A student who was born female felt perfectly comfortable identifying as a man at Wellesley College — until people said he shouldn’t be class diversity officer because he is now a white male.
Timothy Boatwright was born a girl, and checked off the “female” box when applying to the Massachusetts all-women’s school, according to an article in the New York Times. But when he got there, he introduced himself as a “masculine-of-center genderqueer” person named “Timothy” (the name he picked for himself) and asked them to use male pronouns when referring to him.
And, by all accounts, Boatwright felt welcome on campus — until the day he announced that he wanted to run for the school’s office of multicultural affairs coordinator, whose job is to promote a “culture of diversity” on campus.

Multi-cultured her/himself right out of this world!!
It’s either xx or xy. Any other variation is a mental illness, as is the “reality is a social construct”.
Makes logical sense and is absolutely internally consistent if you are a totally committed PCer.
Under their world view, Timmy is now 100% a man and this makes him a traitor to her gender.
She has become a member of the oppressor patrimony.
“It’s gonna be satisfying to watch”
As long as you get to watch it from far, far away.
I don’t think we’ll have that luxury right away. It will take time to beat the ferals back and establish America again. We will likely have an up close view for a while.
That’s a little different. Rev. Wright would call that “Ridin Dirty!”.
Stock up on 12ga. ammo

Imagine trying to parse this gibberish as someone who doesn’t read English. It’s bad enough for someone who can. I think the trick is to realize the media is always going to refer to the genderwhatever in question by whatever pronoun makes the least amount of sense.

IT’S PAT!
This is a shockingly stupid topic for anyone to care about. There is no such thing as "transgender", just mental illness (or, post-op, mental illness and physically mutilated). There shouldn't be such a thing as a "Diversity Officer". The fact that more than one or two mentally ill students care about a "Diversity Officer" is worrisome, and that's the only important part of this story. Today's educators have failed all students who care about this topic.
I’ve never used one but I would love to have one in case I’m driving in the middle of nowhere and really have to go. It’s happened before.
How long before the trans-species wackos crawl out of the woodwork?
They’ll be showing up at dog grooming businesses, itching to be discriminated against.
Saluting FReeper Scoutmaster, who properly noted in his discrete private note to me, the correct phrase is “Hoist on his own petard”. A petard was a small roundish cannon-like device that was hung from a spike on the gate of the castle you were storming. The intent was to apply a more directed force over a very small area in order to blow a hole in the gate. (Makes you wonder how they chose the “lucky” team of soldiers who got to drive the spike and set the charge.) The phrase comes from Shakespeare, which is why is sounds so odd to those of us who do not normally use 16th century phrasing in everyday speech. But no matter how you say it, the very phrase sounds painful.
What the fu.....?
Oh, sweetie. You still look like a girl.
