The University of Cincinnati has reprimanded a faculty member at the center of a TikTok controversy related to gender, free speech and trans rights.
The reprimand directs adjunct instructor Melanie Nipper to complete training about UC’s free speech policy and submit her syllabi for the coming school year to her department head.
“Please note that this is to be considered a formal reprimand for your actions,” the June 14 document obtained by The Enquirer reads. “A copy of this letter will be placed in your permanent records.” In May, Nipper gave student Olivia Krolczyk 0/20 points for part of a final project in a class called Gender in Popular Culture for using the term “biological women” to describe non-trans female athletes. Krolczyk expressed her displeasure in a TikTok video that went viral; Nipper later confirmed the events in an interview with The Enquirer.

Hadn’t you heard?
Only “Trans people” have rights.
The rest of us are here to worship them.
Leftist privilege. Conservative adjunct professors would have been summarily dismissed.
The student
We now know who are our true masters. It’s the trans people who we must worship and never criticize. They dictate what we say and think, and control hiring and firing decisions.
She’s not a biologist.
“Only “Trans people” have rights.
The rest of us are here to worship them.”
It’s the opposite in this case.
Unless I’m hallucinating, this actually is a rare act of sanity for a university.
The person that is being reprimanded is the teacher who punished a student for using the term “biological women”.
Pigs do fly after all!!
Worse, in the rapidly declining leftist Michigan, my state, is the bill passed to put offenders in prison for 5 years an pay up to a $10,000 fine for even accidentally blurting out the unaccepted pronoun. Bad news.

You’re right.
So used to the insanity I just presumed this was more of the same.
Now they hate and ban me, the quintessential Biological Woman ???
“So used to the insanity I just presumed this was more of the same.”
I know what you mean!
think I will start calling people “el senior” and “seniora/seniorita” and dare them to violate my cultural rights. (I only temporarily identify as hispano-american but that wouldn’t affect my human rights to choose for myself, regardless of my place of birth, home language, or Polish/Russian/Highlander/Irish/Gaelic/Norman heritage, hmmm?)
[Olivia Krolczyk] == [a big win for biology]

Uh, you have only the rights granted to you by the woke Left.
Old idea was God given rights were given to all equally——some people remember that, especially here. We believe the rights are already ours to be protected by the Constitution, Bill of Rights, laws and so on. Quaint sounding to woke types.
Why is he dressed in women's clothes?
The student
She's a cutie.
Also not a biological woman by the looks of the thing.
The original plumbing of the baby determines its sex. It is that simple. You can shoot them full of hormones, disfigure them with surgery, and tell them a she is a he and a he is a she. A blood sample will say xx of xy as reflects their birth.
The question that is not asked of a statistical valid sample is how many regret their decision to take hormones and or surgery. How many commit suicide, how many are in psychological therapy, how many were coerced into this decision at an early age when they had not the mental maturity to make these decisions that can not be reversed.
What???
