At Florida State University, students are being educated on etiquette — where the sexually marginalized are concerned.
The college boasts an Allies and Safe Zones program, which encourages the following pledge:
I am an Ally, and this space is a Safe Zone.
I am committed to working toward providing a safe, confidential support network for members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer community.
I am committed to treating everyone with the dignity and respect they deserve.
In support of the above, the program offers 10 “Educational Handouts”:
The Transgender Etiquette brochure lists unacceptable “backhanded compliments”:
- “When did you decide you were a man/woman?”
- “You seem so normal.”
- “You look just like a real man/woman!”
- “Are you pre- or post-op?”
- “You’re so pretty, I never would’ve known!”
Enrollees are instructed to always use someone’s preferred pronouns — “if you don’t know what pronouns to use, ask.”
And don’t get it twisted; trans people are pervasive:
Don’t assume you can tell whether someone is transgender by looking. You should always assume there may be a transgender person present in any gathering and communicate respectfully.
Moreover, don’t sweat the small stuff:
Don’t worry about what bathroom people use.
Every member of the FSU community is free to use whichever restroom aligns with their gender identity. Transgender people use the bathroom for the same reason cisgender people do. It isn’t up to other people to decide whether a person is in the “right” restroom. If a person chooses that bathroom, it is the right bathroom for them. The mere presence of a person in the restroom is not dangerous or harassing activity and is not a cause for alarm or complaint.
Regarding Ideas for Allies, here are a few:
- Refuse to tolerate anti-lesbian, -gay, -bisexual or -trans comments, attitudes, remarks or jokes.
- Ask others that any anti-lesbian, -gay, -bisexual or –trans humor displayed in common areas be removed completely or placed within private office or living spaces.
- Display positive materials in support of people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual or trans. If possible, post flyers on activities, support groups, programs, and resources for people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, or trans.
- Have available referral information for services which people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual or trans might need.
- Provide positive reinforcement to people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual or trans to help counter the messages of shame and guilt about homosexuality that are so prevalent in society.
FSU’s Bi-Basics implores students to avoid the following biphobic behavior:
- Assuming that everyone you meet is either heterosexual or homosexual.
- Not confronting a biphobic remark or joke for fear of being identified as bisexual.
- Automatically assuming romantic couplings of two women are lesbian, or two men are gay, or a man and a woman are heterosexual.
- Believing bisexual men spread AIDS/HIV and other STDs to heterosexuals.
- Thinking that bisexual people will have their rights when lesbian and gay people win theirs.
Lastly, the leaflet schools students on sexual reality. As it turns out, males are far less picky than females:
[A]s many as 15-25 percent of women and 33-46 percent of men may be bisexual.
College — like society — has radically transformed. In the past, people were left to work out social clashes among themselves. Presently, institutions instruct us on how to behave, which words to speak, and what to believe. We’re resultantly freed from the burden of independent thinking as the state thinks on our behalf.
Apropos of epic revolution, America’s heteronormative scourge looks to have gotten substantially squashed. After all, nearly half the nation’s men hanker to make it with people with prostates.
No surprise here. Go Gators!
Actually the number of men who are outright gay may be 100%.
Probably not, but may be.
How brave of them to jump on the bandwagon relentlessly pushed by the media.
Going along with the path of least resistance is just so special.
So everyone is either or pervert or will live in fear of the perverts.
Got it.
Yeah this is pervert fantasy porn here.
Gator Ade started with the University of Florida. If it had started with Florida State, it would have been called Seminole Fluid.
If 50% of men are bisexual then why would there be any need for all of this queer normalization propaganda?
Someone’s psychosis is showing at FSU.
When you ask someone what he or she does for a living and the response is “I’m an educator,” run for the hills.
China loves this.
Every American “Gender Studies” major is one fewer hard-science major...
This is putting something that ought to be subjective into a mandatory obligation. Mind control has never worked and those who think otherwise are egomaniacs.
What does anybody expect from the school with the first guy to be elected homecoming queen.....the same place that counts Richard Simmons as a proud alum?
As the old saying in Florida goes: “fsu, where the women are women, and the men are too.”
Go Gators.
This is about to end with the new anti DEI law passed by the Legislature. Unlike most Universities, FSU has a large and thriving YAF chapter and College Republican chapter.
That’s because it was a women’s college first, Florida State College for Women. Kinda funny. Go Gators!
Oh believe me....we Gators are well aware fsu didn’t go coed until after WWII. :^)
What you are seeing here is called “reprobation”; it is spiritual psychopathy/sociopathy and the clinical description is found in Rom. 1:18-32 and II Tim 3:1-5.
Do mean the number of men who could choose to be have sex with men, because you it has been scientifically proven there is NO l
No. I mean the phrase, “may be” allows for anything you want because it “may be” true that...
100% of men “may be” want to be 3’5” in height and be ugly as a butt.
You can create a study on the fly, as long as you use the words, “may be”.
That’s what I meant.
Good catch.
Newspeak. When I first saw trans-mutilation mandated words, my first thought was this his Newspeak, from Orwell’s 1984
