   Not he first uni to establish such a policy. . . the death begins with the   
   schools. . . :(    
      
   I think even Harvard is in the game. . (!)   
      
   Well, I have no way pf knowing what your preferred pronoun is, so unless you   
   have it on your fgorehead in permanentymarker, I'll call you as I sees you.   
   Oh, you told me (sorry, my hearing ain't so good, SIR! & my memory's even   
   worse)   
      
   I believe in real science -- things are to be established by repea5table study   
   or experiment.   
      
   The only consistent & objectively esablished fact i s the XY chromosome.   
      
   You can dress uyp with clothing butthat don't hide your primary sexual   
   cgharaxteristic (innie or outie genitals) & you can use surgery to dress up   
   your crotch, but your XY still tells the truth.   
      
   Children playing, because they're dissartisfied with their shitty lives.   
      
   & refuse to believe it all comes down to making wise personal choices & maybe   
   a General Arts major isn't the way towards a better future. Maybe you got to   
   take more difficult classes, & actially LEARN at school (BY GOD!! The horror!   
   The inhumanity!!)   
      
   I got no sdchooling, but I know it, & I'm doing my best to make wise choices   
   from where I'm at.   
      
   If I get dealt into a poker game late, it doesn't mean I have to lose.   
      
   Ditto if I get crappy cards. . . I'm in it to win it (life or poker)
