What They Learn in College: UC Berkeley students answer ‘how many genders are there?’ in viral video
Christian Post ^ | 11/13/2019 | Michael Gryboski

A popular conservative YouTube channel has posted a widely watched video featuring students at the University of California, Berkeley answering how many genders they believe exist.

Will Witt of PragerU recently visited the UC Berkeley campus and asked multiple students on camera questions about how many genders there are and if it was OK for men to use the same bathrooms and locker rooms as women.

“Infinite,” answered the first student in the video, adding that she believed “you can’t put things in boundaries. You can define yourself as whatever you want.”

Other students responded by saying there was “a spectrum of genders,” “five, six, maybe,” “I could not tell you,” and “like 72-plus or something.”

While many of the respondents struggled to name genders other than male and female, the student who said around 72 provided several terms.

“Third gender, cisgender, agender, ciswoman, cisman, and nonbinary/other,” she replied, admitting that she could not name all 72 genders that she believed existed.

Witt asked one student if she believed that a man who identifies as a woman should be allowed to use the women’s restroom.

“Yeah,” she immediately replied, later agreeing with the statement that someone can be considered a woman even if they have a penis.

Witt asked another student if he thought men who identify as women can use a women’s locker room, he responded that that would be OK, provided the women present were also OK with it.

“If they’re not comfortable with it, they might be a little transphobic,” Witt said, the video cutting away from the student as he hesitated to respond to the sarcastic critique.

Posted to YouTube on Nov. 6, as of Wednesday morning, the video has garnered over 550,500 views.

In 2016, UC Berkeley announced that “gender-inclusive restrooms” were going to be “part of all new campus buildings as well as significant renovation projects.”

“More than 40 campus buildings now have gender-inclusive restrooms, and more are on the way,” stated Berkeley’s Public Affairs department at the time.

“Conversion of single-occupant restrooms from gender-specific to gender-inclusive has been actively underway for more than a year, spurred on by a system wide policy change announced by the UC Office of the President in June 2015.”

Last year, a UC Berkeley student senator faced demands that she resign from student government because she refused to vote for a resolution denouncing the Trump administration's proposed rule on Title IX clarifying that gender is a biological identity determined at birth.

They can name all these genders, but nobody knows what the hell they are. I dare them to try to explain the differences between them because the only difference is the type of mental illness they have.

The asian students in the physics and biochem departments are getting an education while the whites are choosing careers in bullshit.

English and Latin and German have 3 genders: male, female, and neuter. As it was in the beginning...

Yep - and neuter is for things that aren’t alive which effectively makes it’s meaning “no gender” except for linguistic purposes.
I can define myself as the alpha-male neutron star that resides in the center of the earth - it doesn’t exist and that is no different than those with the delusions they can be any of a number of nonexistent genders...it’s a mental delusion and illness to think like they do.

Two sexes. Genders are for Spanish nouns.

If you want to be left alone by the PC police, that’s probably the only correct answer. Because if you answer with a number, you might be asked to list them all. And you’re bound to miss one or two. Then all hell would break loose.

By the way, New York City recognizes 31 genders. The complete list is here:

Every Democratic candidate should be able to identify all thirty one with a definition.

If they want to be crazy, they should at least be competent at it.

I remember when men wanted women, and women wanted men.

Oh for the day when Peggy Lee sang “Hey Cisgender”.

XX, XY, smattering of XXY, XYY, X0, XXX,
and various rare combinations and hermaphrodites
All other designations are mental constructs,
like me self labeling as a pomegranate

Are you Pomegranatiphobic?

The term "gender" should be confined to linguistics.

Listen, feminists, a few women get raped in the gender-neutral bathroom is just the price you have to pay for the Brave New World that you asked for!
