An associate professor at The University of New Mexico says that she is concerned she will be forced to lie and teach that there are only two genders, male and female.
Georgiann Davis, an associate professor at The University of New Mexico, wrote in an op-ed Thursday in the Los Angeles Times that she is concerned about being forced to lie when speaking about sexuality. The piece was headlined, “I’m an intersex professor. Am I supposed to lie by teaching ‘only male and female’?”
She noted a viral video on Reddit of a Texas A&M student questioning Professor Melissa McCoul over rhetoric on “gender and sexuality” and “gender ideology.”
McCoul shared a graphic of a purple “gender unicorn” that’s used to teach on differences on gender identity and sexuality, according to The Texas Tribune.
“Um, I just have a question because I’m not entirely sure this is legal to be teaching,” the female asked in the video referred to by Davis. “Because according to our president, there’s only two genders…. And this also very much goes against not only myself, but a lot of people’s religious beliefs.”
McCoul was eventually fired over what the university claimed was teaching content inconsistent with her own course’s description.
A statement from former Texas A&M President Mark A. Welsh III, who recently stepped down from his role, addressed the controversy in a post last month on Texas A&M’s X account.
“I learned this afternoon that key leaders in the College of Arts and Sciences approved plans to continue teaching course content that was not consistent with the course’s published description,” Welsh said. “As a result, I directed the provost to remove the dean and department head from their administrative positions, effective immediately.”

ACK!
You are supposed to tell the truth by...
... teaching ‘only male and female’!
Butt would he want to?
Ya see Pokey, I have no genitals.
Gosh Gumby, can you still horse around?
tHE PROBLEM IS LESS THAT THE LEFT REDEFINES WORDS TO CHANGE The problem is less that the left tries to change the meanings of words in order to change the thinking of the rest of us but that malmost all of the notmal people go right along with it; witness the instant left vocabulary use by the posters on FR.
I studied Latin, so I get the "3 genders". Four? I'm curious.
masculine, feminine, common, and neuter. Masculine refers to male beings, feminine to female beings, common gender to beings of either sex, and neuter gender to non-living things or things without a specific sex.
I tend to lump common and neuter as one. I was always taught 3 in English classes.
Morons?
My statement was indeed gibberish.
Das Mädchen aß die Kartoffel.
No one here on FR has adopted the language of wokeness. The word gender has been a synonym for a person's biological sex for a long, long time.
The Left mixed up the two definitions and twisted the word to mean something different from grammatical usage or biological sex.
I remember the word gender was used as a synonym for biological sex 40+ years ago. Gender was used in place of sex on our school forms. I always assumed the school used the word gender with two letters to circle (M or F) to stop the silly jokes (i.e. boys would write "often" on the line next to 'Sex').
I own some old dictionaries. The 1967 dictionary lists the #2 definition for gender as "sex" (in colloquial use), which means the word was used in everyday language to mean the biological sex of a person. My 1989 pocket dictionary lists 'sex' as the #1 definition for gender. So, gender was used as an accepted synonym for 'sex' long before wokeness.
Let's go back even further... The #2 definition for gender was "a sex, male or female" in the 1828 Webster's dictionary (https://webstersdictionary1828.com/Dictionary/gender) and the 1913 Webster's dictionary (https://www.websters1913.com/words/Gender).
So, the people who use gender as a synonym for biological sex are using the word correctly. We are correct when we say there are only two genders - male and female - when we use it as a synonym for a person's sex.
The Left twisted the definition to mean something different from biological sex. They changed it to whatever someone wants to be, instead of what that person is.
Well the OED which is the dictionary of all dictionaries differs.
Gender is a term that encompasses language grammar and related management of language and grammar since 1390.
By 1825 gender grammar was about assigning sex labels to inanimate objects or words.
In 1964 the term gender-identity was introduced and it was used to defined aspects of maleness and femaleness
After 1980...which was the beginning of Aids and militant homosexuality and lesbianism the OED defines a number of GENDER hyphenated terms. However does not change its original definition of gender and it does not substitute for the term sex.
If she is a true intersection instead of a female with a stretched out or enlarged clitoris or a make with a micro penis she should be teaching that she is a nature’s accident with rare developmental defects. A true pity.
That would be the truth.
