Ugh, I mean just...UGH!!!

Football is played by a group of guys called teams. In football, the offense tries to score touchdowns by running or passing, while the defense tries to stop them. Occasionally a player—who looks unlike the other players in size—comes out and kicks the ball.

Apparently liberty has a group of guys who play football.

Sounds pretty simple.

But what do they think about the division of cells during the m phase? Shouldn't we examine if they believe in the correct number of pronouns before we decide to play them in football?

As long as they have 11 able bodies to line up on the other side of the pig skin, I don’t care what sex organs or chromosomes or gender or gender identity, etc they have or believe in. They can believe in Alla, Mohammad, Jesus, Cupid, Easter Bunny, Kermit the Frog, etc.

Let’s play football.

I can obviously speak for myself, thanks.

I don't have a clue what he means by "teaching more than two genders." Biologically speaking, no matter how you want to measure gender, not everyone fits neatly into two male and female boxes. Some people have both parts down there. Some people have female parts but male levels of testosterone. Some people have "male" chromosomes and "female" chromosomes.

So I'm honestly not sure what he means by that, because technically it is correct to say there are more than two possible genders.

I had no idea y'all were so interested in biology.

Sorry, Science says Sex chromosomes do not change over the course of medical transition for a transgender person. Male and Female chromosomes do not change, they will always remain the same in a human's body. If a person is born with both, you will still have a prominent chromosomes that identifies the actual sex. Changing how one identities sexually doesn't change science. So no, Science doesn't say it is technically correct to say there are more than two genders period.

Just to be clear, Science supports man caused climate change period. No debate needed. Science supports only two sexes exist in Humans, that has never changed. I'm not sure because a person can have both.

Okay, I got it!

But can they kneel for the National Anthem?

Every football player and fan knows you only kneel when the clock is winding down. ;:

Maybe dozens isn't right.

From this university, found with a 5 second google search, I suppose we could extrapolate an infinite amount....considering I get to assign it to myself.

This seems to be a paper talking about best practices when dealing with gender identity issues.

I don't think it says anything about teaching students that there are more than two genders.

Look, I've gone way farther with this than I ever intended to. I'm just going to say that there are a lot of people who make their living over-dramatizing stories to create controversy on cable media shows and on the internet. They have learned that stoking controversy and anger is what really drives people to watch their shows. I feel like you may have learned about this particular issue from watching one of those types of shows.

Ideally, students leave school with the ability to think, not just blindly follow the pack. Ideally, they learn that others have their own ideas and they can discuss those ideas without being called libtard, GOPazi, snowflake, etc. Ideally, they leave understanding that if your argument begins with denigration, you've already lost. Ideally, they graduate equipped to make the world a better place than the one they entered, for everyone. Ideally.

That really sounds good, 4U. Having said "Ideally..." to open every sentence (and close the post) is akin to starting a sentence with "To tell the truth..."... and we all know to be skeptical of what usually follows.

Do I believe U.S. colleges and universities believe this is what they do... or attempt to do? Yes. But what they actually do is separate young minds from the traditional packs they were exposed to... and guide them toward packs that academia believes societal packs belong.

That said... I have not witnessed the benefits of this process called "critical thinking". I've seen less and less of an ability in young graduates to think critically. In fact, for you to state that part of the institutional education process is to remove denigrating others, I see quite the opposite. Polarization and divisiveness are at an all time high. And it appears the incubator is the public education system. The adults in that system are responsible. You could couple that with the collapse in American family culture... but due to the fact when those facts are explored openly... academia denies it... so that ultimately makes them responsible for the entire failed status.

Bless you as well.

So about those wackadoodle's that don't believe in science?

No! Unless they're wearing a t-shirt that says, "Jesus had a pet Triceratops". Those guys can kneel.
