Pro-Transgender Censorship Is Tearing Universities Apart
American Thinker ^ | 8 Nov, 2021 | Michael Curtis

Posted on 11/08/2021 4:23:26 AM PST by MtnClimber

Academia has a huge problem on its hands.

While it is true that there are similar views on issues within particular gender groups, nevertheless, gender groups, like race or ethnic groups, are not monolithic. Some women, almost always associated with academic institutions or affairs, have increasingly been involved prominently in bitter intellectual disputes with other women on issues pertinent to the nature and definition of gender and sex, and whether gender is dependent on social and cultural factors.

On this question there are at least four relevant facts. First, the disputes have become more extreme and acrimonious than is customary on an intellectual issue, and they have also become offensive and discriminatory. Second, they have taken on a frenetic tone, as if the definition of gender and sexuality were an issue on the same life-threatening scale as Western relations with China or the nuclear deal with Iran. Third, unlike almost all other intellectual disputes, this dispute, mainly among educated women, has led to serious outcomes such as loss of job and discrimination. Fourth, above all, the issue is most significant because it is central to the principle of freedom of expression, especially in universities. The doctrine that ideas with which you disagree are dangerous and harmful and should be stopped is a crucial issue, fostering a culture of censorship.

The administrators may think it is marxist fun and games until the radicals drag them off to be stoned for failing to deliver utopia.

“The administrators may think it is marxist fun and games until the radicals drag them off to be stoned for failing to deliver utopia.”

That’s where the iron fist part comes into play. Even Marxists/Communists have officially constituted a Republic of sorts. The job ain’t finished until the paperwork is in.

If someone needing a blood transfusion, with “A+” blood declare that they are really a neutral blood type and take any blood, including animal blood? NO!

So how can someone who is DNA male declare they are actually a woman. DNA does not lie.

Don’t support public universities. Not even football. They have not delivered fully educated citizens. I went to them when they had standards. Now....just Potemkin constructs.

Notice how the pro-trans crowd goes after the women and black men speaking up about this nonsense, never white men. They’ll happily cancel JK Rowling and Dave Chappelle, but they’ll never challenge the white guy in a MAGA hat. Because they are cowards at heart. As my mother says, “Scratch a bully and a coward bleeds.”
