Defend Biological Sex … Go Down as Transphobic … It Would be a Joke if They Did Not Rule the Roost! By James Reed
Mrs Vera West was going to write this one, but has come down with the mother of all migraines, so I will do it instead.
These sorts of stories are becoming less frequent; that of academics defending the idea that there are two sexes, something the New World Order regime denies, seeing that sex is a social construct. Less frequent because the universities are quickly culling out any opposition to its ideologies.
Yes, but they resist the application of this postmodern argument to Covid, which is surely more of a social construct than even sex, supposedly. The Covid bug is likely to have been lab created, making it, even if real, an evil cultural product. As well, it serves a vital role in enforcing totalitarianism, as the West morphs into a montrous mutant of itself, shedding liberal democracy and inconvenient notions such as liberty, and instead moves into the social model of communist China. It was what was behind the Asianisation ideology that the elites championed after they used multiculturalism to destroy Anglo-Australia. The agenda has always been about communism.
“In the right corner: a Harvard professor, author of a book about testosterone, and an advocate of the idea of two biological sexes. In the left corner: the director of the Diversity and Inclusion Task Force at Harvard's Department of Human Evolutionary Biology, suggesting that such beliefs are "transphobic". Fight!
On Wednesday, Harvard lecturer Carole Hooven appeared on "Fox & Friends", defending the use of terms "pregnant women" and "male and female", after which she discovered herself in the crosshairs of a colleague, Harvard's Diversity Director Laura Simone Lewis, who called her remarks "transphobic and harmful".
In her Fox appearance, Hooven said: "The ideology seems to be that biology really isn't as important as how somebody feels about themselves, or feels their sex to be. The facts are that there are in fact two sexes — there are male and female — and those sexes are designated by the kind of gametes we produce".
Her argument sparked ire from Lewis, who tweeted that she was "appalled" by the statements, rolling out a thread about how cisgender women are not the only ones able to get pregnant and arguing that it is "vital to teach med students gender-inclusive language", since they may encounter patients "outside the gender binary".
"I respect Carole as a colleague & scientist. But this dangerous language perpetuates a system of discrimination against non-cis people within the med system. It directly opposes our Task Force work that aims to create a safe space for scholars of ALL gender identities and sexes", Lewis noted.
Hooven responded to the criticism, thanking Lewis for her concern and suggesting that they have a discussion.
"I appreciate your concerns. Could you let me (and the Twitterverse) know exactly what I said that you consider transphobic or harmful to undergrads? I think you know that I care deeply about all of my students, and I also care about science. How about a discussion?", Hooven tweeted on 30 July.
Both sides of the argument have support and criticism, as some express solidarity with Lewis, arguing that the number of biological sexes (not genders) is "wee more complicated"...
...and others were left wondering what exactly about Hooven's words was "transphobic" and "harmful".
Lewis has not yet responded to Hooven's invitation for a discussion, re-tweeting a post from a user who slammed the Harvard professor for quote-tweeting.
"Also, it's absolutely awful for her to quote tweet this, fully knowing her followers would back her up by attacking Laura (a grad student!), and then disengage saying, 'oh let's take this offline.' If you actually care about student well-being you *do not* do this", the re-tweeted post said.
Hooven is lecturing at Harvard on hormones and is a co-director of the university's undergraduate programme. She is also the author of the book "T: The Story of Testosterone". Lewis is a Ph.D. candidate at Harvard and the director of the Diversity and Inclusion Task Force at Harvard's Department of Human Evolutionary Biology.”
One of the very best things about impending civilizational collapse is that the universities will certainly be destroyed. It is something.
