Transgender researchers suffer from ‘traumatic harm’ when STEM students mock survey questions in their answers

 Eric Utter; American Thinker   . . ."Apparently, some students did not take the survey as

seriously as the gender researchers did, and have therefore drawn the ire of the intrepid, if
humorless, investigators. Of the 349 completed responses, 50 were of a mocking variety, and deemed “malicious” by the scientists -- who said they included “slurs, hate speech, or direct targeting of the research team.”

"Fully 12 percent of the “malicious” respondents identified their gender as an "Apache attack helicopter" (or similar aircraft), an apparent reference to a long-running meme meant to make light of individuals identifying as a broad range of “genders.”

"One student had the sheer audacity to write:

“I believe that is what is wrong with higher education. Students should be taught to focus on their chosen field and not their gender.”

"Students should be instructed in their chosen field, the one they are paying through the nose for, instead of being subjected to a radical social agenda? Egads!

"Another respondent wrote, “While I of course do not condone bullying or discrimination, I wish people in universities (especially the faculty) would not focus so much on gender and identity. That doesn’t matter.” Telling the faculty that’s supposed to be serving you that gender isn’t important to you, but being educated in your field is? The temerity! Hitler alert, Hitler alert!" . . .

That last comment turned out to be prescient: the OSU response turned out to be an accusation of fascism. We look for wisdom in the proper places and find only politically-driven silliness. TD
