Honorary Degrees Hit New Extreme of Worthlessness
Moonbattery ^ | May 20, 2025 | Dave Blount

The official ideology of academia is moonbattery, a fundamental component of which is self-hatred. So no one should be surprised that Smith College — a women’s college — just granted an honorary degree to a man who has waged war on women.

The honoree is Richard “Rachel” Levine…

…who has weaponized his medical position as a doctor to attack fairness in women’s sports, privacy in women’s intimate settings, and a generation’s ability to have children.

Levine took part in the abomination that was the Biden Regime as assistant secretary for health at the Department of Health and Human Services.

[H]e has repeatedly condemned commonsense laws protecting women, claiming that these laws represent a threat not just to his worldview but to people’s health.

Mr. Levine has no regrets that he didn’t transition to a grotesque parody of a woman until relatively late in life, because that way he got to have kids.

Yet Levine seems not to care about the next generation’s ability to have children. Not only does he champion “gender-affirming care” for young people, but he pressured the World Professional Association for Transgender Health—an activist group masquerading as the authority on health care for transgender people—to remove age limits for transgender surgery.

As illustrated at ZeroHedge, bestowing honors on Levine expresses contempt not only for real women but for truth…

It is an interesting kind of horror that modern academia, an environment where objective facts should be most revered, has instead become an environment where objective facts are most reviled. The complete denial of biological reality within the western academic community is an enduring source of social disruption. Their continued promotion of gender fluid theory, based on zero concrete scientific evidence, is stealing opportunities from real women and turning western education into an embarrassing mockery.

…and for mental health:

The overarching problem with the trans movement is that it demands the normalization and even celebration of mental illness under protected group status. On the totem pole of social justice, trans people are at the top, enjoying a venerated position even above black women and gays.

There is one good reason for the Ivory Tower to lavish honors on Levine. He personifies moonbattery as well as anyone alive.

Not all real women are pleased: (videos on link)

In the interest of fairness, now let’s hear from the other side (LANGUAGE ALERT):

One of these sides has Big Education behind it.

I have reached the point where the only award I desire is the crown I will lay at His feet. I’m just a stranger here; heaven is my home.

Well, Smithies were never known for their intellectual horse power.

I want those Admiral uniforms burned. Not with the creature in them - we’re not savages here. The Rommel Option of giving it a one-round-loaded pistol and closing the door will do.

Just like the Nobel Prize after 0bama got one for doing something he might do.

No one has talked with "Rachel"s family to ask them how they feel about "Dad". I imagine the pain, the shame is utterly unbearable.

And, after a psychiatrist found him not a suitable candidate for transgender surgery, “Rachel” did the surgery on himself in a bathroom.
