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…
And I did not misquote, I cut and pasted it to prevent misquoting. I try to be careful, as a slight mis-wording can change the meaning from person to person significantly.
Apology accepted. Thank you, I was indeed offended. Was is the active principle by the way. I realize the statement "straight to hell" was extreme, but it was chosen for shock factor due to the easy acceptance of transgenderism in today's society. I still stand by it, but with the framework of straight to hell from the position of having died without repentance. From the Judge to the cell, that kind of straight to hell.
Transgenderism is in my opinion is just another sexual perversion that man lifts him self above his animal nature by controlling. It is no worse or better than Homosexuality or pedophilia or bestiality. And it will have exactly the same spiritual result.
What makes a man different from an animal is his ability to lift himself up spiritually. Not all do. From my understanding, Man was made in Gods image, but it takes self control to grow up into something other than the physical shell that we reside in.
I suspect a monkey looks more like, and is more physically like a man than a man looks like and is physically like the Multidimensional being God. What makes man so much above a monkey other than his morality, and willingness to sacrifice what is his direct desires for a cause that is moral.
How different is a Homosexual fulfilling sexual or other desires no matter the cost to society or others, and an Ape who is just doing what he wants, with no understanding beyond his animal nature? Both are acting out the same thing for the same reasons.
I do not worship a "mother nature". But I do observe that is the way God made things, and I know from my heart and the Bible that it is wise to do as God intended, rather than try to rewrite the rules. There is a cost to sticking your finger in Gods eye.

From Rush on April 1st - Medicare and Addadictomy, Chopadickoffamy Surgery

So, if they go through a sex change from a male to a female and then find that they were just emotional, made the incorrect original decision, and change their mind, will duke pay for the second sex change back to the original sex???
I don’t think Duke ever disclosed their final court settlement payout on that screw up.
“Great - go to college and you may not acquire an education, but you can certainly get a sn*tch.”
Well, one of those certainly can secure a person’s livelihood at least as well as a good education, just not when it’s attached to a mutilated dude.
Wonder how the Duke Divinity School feels about this....
“Yet another reason I’m glad I got the hell out of Durham last year”
Same here. Lived in Duke Forest, not far from campus...
I’m a traitor as I now live in Chapel Hill!!!! Just changed the shade of “blue.”
The most painful part of a sex change is when they drill that hole in your head and remove half the synapses!!!
Antagonist here, so I won’t state which direction the sex change is made with the above procedure!!!!
What hath GOD wrought?
It DOES???
I know it says...
Galatians 5:12 NIV
As for those agitators, I wish they would go the whole way and emasculate themselves!
Yes; it was. And also wrong.
Only if they’ve saved all the old parts and haven’t already reused them.
And what about the hormones you need to take for life?
Oh yeah... There's Obamacare for that! But it's not going to cost you one more cent and you can keep your present policy.... (yeah, right)
Oh God, I’m so sorry. I think I’d rather live in Durham than Chapel Hill. The level of self-satisfied liberal smug in CH is just too much for me to bear.
I lived in Tuscaloosa-Lakewood, I think that neighborhood adjoins Duke Forest. Nice enough people, very diverse in every way but worldview. Almost 100% bonehead liberal, a real weird mixture of Duke staff, normal working people who had become Obamazombies, illegal aliens up in the Chapel Hill Road corridor, and ethnic drug-dealer types (mainly confined to one apartment complex).
I live in Kannapolis now, a place with REAL diversity. Not only diversity of skin color and income, but diversity of thought.

That’s weird that Duke Health would buy a hospital in Yooperland. And when we lived in Durham my wife had to go to the ER at Duke for a broken bone in her foot. She ended up waiting SIX HOURS to be seen (in the middle of the night), got a doctor with a horrible bedside manner, got blown off by the orthopedist on her followup visit and never given another followup, and then they screwed up the billing by trying to charge the bill to somebody else’s Blue Cross and coming after us when BCBS rejected it, threatening to take us to collections when we’d never even seen the bill. It got worked out in the end but it took far more effort than it should have.
They really are one of the best teaching hospitals and med schools in the country if not the world, but as a hospital system serving the public, especially in a craphole like Durham, NC, they “ain’t all that.”

Wonder when one goes from he to she do they remove the adams apple?.
Very strange people who want to change body parts.
No; you did not.
You used YOUR words - not Scripture - to make a point.
Scripture has a book, chapter and verse as a reference.
Your words had none.
You may be correct; but your FIRST statement (may I quote you?) said:
#18 - Bible says someone that does sex change surgery is going straight to Hell.
Does - not HAS.
Now, in MY mind that refers to the DOCTOR 'doing' the surgery.
It appears now, as you've explained a bit more thoroughly, that it is the one RECEIVING the surgery.
