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.

Mush brains corrupted by propaganda. No boundaries ay? They should test the boundaries with a side experiment. Try putting diesel fuel in their gasoline powered vehicles. Or more up their alley try smoking dried poison ivy leaves and expect the same high as marijuana. Utter morons who deny science and biology principles. Fools really.

Thank you for the link. I would like to list them here for everyone’s entertainment.

31 Genders – New York City 2016

According to the NYC Commission on Human Rights, “it’s illegal to discriminate on the basis of gender identity and gender expression in the workplace, in public spaces and in housing” and businesses who violate this new law can be subject to a fine of up to $250,000.00.

So, here’s the list:

Bi-gendered

Cross-Dresser

Drag Queen

Drag King

Femme Queen

Female-to-Male

FTM

Gender Bender

Pangender

Transexual/Transsexual

Trans Person

Woman

Man

Butch

Two-Spirit

Trans

Agender

Third Sex

Gender Fluid

Non-Binary Transgender

Androgyne

Gender Gifted

Gender Blender

Femme

Person of Transgender Experience

Androgynous

“Gender identity” is described as one’s internal, deeply-held sense of one’s gender as male, female, or something else entirety. Gender is expressed through one’s name, pronouns, clothing, haircut, behavior, voice, or body characteristics.

In most western languages that employ a concept of gender, there are three genders.

In human anatomy and physiology, there are two sexes.

I thought gender just meant what kind of things one likes to jam in their sewer pipe and what color panties they wear

By the way, New York City recognizes 31 genders....

Another reason to hate NYC.

DeBlasio and Bloomberg are higher. ((Bloomberg: Wow. That's the first time I was higher than anything.)) Bloomberg is 5ft 4 inches "tall."

How many SEXES are there ? Is the correct question

Two sexes, just like there always have been, and always will be.

Genders? Also two. Their usage depends on which of the two sexes is associated with them in the writing.

I am very upset. That list does not include my gender. So I’m gonna sue NYC. I proudly self-identify as a “male lesbian”. I made that choice based on this joke:

A dumb guy is sitting at a bar. Across from him a lone woman is drinking.

Guy: Bartender, send that woman a drink from me.
Bartender: Don’t bother, pal. She’s a lesbian.

Guy: Huh? What’s a lesbian?
Bartender: Go ask her yourself.

So the guy walks over to the woman.

Guy: I’m told that you are a lesbian. I’ve never heard of that. What’s a lesbian?
Woman: Well, I like everything about women. Their curves, their soft skin, their silky voices.

The guy then walks back to his seat.

Bartender: What did you learn there?
Guy: Evidently, I am a lesbian.

In binary, there are 10 genders. In non-binary, there are 2.

Amebas, spores and bacteria are agender.

Hermaphordite worms are bigender.

Paramecia are gender fluid.

In languages with grammatical genders, animate beings sometimes have neuter gender, for example the word teknon (child) in Greek, or Weib (wife) in German. In German all diminutives are neuter.

If we can be whatever we identify as then I choose to identify as the Queen of England and to live the rest of my life on the British taxpayer’s dime. Hey, why are the Buckingham Palace guards saying, “Clap this loony Yank in irons”?
