Duke Raises Student Fees to Pay for Sex Change Surgery
College Fix ^ | 01 May 2013

Posted on 05/02/2013 7:28:47 AM PDT by Lorianne

College costs are on the rise–having increased at a rate that outpaces inflation for more than two decades, contributing to record levels of student debt. Nevertheless, Duke University saw fit to raise the cost of its program even more. This week Campus Reform reports that Duke has raised student fees in order to pay for sex change operations for any student who wants one.

Administrators say they will cover the cost of the reassignment surgery up to $50,000 that will be covered with a cause a 0.3 percent increase to overall student fees.LGBT advocates on campus immediately celebrated the university’s decision.

“The addition of sexual reassignment surgery with a $50,000 cap makes Duke’s student health care plan one of the most, if not the most, transgender-inclusive plans in the country,” Sunny Frothingham, the outreach chair for Blue Devils United told the Duke Chronicle last week…

Should they change their name to “Duchess”?

I think “Do-Over University” is more appropriate...

What used to be only a Blue Devil, is now participating in evil. Does that allow for an upgrade in their mascot?

They should make the Duke-87 pay for it instead.

A bit of a change from Duke’s (mostly) Methodist roots, eh?

Duke’s motto (since 1859) is Eruditio et Religio (Knowledge and Religion). Can’t help wondering what religion Duke thinks it has today (it sure ain’t Christianity....)?

Maybe we should round up a bunch of confused youths and cloward and piven Duke University because 100% of their new students want a “add a dictomy”.

I wonder how the Libs would feel about having their own sick tactics used against them.?

Just wonder does that include Duke University Health Systems because in 2012 the State of Michigan approved the sale of Marquette General Health Hospital to be part of Duke University health Systems. Marquette is a teaching hospital and a Level 1 trauma Center. (I am not kidding about Duke University purchasing a hospital in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan).

This is weird, but may explain some weird charges showing up on my Marquette General Hospital bill (A Duke University Health Systems Facility) that i do not understand. The billing comes from Illinois - outsourced their medical billing to another state.

Deuoteromony 23:1 No one whose testicles are crushed or whose male organ is cut off shall enter the assembly of the Lord. (crushing the testicals was an old method of castration)

Leviticus 18:22 You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination. (You can sew in a hole, but he is still a male)

Hebrews 13:4 Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral...

1 corinthians 6:0-10 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral,... nor men who practice homosexuality...will inherit the kingdom of God.

Now there are other scriptures that make exceptions for birth defects and castration not under your control. And I would suspect Christ can even forgive a repentant tranny, but everyone that I have met that has gone this route is too far gone for that.

I just wanted clarification because what you said is factually incorrect. The Bible does not say what you wrote. Misquoting the Bible is no small thing.

Word about this gets out and Duke will have the largest “transgender” population in the country. Fees will really have to increase then!

If you castrate yourself by hiring a doctor so you can wear panties and go to bed with other men or marry them you will fufill all the scriptures I quoted.

There actually is a reason that I took the time to quote the scriptures that I did, and did your study for you, in hopes that if perhaps you were too unable to look it up for yourself, if I laid it all out for you you might pick it up.

But, serving you on a silver platter did no good I see.

You want to argue scripture, how about you show me the scripture that allows transexualism surgery and lifestyle?

That just might put some weight in your words.

“is factually incorrect”
“Misquoting the Bible”

“Where?”

Should I reject the text, on your say so just, because?

Who are you to contradict scripture, and expect me to buy it with no argument?

Jesus is my Master, not Pan_Yan.

By the way, when playing poker, you need to match the bet an have better cards before trying to grab the stack. Its a red neck thingie.

Just sitting here wondering...

If a student can keep a high GPA after having this kind of operation and, depending on whether the operation is from male to female or female to male, would that make them eligible to be the class hadadictorian or addadictorian?

Discuss.

You posted: Bible says someone that does sex change surgery is going straight to Hell.

I asked you where. None of the scriptures you posted in response specifically say what you claimed in post 18. I am very hesitant to put a limit on the grace of God by saying that a sad and twisted soul who goes through this mutilation is beyond God's redemption. From my limited understanding of scripture the only unforgivable sin is dying without Jesus. Maybe your understanding is different.

I do apologize since my post appears to have angered you. That was not my intention.
