If gender is a made up construct and there’s no difference between the genders what on earth are college “Gender Studies” majors studying? Four years and hundreds of thousands of dollars and they can’t answer “What is a Woman?”
And if there’s no difference between the genders, how does one know if one if a boy or a girl on any given day? How do trans people know they’re trans if there’s no difference?
Why is it that the only ones wearing dresses are boys pretending to be girls? Maybe it’s because the boys can’t wear yoga pants for obvious reasons?

Bear in mind, that the move in academia to look more like the privatized healthcare industry. We have hired huge numbers of corporate minded businessmen/accountants, administrative costs have doubled and tripled (as we have seen in privatized healthcare) and they tend to treat academic units as “profit centers”. Therefore, the go for programs that bring in money and tend to pare down programs that are expensive. What is cheap? Psychology, gender studies, etc. These programs have large growth and low costs. Philosophy and critical thinking courses have been nudged out of the curriculum to make room for DEI courses that the accreditation industry demands.
THe real problem is how the administration not only bows or kneels, but fully prostrates itself to accreditation agencies and lawyers. Its less about education and more about compliance (a good corporate term…)

Here’s a better question: If gender and biology are distinct realities, and one does not inform the other, then why are people having “gender reassignment” surgeries to try to make their biological bodies “match their gender”? And how could a woman (gender) possibly be trapped in a male (biological) body? Either our gender and biology are inextricably linked or they aren’t linked at all. And if they are linked, if you are suffering from gender dysphoria, how do you know it’s your body that’s wrong and not your mind? The whole thing is incoherent, illogical, and self-contradictory. Follow the money. There’s plenty of money in surgery, life long hormone replacement drugs, etc. There’s not as much money in teaching people that they are good just as they are and helping them learn to love themselves as God created them.
