Academic union allows members to self-identify as black, disabled, or opposite sex

A union in Britain that represents academics has declared its commitment to allowing members to "self-identify" not only as being of the opposite sex, but also as black or disabled.

The Edinburgh branch of the U.K.-wide University and College Union said on Twitter it strongly supports "trans inclusion," the Times of London reported.

"Liberation cannot be built on exclusion," the tweet said.

The tweet contained a link to a policy endorsed by the union that states: "UCU has a long history of enabling members to self-identify, whether that is being black, disabled, LGBT+ or women."

TRENDING: Woman who survived Maoist China speaks out on schools in America in 2021 That apparently means the union accept white people who "appropriate" the look and culture of black people, as did Rachel Dolezal, who stepped down as director of a local NAACP chapter after it was discovered she was a white person posing as a black person. And it affirms able-bodied people who considered themselves "transabled" and in some instances seek to have a limb amputated, be paralyzed or become blind or deaf, as a Canadian professor explained to WND.

The UCU policy explains that it "supports a social, rather than a medical, model of gender recognition that will help challenge repressive gender stereotypes in the workplace and in society."

A staff member at Edinburgh University told the Times the union branch "is being used as a platform for an ideological crusade, with no resistance from University of Edinburgh management."

The union affirms it supports an "intersectional approach within all its work."

“ Liberation cannot be built on exclusion,” the tweet said.”

No but to function in society, you must live in reality.

Let’s just see how many white liberals “identify” as black and the totally laughable reaction from the BLM brigade.

I am offended by this, mainly because I was planning to self-identify as the chancellor of the University of Edinburgh. And evidently that kind of self-identification not covered in the commitment.

Heck, I even bought a shirt for my inauguration.

Is this mental illness or intellectual dishonesty or both? The UK needs much higher standards for its instructors,. So does the United States as well.

Some level of exclusion of the perverted, the deranged and the corrupt is necessary for a society to properly function.

For example: “Ask, Tell” rocked to keep homosexuals out of positions of Trust.

Just don’t expect the perverted, the deranged and the corrupt to agree with that assessment.

this is good. It’s the most ridiculous example of reality denial any of us could imagine.

it won’t take long before the idiocy becomes apparent, everyone becomes a minority such that no one is a minority.

I’d like to go down to the Seattle Times and say, “I identify as the editor and publisher. I demand an office.”

I miss my puppy when I leave for work in the morning. I want to stay home like my puppy. I’m now identifying as a dog.

I identify as vaccinated yet my schools will not accept that.

i feel that I am being oppressed and discriminated against but they don’t care.

But then literally everyone would then be free to identify as a minority!

And that minority would then cease to be a minority!

And if everyone identifies as a member of some minority or disabled class...

What was it that the bad guy "Syndrome" from "The Incredibles" said?

...and when everyone is super special - no one will be!

Regards,
