    Her claims are written if you bothered to click on the link and read.. No he did not lie there is only two genders.. You might have heard of them them.. Male and Female. So speaking the truth triggered this "Professor" to the point that he/she/it had to silence a different voice. Quite funny you find the need to constantly slander the man when he spoke when the class was asked to.

    Yes what the school claims he did is written to him on the letters sent to him. He is dishonest in saying why he was tossed out of class, and he is dishonest about the science behind gender even though you seem to also be ignorant of scientific terminology and the use of words. It is nice that you want to have your own definitions and just make things up as you wish they were but that is not how things are recognized in school which is why he ran into trouble.

    FYI it does not happen that you just get to spout out the sun is made of cheese and that becomes something that is mentioned in science class or even this class. You have to go through some steps to offer up some form of explanation and hypothesis that can be tested before we are going to toss out what we know and have learned because you had a thought, or some other right wing blogger had a thought. In order to change scientific definitions you need to do more than play pretend and pull things out of your imagination. It would be quite difficult if every time some little snowflake had a thought we had to regard it as having the same weight as years of research and evidence that contradicts it. This is why we have standards at college that go beyond my imaginary deity saying things are so. Science is free for anyone to participate in proper scientific method, even religions. However if you want to have your own rules and definitions that may not correspond to what we know we cannot recognise them over the standards of evidence and knowledge that have been established.

    When you stop applauding your pretend moral superiority and brilliance you might read.
    Either of the two sexes (male and female), especially when considered with reference to social and cultural differences rather than biological ones. The term is also used more broadly to denote a range of identities that do not correspond to established ideas of male and female.

    Simple enough.. You also do not mention the issue of the "Professor" proclaiming that "male privilege" is factual... So a Feminist that asks only women what they think that has men in the classroom is not exactly unbiased specially when she threw a fit when a man had the audacity to speak.

    Nope, that's how your portrayed it. You brought up white male heteros as being not like the top dog. Not I.

    Gender
    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Gender symbols intertwined. The red (left) is the female Venus symbol. The blue (right) represents the male Mars symbol.
    Gender is the range of characteristics pertaining to, and differentiating between, masculinity and femininity. Depending on the context, these characteristics may include biological sex (i.e., the state of being male, female, or an intersex variation), sex-based social structures (i.e., gender roles), or gender identity.[1][2][3] People who do not identify as men or women or with masculine or feminine gender pronouns are often grouped under the umbrella terms non-binary or genderqueer. Some cultures have specific gender roles that are distinct from "man" and "woman," such as the hijras of South Asia. These are often referred to as third genders.

    Sexologist John Money introduced the terminological distinction between biological sex and gender as a role in 1955. Before his work, it was uncommon to use the word gender to refer to anything but grammatical categories.[1][2] However, Money's meaning of the word did not become widespread until the 1970s, when feminist theory embraced the concept of a distinction between biological sex and the social construct of gender. Today the distinction is strictly followed in some contexts, especially the social sciences[4][5] and documents written by the World Health Organization(WHO).[3]

    To those with the capability of understanding there are 2 sexes, male and female, and then a mix of those sexes, hermaphrodites, that there are many more genders than 2.
    Binary thinkers can only see things in binary, which is why they can't grasp there is more than 2 genders.

    Yes you are free to have your opinion. We share that same right.

    But please remember that is all they are, opinions.

    Sadly, to many people who may not share, or understand, those opinions, a reign of hurt will come down on them if they make the mistake of not abiding by them.

    People should be concerned about what that very slippery slope represents.

    IMO, a reign of hurt should never come down on one, I don't advocate violence.
    But will use it if threatened.
    Yes, there are some idiot groups out there. On both sides of the spectrum.

    I never portrayed it as such, and you know that. I was paraphrasing the Scientific American article which I quoted. And what I said was:
    So you take this statement, which is simply a defense by myself and Scientific American of the scientific method itself, and twist it into "white male heteros as being not like the top dog." I have a hard time believing that your reading comprehension could be that bad, so I must conclude that, after exhausting every weak ass objection you could think of (and being met with facts which refute those objections), you decided on the ultimate postmodern fallback position: the Ad Hominem. You simply have made up your mind in advance to brush off any reason and evidence that I bring, so I can see that it is pointless to continue this conversation, as you are not acting in good faith.
