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about 'correcting' their slides in advance or sending out emails to the school listserv if any upcoming material has 'outdated' terminology,' Lauren told Herzog.

Sounds like real trouble when Medical Students can’t tell the difference between male and female
Idiocracy was always a documentary and peak into the future. A film that gets less funny over time, but only because of how frighteningly accurate it’s been at predicting the future of mankind or is that peoplekind? :)
'How male and female members of our species develop, how they differ genetically, anatomically, physiologically, and with respect to diseases and their treatment are foundational to clinical medicine and research,' one anonymous former dean of a top medical school told Herzog.The fact that even FORMER dean's cower and refuse to step into the light to reveal the lunacy shows we are in deep trouble. Is the former dean afraid of losing his or her pension? Of having the mob show up outside his or her house?
I’ll bet you could. Lol
But, your SIL is a guy? I know, more stories.....
I don’t know who is the bigger ahole.....the woke “medical students” or the groveling “professors” who apologize for using the term “male” and “female.”
“Student: “Professor, you said ‘pregnant woman’ and that is not proper terminology.”
Professor: “You are an idiot and you are in serious danger of failing my class. I suggest you stop saying stupid stuff.””

The world is being brought down fear. Fear of possibly offending someone!
“OK...you flunk the class. Please leave the classroom.
“Now...are there any other students that would like to attempt to bully me?”
“No? Then let’s get back to the lesson I was teaching before I was interrupted by that former student.”
The quacks are coming!
Yup, Chinese Cultural Revolution level craziness. Never thought I’d see this in my lifetime.

The surviving Monty Python players are all pretty liberal. I wonder if any of them look back on that skit and regret making fun of the nascent trans movement. Or if not regret, as if they’re now better informed now on what reality is then they were back then.
Son in Law...ha!
Well, there are true hermaphrodites and chimera that may have male and female cells in their body. It is something that should be studied in a course on teratology in med schools.
If the test is called HCG by physicians I won’t have a problem at all. But if they refer to it as a pregnancy test, and don’t tell me what you just said about the HCG, then yes, I would leave that smart-assed doctor and seek another.
I’m too old to be trifled with.
What was once humor is now today's reality.
That is true. I will say though, as this sketch illustrates amply, they took shots at all sides (in this case, a man who wishes to be a woman) so they certainly understood that concept.
They did enjoy poking fun at Conservatism and the military, no doubt, but also dished to the lunatics on the Left.
Woke medical students
I pity anybody who gets treated by that crazy mob.
Woke Doctor:Time for your gynecological check up Mrs. Jones.
Mr Jones: but I am a man and I am here for a prostate exam.
No
This sort of thing has been going on for a loooooong time in med schools. I saw it personally in the 70s. Not this exact “protest” but the issues of the day back then. Med students are some of the most self-important people you’ll ever see.
