[University of Maryland Lecturer]UC Berkeley Lecture:It Is Necessary to Apply Transgender Studies to
NRO ^ | February 6, 2015 | By Katherine Timpf

The University of California–Berkeley is hosting a lecture about how it is “necessary” to apply gay and transgender studies to agriculture because agriculture is all about reproduction and our food systems will suffer if we don’t.

“So why queer agriculture? This seems like an odd question . . .” says the description, prompting an “uh, yeah” in my head, before continuing with “. . .but it becomes more obvious with research and analysis.”

That second part I’m not so sure about, however, considering how many times I felt like my brain was going to explode as I continued reading.

“Since agriculture is literally the backbone of economics, politics, and ‘civilized” life as we know it, and the manipulation of reproduction and sexuality are a foundation of agriculture, it is absolutely crucial queer and transgender studies begin to deal more seriously with the subject of agriculture,” it states.

You know, in case your dairy cow decides that she feels like a bull.

It’s not just at Berkley anymore. There are students at major schools in Mississippi who study African American Environmental History.

Up is down and down is up. Where are we now? See Gauguin on an island somewhere questioning everything and saying the same thing.. We are there again—nowhere.

So, what are we talking about exactly here? Things like boy carrots getting their whazits lopped off so they can be girl carrots? Boy cabbages who feel like they are trapped in their bodies and yearn to wear girl-cabbage clothing? Gay cowboys eating pudding together? Or more serious matters like trying to milk boy cows or the difficulties in increasing your herds if you have only transgendered or queer animals to start with?

I’ve heard of what some straight guys do with watermelons. But now the great University of California will tell us what homosexuals do with them? Yippee! Essential knowledge without which our lives have been so terribly boring ( please pardon the bad pun) and well, unful-filled ( ditto, assuming the homosexual emolument of the melons includes shoving them up their a@@es?). Perhaps the second stanza of UC’s “Hail to California” contains a clue why the taxpayers money is being spent studying “Queer” fruits and vegetables: Hail to California,
Queen in whom we’re blest;
Spreading light and goodness
Over all the West.
Fighting ‘neath her standard,
We shall sure prevail;
California, Alma Mater,
Hail! Hail! Hail!
