A place to discuss pro-conservative stuff

  1. Be excellent to each other. Civility, No Racism, No Bigotry, No Slurs, No calls to violences, No namecalling, All that good stuff, follow lemm.ee's rules, follow the rules of your instance, etc.

  2. We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

  3. Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.

A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

In a letter sent to Alamo Colleges shortly after his dismissal, Varkey's attorneys described him as a "devout Christian" who believes that "one should not attempt to erase or alter his or her sex" and that "absent of a compelling reason, one should not sterilize oneself."

Dude was fired for other reasons. He is citing his religion as to why he can go on his opinion tangents in a science classroom.

No one is disputing sex characteristics are determined for most people by chromosomes, with Intersex being a notable exception. But that has zero bearing on someone medically transitioning. The characteristics you are born with, such as race or sex should not be the sole determination of what sort of life you are allowed to live.

All people. Intersex is still determined by chromosomes. That is science.

I think he should have skipped the Christian part. It is irrelevant. Nobody is altering their sex. That is impossible. A trans woman is still biologically a male based on sex. Their gender is woman. It is impossible with current technology to change your sex.

People should sterilize themselves as they see fit. I believe in body autonomy. Live your life as see you fit. If you want to transition from a man to a woman. As long as you are an adult, you should be allowed to do it. If you want to sterilize yourself for any reason and you are an adult, knock yourself out. If you want an abortion and you are an adult, there shouldn't be any unreasonable restrictions.

If you can't control your own body then how free are you?

According to the court case, he never brought his religion into the classroom. So it's unfair to say he ranted in the classroom.

Does telling trans people they're still a man or still a woman get your rocks off or something? Why is this an article you give two shits about? An adjunct teacher teaches a lesson from 50 years ago to people who aren't transitioning isn't news.

Who said anything about telling them? The article is about a teacher fired for teaching accurate biology.

I'm glad God rubber stamped it as "accurate"

What does God have to do with it? God was never discussed in the classroom.

Did you read the article?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Of course not, it's fox news spewing anti-LGBTQ bullshit. I don't hate myself.

Good for you? You didn't read the article because it's about a wrongful termination claim. If you don't find the topic interesting then move on. If you do find the topic interesting, read the article and make a coherent statement.

Every article you post is down voted to hell and back with no meaningful discussion. Your world view is shit. Your ideas are not welcome to anyone but the most echoing of chambers. You mod a community who's most up voted posts call you out for the losers you are. I'm extremely interested in your world view returning to the gutter it came from.

So you think it is acceptable for a biology teacher to be terminated for teaching facts in the classroom? This explains why we have liberals serving me coffee at Starbucks when they claim to have biology degrees.

If you think facts are scary, that is your problem and not a problem of the community.

Keep telling me what's facts and what's not. 🍿

Do you disagree that in biology sex is determined by X and Y Chromosomes? I would love to see a citation otherwise as that is pretty undisputed biology.

I bet your favorite flavor of crayon isn't even a rare color.

"The slowly increasing understanding and acceptance of intersex people exemplifies how scientists and society still have a lot to learn about biological sex and the ways sex determination occurs in humans. Though biologists have an understanding that chromosome combinations influence the biological sex that an embryo develops as, biologists still know very little about the specific genes and mechanisms that control the sexual development pathway. Additionally, there are many factors beyond chromosomes that influence the sexual characteristics a person develops, and scientists are continually uncovering more intricacies in the development process. Finally, the events that lead to atypical sexual development have to be further explored."

Fuck you.
