That would explain additions to the DSM, but not subtractions. At least the way you've worded it.

Prior to the text revision of the DSM-II, just plain homosexuality was a mental illness. In the text revision, the name was changed and they added additional criteria/descriptions that included homosexual attraction or behaviors causing discomfort or distress, or the person wanting to change their orientation. So just plain homosexual attraction or homosexual behavior without distress and not wanting to change the orientation would no longer be classified as a disorder.

In sum, the diagnostic code really didn’t change. They just tightened the criteria and changed the name. That continued in the DSM III where they even further refined criteria about distress or impairment in functioning, and it was called ego-dystonic homosexuality
Then it was completely removed in the DSM-III-R

Total setup for that drama queen to make a scene. She wasn't kicked out of the classroom, and a Trump Executive order does not equal law


Executive Orders have the force of law. And A&M has no business teaching that bullshite in their classrooms. That is a despicable, child sexualizing/child gooming leftist prog filth professor that needs to take that shite to some east or west coast libtard indoctrination cess pool school.

frick anyone defending the professor and school president.

Within the Executive Branch, yes. Outside of it, no.

Was this professor employed by the Executive Branch of the US government? If not, she was ot violating federal law.

Agreed, but that is A&M's decision, not Trump's.

Professor Melissa McCoul WAS fired, but not because of Trump's EO. Per A&M, she was fired because she was teaching material that was outside the scope of the course description originally approved by A&M and because she declined to change the instruction after repeated requests by the A&M administration.

No college student is going to catch the “gay” or “trans“ from that class; they are adults.


Those college students are being taught that this tranny shite is normal to pushed into the heads of children, 3 to 12 years old... and the lesson is promoting that they teach it to children 3 to 12 years old.

That's pretty sick.

"YOU'RE FREE TO LEAVE!"

Umm..this sort of implies that she was yelling at the student.


If you watched the entire video, at the end she told the student, "it's time for you to leave". So yes, at first she said "you're free to leave" but at the end she said "it's time to leave", and then the tone of the 8&4 president was a small man trying to dominate the conversation and beat down on the girl. While he wasn't yelling, he was interrupting her, and trying to silence her objections.

In the end, 8&4 is going to have to answer for this. And they should. Trannyism is nothing more than child grooming and manipulation. There is zero science behind it. It's all a form of marxism.

So, a lesson is being taught. Someone gets mad and prevents the lesson from being caught. That person gets thrown out for stopping the lesson and then cries and tries to get the professor fired.

Pretty ridiculous, if you don’t like the lesson then leave. Trying to get someone fired because something is being taught that you don’t personally agree with is getting close to what the chines commie students pulled back in the day.

Here is the problem with your analysis.

The student enrolled in Children's Literature class, and what she GOT was a professor teaching Gender Theory.

There is nothing inherently WRONG with a class in Gender Theory, but one should be able to rely upon the catalog description and course syllabus to KNOW what class one will be taking.

The student was entirely WRONG in asserting that Trump's EO made the class "illegal," but that is an entirely different discussion.

TBH, I have never read in detail the EO's related to gender ideology etc. But was more responding to the poster's comment that Executive Orders blanketly "do not equal law." As the particular EO is worded, it does not make the professor's actions "illegal." You're right.


"Professor Melissa McCoul WAS fired, but not because of Trump's EO. Per A&M, she was fired because she was teaching material that was outside the scope of the course description originally approved by A&M and because she declined to change the instruction after repeated requests by the A&M administration."

I didn't think she would necessarily be canned for violating Trump's EO. I was more speaking to the Governor and school administration to can her for teaching innappropriate, leftist activist gender ideology BS in an environment where it should never see the light of day. Happy to see A&M canned her.

The problem is Hope is going to ensure it continues.

As an alum, you should be lighting that clown's phone and email up and encouragin other A&M folks to do the same.

People would understand if this was at Cal-Berkley, but to be at a major university in a RED State is completely unacceptable. The people who believe like that professor are way smaller than those who believe like that student does.
It's just that people have been too timid to call delusional behaviour exactly what it is .

If what was being taught had actual factual TRUTH, you'd be correct.

Telling normal people that insane people can magically become a different sex and saying its backed by biology is not teaching someone. It's indoctrination.

There are 2 genders. Male and Female. Those are determined in the womb. Just because someone chooses to have their sexual appendage changed does not suspend reality and demand others with a clear thinking mind also must play along in make believe

I’m not saying I agree with the lesson, I’m saying a student in college who is an adult should act like an adult (leave without causing a scene and filing a complaint, there is a process for this) instead of acting like a child and trying to get someone fired for a simple lesson.

You guys act like you’re all about freedom of speech but just want people fired so quickly for a little bit of speech, it’s hilarious.

This is the graphic that led to this entire brouhaha, and it agrees with you that physical sex is immutable (assigned at birth) and NOT something that resides along a spectrum.

It ALSO presents the notion that things like gender expression and sexual attraction are NOT immutable and DO reside on a spectrum.

It seems to me that these sorts of questions are EXACTLY the sort of issues that should be explored in a course on ... Gender Identity ... but NOT in a course on Children's Literature.

Even in a Gender Identity course, it would be entirely valid to ask whether the professor is presenting this "unicorn" as established fact or as one of several hypotheses to be examined in the course. If the latter, I agree that her approach would be problematic. In such a course, you should be free to make exactly the argument that you make in your post ... though hopefully more politely.

I’m pretty sure that A&M is required to obey the executive order if in fact that are receiving federal funds.
