We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

I understand the science well.
So you think saying sex is determined by x and y is transphobic? It’s basically biology.
He did not admit it. He said he never spoke to his students about his personal opinions. He stayed that he said in biology sex is determined by x and y which is true.
You seem to be denying sex is not based on genetics. That is false.
Bad faith, through and through
That is not what I'm saying. That is the culture war line you want me to be saying so you can say I'm denying facts, science and truth. Chromosomes absolutely determine sex characteristics for most people, there are many many exceptions, but none that really apply to trans folk.
But that has nothing at all to do with his alleged class room statements, and then confirmed with his letter saying no one should transition and that sterilizing yourself is wrong according to his faith. That is blatant transphobia.
Tell me friend, how often do you swab your friends and grab a petri dish to check their chromosomes before dressing mister or misses? Fucking never right? Chromosomes mean nothing in our day to day world and our concept of gender, sex and identity are more complicated than what a lab test can show. You are hiding behind chromosomes so you can ignore his obvious transphobia.
You are being selectively naive so you can say feign outrage "libs hate science! Facts over feels!". It's extremely bad faith.
It still applies to trans people. They don't get to ignore science. For the large majority of the population, you are XX and XY. It's just the way it works in biology.
No, that is his opinion. I don't agree with him, as I clearly stated, but it is not transphobia. Even if it was, that is protected speech under the law. It isn't illegal to be transphobic. According to the article, this was never discussed in the classroom.
You can just tell by looking or listening. Hasn't failed me in 50 years.
