I identify as an honest person and not a grifter. Therefore, you must accept me as an honest person and you must allow me to “invest” all of your money. I will surely double your investment in a year.

A big win but a damned shame it has reached the point that is what you have to do.

Simple solution to the “preferred pronoun” insanity:
Demand a blood test, XX=female / XY=male.

Ask anyone working in an HLA lab why it matters. Patient needs a kidney to survive. Checks off ‘female’ on all medical forms. Lab tech runs all possible donors and finds no match. Last minute phone call from dying patient’s doctor informing HLA lab that patient was born male and pleading to look for match. Too late, patient dies. Lab tech asks doctor: “Why didn’t you inform us earlier patient was male?” Doctor response: “I was afraid they would sue me and I would lose my license.”

Ha, ha- that is good. I personally self identify as a black female homosexual. Maybe I should add your qualifications as well. Being an honest, no-grifter, black, homosexual female would pretty much allow to do about everything without consequence. I'm kind of liking this "self-identification" business.

Maybe I should add a few inches to my height as well.

Most interesting is the description of the philosophy professor as evangelical Christian. Most folks I know in that discipline are atheist/agnostic.

I identify as a person who refuses to comply with the pronoun BS. Shut up and go away or enter level two of confrontational etiquette that I identify with.

The question is, who is paying the $400,000 compensation to the vindicated professor? If ultimately taxpayers and students (unconstitutional federal loans) are paying the compensation, then the state actors who actually abridged professor's right to religious expression remain undisciplined under the 14th Amendment (14A).

And if such is the case, then this arguably defeats one of the main purposes of that amendment, corrupt Congress unsurprisingly asleep at the wheel on this problem.

In fact, although referenced article mentions 14A, it doesn't mention the problem of state actors abridging constitutionally enumerated personal protections.

Corrections, insights welcome.

using pronouns is like telling a schizophrenic that you hear the voices, too

His religion is nobody’s damn business in this matter, though his lawyers used it as to justify his selection of pronouns and that he remained respectful at all times. Freedom of speech means freedom of thought, and vice versa. There is no religion litmus test in order to protect one’s 1A rights. IOW, would an agnostic or atheist professor not be entitled to 1st Amendment protection?

And you can see the author is infected with this crap using bad English to accommodate these self-centered radicals: “He offered to call the transgender student simply by their last name.” Sorry - either use “he” or “its”, and even the latter would be incorrect based on the facts of the story.

English is a dynamic language. These groomers need to go invent their own words and own pronouns and try to sell it to the rest of us. We should not let them hijack the language and change the meaning of words. Else we live in Alice in Wonderland, and it’s getting that way more and more as the givernment has taken sides to persecute normal people.

words he used.

Ben Shapiro once called a man seated next to him ‘sir’ and the man physically threatened him.

Yepp, these groomers are disrespecting your creed, culture and traditions - they are bullies for whom we need to pray.

Another victory for sanity against the Satanic trash university and transvestite systems.

So sick and tired of their unified evil against decent people.

Cincinnati.com reported that when they met after class, Meriwether said the student circled Meriwether threateningly and compared the professor’s refusal to use the student’s preferred pronouns to someone calling him a “c***.”

"It's MA'AM!"
