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.

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.

I’m glad God rubber stamped it as “accurate”

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

Nobody is altering their sex. That is impossible. A trans woman is still biologically a male based on sex. Their gender is woman.
Should be posted to /confidentlyincorrect. Sure, no one can change their chromosomes, but sex absolutely can be changed and has been the case for Avery long time. The surgery is literally called sex reassignment. Sex refers to physical charcteristics, so vaginaplasty and phallopasty is by definition changing sex organs. Heck, trans women grow breasts on hormones and trans men get a deeper voice and facial hair. All secondary sexual characteristics.
Intersex is still determined by chromosomes. That is science
It’s common to claim “science” when you only know the basics and haven’t read any further. Chromosomes absolutely are the cause of some intersex folk, as well as cases like turners disease.
IDK why you get down voted saying the truth… feminism and LGBTQIA+ shit are going crazy nowadays… I believe some people will realize they can’t have a biological child with a trans person soon.

Right right.
Just like how you think it’s important to delete anything that challenges your world view, especially if it’s backed up by evidence.deleted by creator
Feminism it’s extremism, personally I’m not religious but I am more into traditional people too, progressive extremism it’s as toxic as far-right wing apologists in my humble POV.
Biology it’s biology and it doesn’t depend what people believe it’s right or wrong.
Oh no, not the extremist view of gender equality! I’m quaking in my boots, I tell you.
Exactly!! feminism isn’t about gender equality. Feminism it’s about feminist POV above any other POV. It’s just one(or many “deserved” ones) gender extremism.
The hell are you on about? That’s not what feminism is. Feminism is about equality of women and men and nothing more. Nobody besides a minority of crazy people believe women should be above men, and it’s dishonest to paint the entire feminist movement as extremist.

Yeah, any side brainwashing it’s bad, indoctrination it’s bad, I hope the society of the future have their own view and not just replicate extremist shit.
Going against biology it’s definetly a bad point in both sides.

Of course chromosomes apply to trans folk, it’s wildly disengenerous to say I even implied otherwise. Gosh, you just want to argue dont you? I can’t tell if you are a willfully ignorant troll or if you truly are just a brick wall who actually believes what you are saying. Not even sure which would be sadder. But I have decided I no longer care.
