Saw someone mock the concept of “self-diagnosed chronic pain” but like. Surely chronic pain is one of the most obvious diagnoses in existence? What the fuck else would you call constant pain? Or do you not want anyone to make basic onservations about their condition without a doctor signing off on it?
Also chronic pain isn’t even a diagnosis! It’s a symptom! Symptoms are by definition self-reported! Fuck!
Christians love doing stuff like this and making such a person the face of their religion then turn around and get mad when they’re (correctly) seen as insufferable.
Some of the same people upset a Muslim man is poised to be the mayor of New York. But sure, they give AF about supposed “religious discrimination”.
Let my Black behind have thrown a fit like this and I’m sure the same crowd supporting this girl would be telling me to sit my DEI ass down.
hey so i read part of the student’s essay and i want to add a few things:
it was a 0 out of 25 points. that’s not even a huge deal.
she only wrote 650 words.
the girl didn’t do the actual assignment; she just wrote what she felt like and submitted it.
the class was a PSYCHOLOGY course yet her essay was about her religious beliefs and provided no citations or psychological basis. she simply insisted her argument was true because the bible supposedly says so.
her entire essay is a mindless rant about how strict gender roles must be upheld and trans people are “demonic”
her writing—and i cannot stress this enough—is on par with that of a child who doesn’t want to do an assignment. it’s so bad i genuinely thought i was reading a satire article.
the student is a fucking college JUNIOR writing like a 10-year-old. she is also a psychology MAJOR who thinks everything in the bible is literal and that her religion is the only source anyone needs. this is someone who intends to go into mental health care. she is dangerously bigoted and ignorant, and her professor saw this and was punished for grading accordingly.
here’s a line from her essay:
“Women naturally want to do womanly things because God created us with those womanly desires in our hearts. The same goes for men. God created men in the image of His courage and strength, and He created women in the image of His beauty.”
here’s her teacher’s reasoning for the grade:
“[I am] not deducting points because you have certain beliefs" but rather because the paper “does not answer the questions for this assignment, contradicts itself, heavily uses personal ideology over empirical evidence in a scientific class and is at times offensive.”
the girl is a hate-filled bigot. she is a white christian girl who is now being championed by fox news and turning point usa while her professor sits on fucking forced leave. this is disgusting.
important edit: i have just learned the professor is trans. this hateful brat is actively trying to destroy a trans person’s life.
that is very likely the whole reason she wrote such a bad essay in the first place.
each new piece of information that comes out makes this story more sickening.
oh to be one of many animals that moved into a cozy warm mitten that was accidentally left fogotten outside in the snow and eventually found by nature and stretched so big a bear can fit snuggly inside, happily, with company
“this thing is like a binary” ok and? i don’t think the gender binary is bad because it’s a binary, it’s bad because it’s enforced upon people
“tme/tma is because it’s like a binary that is being enforced upon me, like the gender binary” only makes sense if you believe that transfeminists have the same power over you as the patriarchy does. but i guess a lot of you do in fact believe that
Honestly humans should be able to deploy little parasitic creatures called “learnlets” to go learn new things, or discover hidden ideas, and then return in the evenings
