Harvard tells students gender identity can change ‘day to day’: Report
Washington Times ^

Posted on 04/21/2017 3:04:59 PM PDT by TigerClaws

A Harvard University office devoted to LGBT issues reportedly has issued a flier telling students that gender identity can change as frequently as “day to day.”

The flier from the Ivy League schools BGLTQ Student Life office, headlined “Get the facts about gender diversity,” informs readers that “Sex assigned at birth and gender identity are not necessarily the same,” Campus Reform reported Thursday.

The flyer adds that “gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, hormonal makeup, physical anatomy, and/or how one is perceived in daily life.”

The document also seems to categorize speech that challenges or disagrees with transgenderism as “violence.”

“Transphobic misinformation is a form of systemic violence,” read the document, which included examples of the alleged verbal violence: “Fixed binaries and biological essentialism, manifest in gendered language, misgendering someone, and the policing of trans bodies, threaten the lives of trans people.”

The reference to “fixed binaries” appears to have in view the notion that a person’s gender identity is dependent on an unalterable binary — male or female — scheme.

I’m no psychologist, but if you’re gender is changing day to day, drop everything and run don’t walk to get help.

I’d thought I’d seen just about everything. Lately I’m seeing new insanity almost hourly.

Does this apply to scholarships? Dorm rooms? Women sports?

The Puritans who founded this dump would puke on their buckled shoes if they saw the dimwits that run their school today. So sad; and at what 70k a year even sadder.

Seems like many people in Universities are either a) educated beyond their intelligence level. or b) think so much, that they think of stupid ideas.

Well, it is true. Today I identify as a goldfish, and yesterday, I self-identified as a honey badger! Tomorrow, I may be a self proclaimed buzzard!

The chameleon crowd. Making sure they have everything covered ALL the time. Insecure, paranoid, insane and in denial. The State hospitals need to be brought back.

This works both ways.

Anytime a liberal friend or relative makes a reference to me being a typical white male, I always answer "how do you know what gender I am?". When I say that, they are completely at a loss for words, because I've just successfully accused them of stereotyping.

I feel like a super taco right now, and a bag of popcorn for later. Hold the butter.

I can’t imagine why companies want to hire foreigners through the H1-B program when American academia is producing such a stellar domestic work force. /s

So if I’m a white male college applicant, I can now say that on the day I filled out the application, I was a black female and boom, I’m in every college with tuition covered. Sounds like a plan to me.
