These people have waaaaaaay too much time. Talk about the idle rich. Man o man. Er, I mean, transqueer o transqueer.

“For me, ‘queer’ is a gender-neutral term with which I identify that also includes my Native American self-identification as being two-spirited in the context of a normative culture,” said sophomore Marlon Footracer, president of Querillas.

Can anyone explain to me what this person is talking about? Or is it all just postmodern gobbledegook, as I suspect?

[aShepard]

QUEER,

Kinda has a nice ring to it.

Notice that the founder doesn't even have the balls to come out of the closet and give his/her name.

"even the subtlest labeling of gender as good or bad disallows for safe and affirming spaces"

Not sure what that even means, but I am pretty sure that feminists are more guilty of it than anyone else. 'Course feminists are probably not the target here. But it would be funny if they were.

Universities sure seem to be centers of fools and idiocy these days.

safer and more welcoming for genderqueer (a term that relates to being neither ‘sharply’ male nor ‘sharply’ female) and trans folks

Can't they just use the term "It's Pat!" instead?

[wideawake]

Some examples are “What’s up? I’m straight,” “That’s so gay,” “Damn you faggot,” and “What’s up guys?”

Whew! I'm glad they pointed this out.

Mighty white of them.

“It looks like we have a long way to go in making people feel comfortable with others who challenge their traditional notions of gender,” the group’s founder said.

Well, by all means shove your concept of gender neutral on a society that is content with their current male/female identities. That'll work.

[Guillermo]

Yeah, the Homosexual lobby only wants to have privacy in their own bedrooms.

That's what they used to tell us, right?

[Fintan]

This perspective has been expressed by several academics, including Annamarie Jagose, a famous queer theorist.

Now, is this really what she (?) puts on her income tax return as "Occupation"????

“The purpose of unisex bathrooms is to both eliminate gender categories for people who do not fall into the strict male-female binary as well as to make the bathroom space safer and more welcoming for genderqueer (a term that relates to being neither ‘sharply’ male nor ‘sharply’ female) and trans folks,” the group’s founder said.

I guess the "handicap" toilets are considered too "insensitive" ...

“The purpose of our group, in my view, is to raise the consciousness of how even the subtlest labeling of gender as good or bad disallows for safe and affirming spaces which should be a priority of the University,” Footracer said. “Gender affects everone, queer or otherwise.”

Pretty much the textbook definition of navelgazing . . .

Impressive for a Stanford student...

The group hopes to explore a wide range of issues like queers of color, homophobia in communities of color at Stanford, transgender issues and diversity with respect to sexual orientation. Other interests range from domestic partnership rights to the rape of gays in prisons.

Militant college queers vs. militant college minorities. Should be interesting. Wonder if they'll sell tickets?

Also, is there such a thing as raping (as in nonconsentual sex) gays in prison? If late night Cinemax has taught me anything, I don't think I could be raped in a woman's prison.

How about 4 sets of bathrooms - men, women, queer men and queer women.

No, better make that 5 - transexuals deserve one, too.

Nope, 6 - male to female transexuals, and female to male each deserve their own.

No good, we have to have 8: Men, women, queer men, queer women; hetero male to female transexuals, queer male to female transexuals, hetero female to male, and queer female to male. How about personal toilets for each person, and bag the public stuff. At that rate, the whole campus will be a giant toilet (as if it isn't one now).

SHEEEEEIIIIIT! I am SOOOOO tired of these people. As Archie Bunker said, I liked them better IN the closet.

[headsonpikes]

Ummm..mark me down as 'sharply' male...

What a fatuous screed...it is to laugh...really!

These goofs are amazingly good auto-ironists, even if they're queer as a three dollar bill.;^)

THERE'S NO SUCH GENDER AS UNISEX.NEUTER MAYBE!

Revealing that the author goes to such lengths to make the word queer PC neutral and then uses the word homophobia without giving it a second thought or even an explanation of it's coinage (for political purposes) less than a generation ago.
