They link to this cope-filled abomination that tries to say “if DSD then sex spectrum” which is like saying “if a birth defect causes missing arm then limb spectrum”.

But this is the best bit.

Leibiger, who is non-binary, was absent from class that week but learned about the incident from classmates. When Leibiger arrived for the next class, on Sept. 14, they immediately brought up the discussion again.

“I asked [Hammer] how many sexes there were,” Leibiger said. “She said, ‘Two.’ I felt under personal attack.”

Leibiger then gathered their things and walked out of class because they no longer felt respected.

“I let her know I didn’t think she was qualified to teach a class about positive learning environments,” Leibiger said. “It’s the ultimate irony.”

After leaving class, Leibiger stopped in Bailey Hall’s lobby where all but one of their classmates joined them after the group also walked out of Hammer’s class.

The students then drafted a letter to the school of Education and Human Development, asking for a facilitated restorative justice meeting with their professor and the single student who agreed with her.

“We thought she was just speaking from a place of ignorance, not hate,” Leibiger said.

The non-binary snowflake wasn’t even in the class when the original discussion occurred, but appears to have dredged it up for drama a week later.

What happened to sex and gender not being the same thing? Ask about Sex you get a Sex answer.

Like most gender theory it was poorly developed and didn't have much in the way of concrete scientific evidence behind it. So like any self reported phenomenon it changes and morphs along with the popular cultural tides. The current idea seems to be that biological sex doesn't exist and that our current understanding of the binary is due to the oppressive plans of the patriarchy to keep women down, which is silly because if biological sex doesn't exist then the concept of patriarchy falls apart as well. For the most part this sort of thing is a bunch of cheap gotchas and maliciously applied double standards, you can play the same game with them if you want but they'll cry foul.

It's a classic bullying move, you get in some kids face and call them names until they snap and call you names back or hit you, then you pretend to be offended and go cry to the teacher so that kid you were bullying gets in trouble.

Sex is the thing that actually matters too lol. Like I'm not going to get testicular cancer. A man isn't going to get cervical cancer. Even things like heart attacks present differently and it's important to know the differences.

They do make me laugh when they use intersex to 'prove' sex is a spectrum. No, it's a medical condition. Pretty horrible too with all the health issues that come with it. Like we don't say arms are a spectrum because people can be born with anything between 0 and 4 because there have been people born like that. We at least acknowledge that that is just a defect. Sucks for the intersex though to have them basically fetishize you and use you to prop up their ideology when they probably would prefer being normal and not having health issues.
