Let's be honest, if that professors wasn't trans the university would have had her back on this. This isn't something that the average professor has to worry about, it's very explicitly part of a systemic attempt to eradicate trans people by making it impossible to be trans and employed.
If you’re wondering why your friends in academia are a little on edge right now, it’s because an eighteen-year-old who hasn’t done the reading, doesn’t look at the assignment, and has does no critical thinking skills more complex than “because I think it’s in the Bible” can literally end your career
The University of Oklahoma has removed an instructor who was accused by a student of religious discrimination over a failing grade on a psychology paper in which she cited the Bible and argued that promoting a “belief in multiple genders” was “demonic.” https://cnn.it/4b6g3rd

The US TikTok sale has been signed. The company will be controlled by a joint venture including Oracle, Silver Lake, Andreessen Horowitz, Abu Dhabi-based MGX. Adding a UAE company really makes it clear that this was never about national security concerns.

You voted for the tiktok ban. You helped make this happen.
First Paramount / CBS and now TikTok.
Trump wants to hand over even more control of what you watch to his billionaire buddies.
Americans deserve to know if the President struck another backdoor deal for this billionaire takeover of TikTok.

On Linux Mint, Waterfox is a flatpak, meaning all its dependency shit is bundled along with it. Bigger initial download, but then you never have to think about dependencies or enter the terminal to fix shit.

Adopting.
Babies.
What trait do those babies have that, when they grow up as fully American adults, would make them a threat to our country in any form?
