College student gets zero grade in her project for using the term biological woman

a reply to: quintessentone

What would you say to an older person that didn't GAF in the 90s and even less today? None of these words were in the vocabulary I was given in school.

Is transgender already out of fashion, or just transgenderist? what the hell is non-binary?

The important issue here is what the student knew going in to submit her proposal to the professor and what that particular school's rules were. What did she know? If she knew nadda about her subject terminology and could not be bothered to research it first, then she deserved a zero.

Wow.

Wow.

Yeah, wow, because she obviously did some research and chose to use the terminology that ended up with a grade of zero. Either way, she deserved a zero if her subject was transpeople in women's sports. Was it? We really don't know anything about this issue now do we?

Yeah, free speech is pretty much dead in universities.

Sad.

We don't know what is going on here, but, yeah just jump on the sh** wagon without any context or facts. Oh wait, no room left.

I had to look up Heteronormativity. In my opinion the professor is full of beans. Hence a producer of natural gas.

When you have to qualify speech, then free expression is dead.

We don't know what is what because we have no context, so far we have a cropped comment (which anyone can fudge), Reddit members checking out the student's Tik Tok footprint (right winger), student not commenting further, student not taking action against school/prof., student basking in 15 minute fame...what did I miss that makes all of this believable? What happened to the conspiracy theorists on here...oh yeah this fits your agenda so you are all good.

I don't expect you to realize how sad it is that you believe this to be a demerit, but it is incredibly sad.

Sounds like this student has a solid foundation of reasoning, quite rare for college students these days.

Right winger is the term used by Reddit members diving into her Tik Tok footprint. I am asking for more information and context but this student ends it all here, with nothing else to go on.

Without all the facts where is the reasoning on this thread?

Student is probably terrified.

When I was in college, as aa vet, a teacher went on a rant one day about how much the military spent on naval ships docked at port in San Diego.

I replied that regardless where the ships were docked, it would still cost as much because that's how much it cost to maintain the ships, pay the navy folks, etc.

She called me a narrow-minded son-of-a-bitch.

I kept my damned mouth shut for the rest of the course because I needed the god damned grade.

And there were people back in the days, that had a perfectly fine and quite scientific explanation to keep calling black people N words.
but we know better now and decided to adapt our vocabulary, the Marxist didn't take over, the world didn't end.

But hey, some like the drama...

The difference is, the N word is a bad word.
I go as far as to say that I agree the words 'biological woman' should never be said to describe a women, neither should cis.
Woman is the word to describe women with.

Any male pretending to be a woman should be called exactly that.
Male identifying as female. (MIF)
Everything else is just the erasure of Women by men.

If they're going to make "biological women" the next "n" word, then I'm going to tap out.

The human race sucks.

“Without all the facts where is the reasoning on this thread?”

Many here feel that there are enough facts to base an opinion on, you obviously don’t. It would be nice to know if either one was irritable because they missed breakfast, or even what race they both were, but it won’t change what happened.
You don’t need a 10 page report on what happened. We know what happened. You can dissect this down to the finest particle if you want. For myself, that’s just not needed.

I sincerely hope her parents hire a good lawyer for baby girl.

Dumb wokebot professor doesn't even realize the comment with the grade is damning evidence of her bias and denial of simple facts, which affects her ability to do her job.

Yup. Time to lawyer up. And make the school/professor pay, not innocent taxpayers !

a reply to: quintessentone

if her professor or school forbid students to use long accepted terminology and science, I would say the school isn't worth the money, and is gross indoctrination.

a reply to: Hecate666

Biological woman is now a bad word because it makes some men feel bad because they aren't actually women, or they're misogynists playing the game to get women erased and they've found the loophole.

Can she sue?

If the University of Pennsylvania is receiving ANY federal money, then statements like this:

"Olivia, this is a solid proposal. However, the terms 'biological women' are exclusionary and are not allowed in this course as they further reinforce heteronormativity."

are suppressing not only FACTS, (which she could bring forward a case of academic fraud which is a breach of contract by the university), but are HIGHLY discriminatory!!

Why even go to college?

Honestly, parents need to be frank, and say, "Sorry Jr., you're not going. At least not on our dime!" 🤨

Stop saving now, get them the car they wanted in the first place and wish them luck!

If the curriculum doesn’t have this rule in the course catalog, the teacher should be SOL, fired and sued.
You’re not allowed to just make up rules day to day after the semester starts, screwing the student’s career for personal opinions.

A biological woman is near the pinnacle of Gods Creation. A biological Woman’s body is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen in all my time. A biological woman has a beautiful nurturing mind. How arrogant to want to change or dismiss that.

You can trust me on this, I’m an expert!
