A Harvard professor of evolutionary biology has been slammed by her department's diversity head for rejecting the term 'pregnant people' and insisting on referring to people as male or female instead.
Carole Hooven, who has been at the university for 20 years and received multiple teaching awards, spoke of feeling 'frustrated' at the atmosphere in academia.
She told Fox News on Wednesday that she was dismayed at the insistence on politically correct terminology, which she felt was misguided.
University professors were discouraged from using the words male and female, and referring to pregnant women, she said. The terms were deemed offensive to the transgender and LGBTQ community.
'I've been feeling pretty frustrated over the last five years or so. It's been gradual,' she said.

I guy who thinks that his grandfather was an ape has a problem defining people? Who knew?
It’s the ultimate expression of relativism. There is no objective reality. Things don’t have a nature - anything is what you say it is and everyone has to be forced to agree with you. If you say 1+1=3 today and tomorrow you say 1+1=5, everyone has to agree with you (if you are one of the approved “identities, of people). It’s to get everyone conditioned for totalitarianism - whatever the Party decrees you automatically believe.
It’s to make people so they simply cannot think on their own. The Party tells them anything and they accept it without a thought. People have been conditioned not to think, not so much to be afraid to think, more that the very capacity to think has been extinguished. There is only the divine will of the Party and the Party’s rightthink and rightspeak.
We simply live in a clown world today.
Cancel culture agenda:
1. Cancel biological female women from existence and replace them with biological male men.
2. Cancel biological male men from existence and replace them with biological female women.
3. Cancel factual history and replace factual history with whatever works to promote the cancel culture agenda.
4. Many more cancellations are in the works....
Well I accuse her (oh there I go again) accusers of being insane…
They will make her life miserable and then fire her.
I think the end game is ‘child consensual sex’ with adult pedos. Don’t think it could happen?
“The terms were deemed offensive to the transgender and LGBTQ community.”
Gee, that’s funny. The transgender and LGBTQ community are offensive to me.
A society which degrades to the level you describe is not sustainable. The society will collapse eventually.
objective factual truth (male DNA) + objective truth (male DNA = male sex) = objectively true male
Watch dem words
It is a pretty creepy “word”.
Stalinism collapsed after Stalin died - the system went from being run by fanatics to being run by technocrats. The system was still bad but less blood-thirsty, less crazy.
Maybe the Deep State wants a period of hair-on-fire craziness that will burn through every institution, and then Soros’ technocrats will set up something like Brezhnev’s Russia (Bernie Sanders fondly remembers it), or more likely the system they have in China - communism plus corporatism. It will be interesting to see what they do with the LGBTQWERTY crowd once they have outlived their usefulness.
transphobia, the new catch all for simple freak intolerance, they can’t stop feeling unappreciated by the normals and can’t stand it.
Mine was very conservative. The staff photos and the lib courses would now rival Berkeley.
Where does a baby pop out of a XY?
Let's see. A phobia is a fear. 'Transphobia' is a fear of crossing or spanning something. So attending Ivy League institutions make you dumber instead of smarter?
This is childish nonsense.
The left like to refer to conservatives as “science deniers” when it fits their agenda. Seems they deny the most obvious science.
“Director of the Diversity and Inclusion Task Force” = non-productive, divisive, useless to society, excuse making for losers pile of BS.
