Just imagine if almost all of the decision makers and colleagues at your university didn't indulge this nonsense for years on end, leading to the insane narcissism you are now dealing with from this student who just wants to feel special. But they did, b/c to do otherwise is behavior only exhibited by ignorant bigoted troglodytes, not the enlightened geniuses who populate academia. They are better than those uneducated hicks twangin' on their banjos who are clearly incapable of understanding the vast spectrum of human gender identity and all that that encompasses.

Just imagine if the people in charge of education didn't have their heads stuck so far up their own asses how much better campus life would be these days.
