University investigates feminist grad student for saying men can’t become women
College Fix ^ | July 12, 2019 | Alexander Pease

What are the odds a feminist graduate student could be under siege for feminist rhetoric on a California campus?

Under an intersectional framework and evolving definition of “woman,” much higher than you might expect.

University of California-Santa Barbara doctoral students, alumni and “allies” are demanding the administration take action against Laura Tanner, an outspoken critic of transgender ideology and doctoral candidate in its Department of Feminist Studies.

Tanner’s Twitter feed is dominated by discussion of transgender ideology’s threat to women, including young lesbians. She believes that transgender women – biological males – are wrongly appropriating a female identity.

Yup, they are eating their own. The big question is why. How and why did the transgender issue become a hill so many are rushing out to die on?

There are a vanishingly small number of trans gender individuals in society so why is our entire political class, media members, academics, judges in justice system and leaders of corporate America ramming this issue down the throats of the American people, most of whom either oppose or could care less

Wonder how Joseph Stalin would have dealt with this dilemma.

If that’s the case, I wonder how many PHDs it takes to screw in a lightbulb?

There’s a reason that the differences between men and women are divided into primary and secondary sexual characteristics.

You can change, or substantially simulate change, of the secondary characteristics (breasts, facial hair, body fat/musculature) through hormone administration, but you can’t fundamentally change the primary characteristics (genitalia). And an “addadicktome” doesn’t count—it’s a simulation, not a functional revision.

But, words can be used imprecisely, and many LGBTQ people think, or want to believe, “quacks like a duck” must always mean “it is a duck.”

It’s because asserting that you have the ability to “define” yourself, regardless of your created nature, is the ultimate rejection of God and the whole concept of created nature. This theory also nullifies the rights pertaining to you as a human being, that is, the natural rights of man, and you become entirely a “unit” at the disposal of the state. In addition, having the state force everyone else to accept this complete denial of visible, physical reality gives the state huge power.

So its importance is philosophical or metaphysical. Once we have divorced ourselves from physical reality and are forced to say that black is white, we are totally the property of the state, which steps into the place formerly held by God.

Genisis 5:2 He created them male and female, and He blessed them and named them Man in the day when they were created.

Sorry for the cliche' but It is what it is. Anyone who believe otherwise has to be either a liar, crazy or just adversarial to truth and reality, or worse.

1 and 1/2 trillion dollars in government-insured student loans for this crap?

Working on the dubious assumption that there are any normal males on the campus, want to be pretty sure none of them were getting laid. Unless they’re nuts.

Changing sex is easy. Change from conservative to liberal and you are half way there.
