The Oxford Sin of “Misgendering” By Richard Miller (London)

This is what an advanced stage of Leftist psychosis looks like. Oxford University's Regent's Park College, recently released a policy statement on the crime of “misgendering,” a "Trans Inclusion Statement." The new policy explains that it is considered bullying or harassment to "misgender" transgender or non-binary-identifying individuals by referring to them by their birth name or biological pronouns. "Transphobic harassment or bullying" is against the school's policy and the U.K.'s Equality Act of 2010, an anti-discrimination law that protects individuals from unlawful treatment based on age, sex, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, and religious beliefs.

"Any unlawful discriminatory behaviour, including transphobic harassment or bullying of by individuals or groups, will be regarded extremely seriously and could be grounds for disciplinary action, which may include expulsion or dismissal," the statement continues. "Such behaviour will be dealt with under the College's Policy on Harassment and Bullying and within the relevant legislation The Equality Act 2010."

From what I understand, this misgendering need not be deliberate, and could arise purely from common ignorance, since someone could be a biological male on Monday, decide to be female on Tuesday, then be both male and female on Wednesday, and on Thursday, nothing at all. The back to being male on Friday.  A fellow student could get the days wrong and be sent off to the Tower of London for execution. No, not yet.

It all started with the universities.

“Oxford University's Regent's Park College recently released a statement explaining the school's new disciplinary action policy for students accused of "misgendering" their peers, Fox News Digital reported.

Regent's Park College, which specializes in the Arts and Humanities, is one of 44 colleges within Oxford University.

On Thursday, the school published a "Trans Inclusion Statement." The new policy explains that it is considered bullying or harassment to "misgender" transgender or non-binary-identifying individuals by referring to them by their birth name or biological pronouns.

"Regent's Park College recognises that there can be differences between assigned sex and gender identity expression," the school's statement reads. "Where this statement refers to 'trans people', it has in mind people living with any of these identities. When it refers to 'gender identity', it covers the genders (fixed or fluid) of those who do and do not identify with the sex of their birth."

"Transphobic harassment or bullying" is against the school's policy and the U.K.'s Equality Act of 2010, an anti-discrimination law that protects individuals from unlawful treatment based on age, sex, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, and religious beliefs.

"Any unlawful discriminatory behaviour, including transphobic harassment or bullying of by individuals or groups, will be regarded extremely seriously and could be grounds for disciplinary action, which may include expulsion or dismissal," the statement continues. "Such behaviour will be dealt with under the College's Policy on Harassment and Bullying and within the relevant legislation The Equality Act 2010."
