University of Southern Maine graduate students walked out of class this month and are demanding officials replace their professor over her remarks. Christy Hammer, a professor of education, allegedly said only two biological sexes exist during a 'Creating a Positive Learning Environment' class. The discussion began during a September 7 class but was revisited on the 14th It saw 21 out of 22 students walk out and the professor refusing to backtrack.The university has now suggested that an 'alternative' section for the class be created but is not planning on removing its professor.
Christy Hammer allegedly made the statement during a heated debate about gender identity in her 'Creating a Positive Learning Environment' class, causing an uproar among the graduate students.Only one student agreed with the educator. The rest maintained both biological sexes and social genders are on a spectrum.

It’s astonishing that there are so many people living in an alternate reality.
The question of how many biological sexes there are was unheard of 20 years ago.
What was it that drove them into this fantasy?
What was the trigger that made them deny the obvious, factual reality?

Yeah, but those two genders can come in different combinations. Sometimes people, or animals, have both genders. Fully developed. They're called hermaphrodites. Sometimes they're not fully developed, or one is full, one is partial. Sometimes they are just born with the wrong set of tools. Sometimes they have the genes for both genders.
Sometimes people get born with two heads, or four arms. Nature is weird and gets its wiring crossed sometimes.
It's ok to accept that. It doesn't cause you any injury. And it's not offensive, it's just nature.
If someone is offended by something that simply occurs in nature, the problem is with them.

I am starting to believe that CERN is really responsible after all.
I don’t blame the kids though.
How do you expect them to follow the science when the science changes more frequently than a grandfather’s clock chimes in a day.
