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.

This is a great strategy for paying off student loans. She’ll sue for discrimination and the university will settle for a large enough money to pay off her loans and buy her first house.

Yes, one of the fundamental assertions of Leftism, is that environment and education is everything, and genetics plays no role.

Twenty years ago, you would be labeled evil for noting that there were statistically significant differences in IQ between races.

Now, you are evil if you note that XY versus XX chromosomes makes any difference.

Interesting that I have been contacted by people from the left who are just overwhelmingly rejecting the trans issues and are looking closely at their beliefs and the right.

In the Old Testament there are accounts of the huge enemy about to square off against the Israelites. But then God creates confusion in the midst of the enemy and they end up killing each other.

I seriously think that God is doing the same thing here with all of the discord between the gays, trans, feminists, etc. When one builds their world view on lies, of course they will become confused and it will fall apart some day.

doctoral candidate in its Department of Feminist Studies.

I think I see the problem here, Consensus is Science, even if it is factually incorrect.

“There are a vanishingly small number of trans gender individuals in society...”

I think there is a very small chance that one can actually be “transgender”. However, the huge increase of teens and young adults that have gender dysphoria indicates that most of it today is a cultural thing, a social contagion. Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria (ROGD).

The increase in boys going to clinics is up something like 400% in the last ten years. For girls (wanting to be boys) it is up 4,500%!! (Similar to other hysterias such as anorexia and cutting.)

The Emperor has no clothes is probably about the actual phenomena that happened in the 1300 - 1500’s where people thought they were made of glass and would break!

King Charles VI of France had it. His servants would pack him in straw and a box in order to move him around!

I saw that video and that man is probably one of the most deeply disturbed individuals I’ve ever had the displeasure of seeing.

I was a flight instructor for the UCSB flying club. All the female students that I had were females. That was back in the 70s and 80s. Today there is no such thing as a female. Let me say that again. By today’s standards there is no such thing as a female.

And the absolute reason is because .................... if anything can become a female then there is no such thing as female. Can’t be!!!!!!!!!!!

“doctoral candidate in its Department of Feminist Studies”

IOW the Department of “As Useful as Tits on a Boar”

A doctorate for which it is worth going into 15 years of crushing debt.

If we continue to allow men and boys to play women’s sports we will soon have an all male Olympics.

“where people thought they were made of glass and would break”
There are many snowflakes who are made of glass. One punch would shatter their false illusion of tough guy/tough girl in a second.
Nothing teaches one respect for others quite like a punch in the nose.
