Politics makes strange bedfellows indeed. Ultraconservative gun advocates joining with LGBTQ community to support right of trans people to bear arms.

One option could see Trump formally declare that people who identify as transgender are mentally ill and are not legally allowed to possess firearms, one Justice official told CNN.

This should make the left happy, right? I mean, that's fewer guns to hurt people...

Or maybe we should only be restricting people who have actually committed violent crimes? Just a thought...
 
Student at Texas A&M challenged professor during discussion on gender and sexuality, saying it was illegal because Trump declared there are only two genders and besides what teacher said was against her religion. Teacher said student free to leave.
​
Student then demanded college president fire teacher. President said no, BUT ordered review of all courses. Said professor would be spoken to about going outside scheduled curriculum.
​
This isn't third grade. College classes frequently go outside scheduled curriculum to follow points of interest.
​
Turns out student was secretly recording professor and ran to right wing media, who now demand professor be fired.

I had a professor at PSU who said, on the first day, "you don't have to attend my class, but know that the final will be on what I said in my lectures, not what the history book I assigned to you says".

No one complained. Well, that's not true, some twerp showed up for a few classes and failed the final because he went off of what was in the book.

In retrospect, it was a god awful boring class (and I loved history at the time).
 
To me as a student it was most interesting when a question or comment took professor off lecture. Obviously they need to cover course material but if something said in a lecture interests a student enough to ask a serious question (not Trump said only two genders), made class more interesting.
 
Everytime I see this thread bumped, it makes me wonder whatever happened to our forum unabashedly folksy bigot.

Spend enough time speaking to women who are taking testosterone — specifically, in very high doses — and you start to notice that they sound messianic. They’re often talking fast and intensely; they’re amped up; they’re describing what they clearly consider a miracle drug; and they have no intention of lowering their dose, despite the unknown risks or some problems with facial hair. After all, how can they worry about facial hair when they feel so alive? It’s nothing they can’t take care of with a quick waxing, which they now have the energy to do at the end of the day — right after they prepare a high-protein dinner for their family and before they put the finishing touches on their spreadsheets, close their laptops and light a few mood candles for the sex that they know will be great,maybe even better than the sex they had last night, even though they’re a day older.
“It’s changed my marriage,” Jessica Medina, a 41-year-old marketing consultant in Orange County, Calif., told me. With four kids in the house, and sex happening six times a week (up from “How about never?” pre-testosterone), she had to put a lock on the bedroom door. She and her husband had attended a “marriage growth” group at church for years, but it took testosterone for their relationship to be, as she put it, “100 times closer.” She was a little less emotional, a little less sentimental than she used to be, but she didn’t have time for that kind of thing, anyway. “It’s more like: Get stuff done, handle business, work out,” she said. “In order to do all that and still have time for our kids and their sports, there’s no time to whine about how hard it is.”
