"We acknowledge that the gender binary, as it is commonly understood in the US, is rooted in the logics of colonialism, racism, and gendered domination, and that fighting trans-phobia is integral to resisting and healing from the harms that these systems create. The violence of trans-phobia, particularly trans-misogyny, falls especially hard on communities of color and contributes to the exploitation, criminalization, and incarceration disproportionately experienced by black, brown, immigrant, and working class people. As queer students, students of color, and/or allies, our visions of feminist futures include and affirm people made invisible by and marginalized by the gender binary. In our classrooms, we are committed to holding space for trans students, including taking seriously trans students' experiences, standpoints, and intellectual contributions."

Note that among this collection of nonsense words there is space "in our classrooms" for transgender ideology, but no space outside the classroom for other views on the subject.

To see the undeniable total collapse of university education and the very pillars of Western civilization, ask yourself what Voltaire would have said about this. What is happening in American universities is far worse than Papal objections to astronomers' findings. It seemed to the Church that the astronomers were contradicting the very basis of the Church's religious teachings. But Tanner, who, unlike the Pope in those long ago days, is powerless to impose her views on anyone. Yet, the "transgender community" is determined to impose their views on everyone and to destroy the career of a young feminist. It looks like they will succeed.
