Based on the following I fail to see where there is cause for a discrimination report being taken up by the University.

“...failed Fulnecky on the grounds that she neglected to address the prompt and relied more on “personal ideology” than “empirical evidence,”

If that is the reason Fulnecky was failed than the grad student was right in doing so. Fulnecky should be able to follow the instructions of the lesson which was on “how people are perceived based on societal expectations of gender,”. Now there was nothing wrong with her using Biblical references provided it was to show how belief influences perception. What would not meet the prompt would be to simply string together Bible passages to go beyond the original prompt to convey her personal beliefs.

Even if the prompt had called for debating whether there are more than two gender (sexes) exist, a college student should be able to argue against that notion by using sources other than Scripture. That there are only two genders is a matter of scientific fact and ideology one way or the other will not change that.

There was nothing offensive about what Fulnecky wrote it just lacked academic rigor.

The irony is that is the EXACT thing trannies use to justify themselves.
