Does telling trans people they're still a man or still a woman get your rocks off or something? Why is this an article you give two shits about? An adjunct teacher teaches a lesson from 50 years ago to people who aren't transitioning isn't news.
Who said anything about telling them? The article is about a teacher fired for teaching accurate biology.
I'm glad God rubber stamped it as "accurate"
What does God have to do with it? God was never discussed in the classroom.
Did you read the article?
Of course not, it's fox news spewing anti-LGBTQ bullshit. I don't hate myself.
Good for you? You didn't read the article because it's about a wrongful termination claim. If you don't find the topic interesting then move on. If you do find the topic interesting, read the article and make a coherent statement.
Every article you post is down voted to hell and back with no meaningful discussion. Your world view is shit. Your ideas are not welcome to anyone but the most echoing of chambers. You mod a community who's most up voted posts call you out for the losers you are. I'm extremely interested in your world view returning to the gutter it came from.
So you think it is acceptable for a biology teacher to be terminated for teaching facts in the classroom? This explains why we have liberals serving me coffee at Starbucks when they claim to have biology degrees.
If you think facts are scary, that is your problem and not a problem of the community.
That is literally not what happened.
That’s exactly what happened.
It's not, the dude is defended himself by doubling down on transphobic BS that he was alleged to say. He literally admitted it.
But you just want more culture war BS to validate your bigotry. You claim to want scientific accuracy, but since you yourself clearly don't understand the science yourself it's hard to take that very serious.
I understand the science well.
So you think saying sex is determined by x and y is transphobic? It’s basically biology.
He did not admit it. He said he never spoke to his students about his personal opinions. He stayed that he said in biology sex is determined by x and y which is true.
You seem to be denying sex is not based on genetics. That is false.
That is not what I'm saying. That is the culture war line you want me to be saying so you can say I'm denying facts, science and truth. Chromosomes absolutely determine sex characteristics for most people, there are many many exceptions, but none that really apply to trans folk.
But that has nothing at all to do with his alleged class room statements, and then confirmed with his letter saying no one should transition and that sterilizing yourself is wrong according to his faith. That is blatant transphobia.
Tell me friend, how often do you swab your friends and grab a petri dish to check their chromosomes before dressing mister or misses? Fucking never right? Chromosomes mean nothing in our day to day world and our concept of gender, sex and identity are more complicated than what a lab test can show. You are hiding behind chromosomes so you can ignore his obvious transphobia.
You are being selectively naive so you can say feign outrage "libs hate science! Facts over feels!". It's extremely bad faith.
It still applies to trans people. They don't get to ignore science. For the large majority of the population, you are XX and XY. It's just the way it works in biology.
No, that is his opinion. I don't agree with him, as I clearly stated, but it is not transphobia. Even if it was, that is protected speech under the law. It isn't illegal to be transphobic. According to the article, this was never discussed in the classroom.
You can just tell by looking or listening. Hasn't failed me in 50 years.
Bad faith, through and through
Keep telling me what's facts and what's not. 🍿
Do you disagree that in biology sex is determined by X and Y Chromosomes? I would love to see a citation otherwise as that is pretty undisputed biology.
I bet your favorite flavor of crayon isn't even a rare color.

"The slowly increasing understanding and acceptance of intersex people exemplifies how scientists and society still have a lot to learn about biological sex and the ways sex determination occurs in humans. Though biologists have an understanding that chromosome combinations influence the biological sex that an embryo develops as, biologists still know very little about the specific genes and mechanisms that control the sexual development pathway. Additionally, there are many factors beyond chromosomes that influence the sexual characteristics a person develops, and scientists are continually uncovering more intricacies in the development process. Finally, the events that lead to atypical sexual development have to be further explored."
Fuck you.

Warning. Violation of Rule #1.
Your post was 100% until that very, very last line.
That doesn't disprove what was stated. It proves what I stated.
From you cite
Humans who inherit two X chromosomes typically develop as females, while humans with one X and one Y chromosome typically develop as males. That is what triggers the male or female. That is why we are a binary species. Intersex is a deviance in the development.
Other variances are viewed as deviant.
https://www.britannica.com/science/sex-chromosome
The sex chromosomes of human beings and other mammals are designated by scientists as X and Y.
That is what you would be taught in any biology course.
Sounds like somebody is scared of facts they don't like
I'm not here because I might be convinced. I'm here to laugh at the mentally handicapped. Thank you for your time.
I know you are and that is why I am trying to educate you.
X and Y is what determines sex and is taught in biology. Don't be scared of science. It is just how the world works.
Good luck with the beyond dead community. It already seems like more than you can handle.
