Teaching Biology


Tenured professor, are you? Congratulations

you've made it, achieved an academic role

that nothing on the face of this Earth can

dislodge you from, save murder and a prison

sentence. Oh wait, there have been some changes

in the Zeitgeist after all. Yes, you have all the

respected credentials required to teach biology.

But no, as long as you insist as you have done

that men cannot be women you are in a position

to endanger students whose trans identity makes

them extremely fragile to the hostility emanating

from your insistence on rigidity of natural science.

When a transwoman insists she menstruates it

is not your privilege to deny her that reality for

after all it is her lived experience. We live in

a new spirit-freeing era too long in arriving where

inclusion, diversity and equity informs us as

wholesome, nurturing adults responsible for the

well-being of those who trust our unerring judgement.

Yours has been found wanting, care to reconsider?
