have XX chromosomes. Progressives say gender can have a broader spectrum than sex.
But anti-woke campaigners warning that the fixation on denying the biological reality that only two sexes exist is absurd, and potentially puts people's health at risk.
Almost the entire class of 22 students walked out, all except one demanding a meeting to be held with the university's School of Education and Human Development
Two dozen graduate students in the class continued to demand that the university replace Hammer, believing her to be transphobic.
Students are now refusing to return to the classroom in which she teaches and will only attend class if a new educator be appointed.
The class is a requirement to complete the graduate-level Extended Teacher Education Program and become a certified teacher in Maine

Progressives? Those guys again...
The girl looks like she’s the life of the party wherever she goes.
On a serious note, red dyed hair and nose piercings are a huge red flag. Plus, if she IDs as “non-binary,” what does a guy do with her on a date? Does she even date guys?
If I were a younger guy I would avoid this type at all costs.
My 7th grade science students loved when we did punnett squares on characteristics. Always saved it for the last three weeks before vacation. Kept their interest until the very end.
Over 95% of students in this class should not be future educators-
Just as those wise judges say they will NOT hire Yalies as interns...ALL employers should take a stand.
For GOD’s sake, they have to show the insanity.
“How can “two dozen” in a class of 22 be a thing?”
An anti-bakers dozen???
Proving once again that the self proclaimed “party of the educated” are nothing more than a brainwashed cult.
Your friend is erudite and wise.
