Professors at America's top medical schools are being bullied into teaching students that biological sex is a construct and are apologizing for using the terms 'male' and 'female', students say.
Reporter Katie Herzog spoke with one student at a med school in the University of California system who says instructors are too scared to acknowledge the existence of two different sexes because it 'can be considered transphobic.'
The student - identified only as Lauren - shared her story with Herzog in an article published on Bari Weiss's Substack blog on Tuesday.
'I think there's a small percentage of instructors who are true believers [in woke ideology], but most of them are probably just scared of their students,' Lauren told Herzog.
Lauren claims that, in recent months, students have circulated a number of petitions designed to 'name and shame' instructors for 'wrongspeak.'
In one of Lauren's classes, which was recorded and posted online, a professor profusely apologized for using the term 'pregnant woman'.
Lauren says the unnamed professor told their class: 'I said "when a woman is pregnant," which implies that only women can get pregnant and I most sincerely apologize to all of you.
'I don't want you to think that I am in any way trying to imply anything, and if you can summon some generosity to forgive me, I would really appreciate it,' the professor states in the recording, which Herzog obtained access to.
'It was certainly not my intention to offend anyone. The worst thing that I can do as a human being is be offensive.'
'Since recent petitions were sent out, instructors have been far more proactive about 'correcting' their slides in advance or sending out emails to the school listserv if any upcoming material has 'outdated' terminology,' Lauren told Herzog.

Q: What do you call someone who graduated from medical school with a C average?
A: Doctor
I wonder if any future Gynecologists were in that group of medical students ??
Joseph Stalin would be proud of these student commies.
“Q: What do you call someone who graduated from medical school with a C average?
A: Doctor”
Truer words!
Six years ago I attended the graduation of a friend of the family, when he became a doctor. During the ceremony I was astounded when they announced that the Class Valedictorian, with a 2.2 grade point average, would be giving the commencement speech.
They really have lowered the standards. I’d be ashamed if I only had a 2.2 index.
What happened to the days of the professor holding the power of career life or death over the students?
I’m a sixty-three year old MALE.
If my doctor does a pregnancy test on me, he’ll no longer be my doctor.
I expect, as a minimum, for a medical doctor to know and understand how and why a woman—and women ONLY—gets pregnant. Accept the Science!
One that accepts males can also get pregnant is NOT at all versed in science. What’s next, holes in my skull to release demons? Leeches to suck my blood?
Simply and utterly preposterous!
Maybe, but the worst thing you can do as a teacher to your pupils is not to teach them the truth - and that ought to have been more important in this case.
The US now has a de facto NHS.
God help us.
Classic moronic liberal insanity on full public display.
They should be immediately kicked out, not listened to.
'I don't want you to think that I am in any way trying to imply anything, and if you can summon some generosity to forgive me, I would really appreciate it,' the professor states in the recording, which Herzog obtained access to.
'It was certainly not my intention to offend anyone. The worst thing that I can do as a human being is be offensive.'
this simpering apology is why the left is winning.
Who is going to take the advice of a trans[trans=fake] Doctor?
I work as a nurse. Even most of *us* can tell the difference.
XY or XX
Class dismissed.
How do they learn about a hysterectomy if they can’t used the term female?
Woke language while teaching medicine? I never believed it would get THIS bad.
The movie “Idiocracy” was a documentary.
Democrats are evil.
Difficult if not impossible to teach any kind of applicable medicine without, at some time, entering into the concept that distinct biological differences exist between those who possess XX chromosomes and those who possess XY chromosomes.
“Transgender” is biologically impossible. The underlying cellular structure remains unchanged, no amount of hormones or body mutilations can EVER change that. At best, a male can become neuter, or a female can become neuter, but the chromosome conformation remains for a lifetime.
In the spirit of higher education, he should have tasked the student with demonstrating or showing an example of how conception and growth of the baby occurs within a biological male. Side note, a female pretending to be a male does not count.
How is his language ‘offensive’...? If a man decides he wants to be a woman, then (according to them) he is a woman. Whether he can get pregnant or not is irrelevant. Only woman can get pregnant.
The peaceful majority are seemingly irrelevant. These weirdos are taking over. This small minority of weirdos.
