Had a prof say on the first day of class that his wife needs to use the stand mixer he bought her more frequently & make him food. #yOUrbad

It was like the academic version of "go make me a sandwich, woman." How were women students supposed to feel in that class?
#yOUrbad
Same prof consistently used gender as example of dichotomous variable b/c "it's easy, there's only two options." Transphobia much? #yOUrbad

This was a graduate level research class in education, supposedly an inclusive profession.
#yOUrbad -
Also, same prof told a PhD student that no one would care about her research because it was about Black women. Excuse me?!

The dichotomy stills excludes people.

That's pretty easy to do when you're part of the 99%.

No one. But there's no reason why people can't work together to make life better for everyone, including the 1%.

...are you serious? "Rape" our language? & respecting ppl's pronouns does make life better for folks. It's not that hard.

but technically he's right ==>http://www.statisticshowto.com/dichotomous-variable/ …

Only if using an outdated, non-inclusive definition of gender. Which shouldn't have happened in the dept he was teaching in.

I think you're overreacting ,I think it's safe to say that the individual is more important than their gender at the end of the day
-
I am not overreacting. Salient aspects of human identity are part of what makes individuals who they are.

Nope not transphobic at all. Are you denying a trans person the right to be recognised as one or the other?
-
Not at all! But there are trans folks who don't identify with the gender binary and they matter, too.
-
But gender is not sex and not being binary doesn't mean your sex or genderless.
-
Indeed, sex and gender are different. And not all ppl outside the binary identify as agender. True.
-
What THE hell is a "binary"?
-
2 things that are directly related to each other.
-
I understand binary coding, but no idea what it has to do with one's sex.
-
Gotcha. It's referring to the dichotomy of man/woman in terms of gender. Or male/female in terms of sex.
