“parents of college students” facebook groups are one of the more embarrassing developments of recent times
🚨BREAKING 🚨Utah State University's women's dorm has allegedly allowed a “transgender” individual as a "Dorm Mom," turning a supposed safe haven for female students into a nightmare of wokism that threatens the safety of female residents. 🧵 This week, Cheryl Saltzman, a concerned mother, bravely took to social media to voice her outrage because a man has now moved into her daughter’s all-women's secure environment (Merrill Hall Dorm) without notice to the women students. She was horrified to meet "Marcie," whom she said is clearly a "biological man" infiltrating the dorm. "Marcie" now ironically holds the misleading title of Resident Assistant, or “Dorm Mom” a position that should be about protecting young women and the “community standards”, but is now compromised. Stalzmans’s said at some point during “Marcie’s” move-in one of the female students who lives in the dorm spoke with “Marcie’s” mother, who not only confirmed “Marcie” is in fact a “trans” person with specific pronouns to use, but wanted to make sure the female students“felt comfortable” her son was moving in with them. I was able to independently corroborate this part of the story. Saltzman's courageous post shed light on her deep discomfort with "Marcie's" inappropriate presence in the dorm, questioning whether "Marcie" has inappropriate access (as the Dorm Mom) to the private rooms of these vulnerable female students. After her complaint, the university, in a dismissive move, merely offered her daughter alternative housing, showing clear negligence towards the safety and privacy of the remaining female students in the dorm. Saltzman shared a photo with me depicting a strange introductory collage “Marcie” apparently created and publicly posted on a large wall in the dorm for all the girls to see. (See below) “I’m doing this to make change and to protect the female students who may not have the courage to speak up. And last, it’s just wrong!” She and her husband told me in a phone interview with them… “Our daughter luckily had us as parents who live close enough to the school to protect her; and a lot of these students don’t have that kind of support” Eric Saltzman said. This scandal echoes a recent uproar at Utah State University (Logan, Utah) where brave members of the women's volleyball team, like Kaylie Ray, were unfairly vilified for standing up against playing against transgender athletes from San Jose State. It's worth noting that some misguided staff from Utah State University were allegedly among those condemning their own team, revealing a disturbing pattern of disregard for women's sports and spaces. The situation raises serious doubts, again, about the leadership of President Elizabeth R. Cantwell @USUPres at Utah State University, who seems more interested in pushing radical agendas than in safeguarding the sanctity of women-only spaces and sports. Hopefully this story will not only push USU to take swift action, but also compel “Marcie” to disengage from gender appropriation in women’s college dorms, and ultimately remove the “woman face” he has on.

my dad tried to get me to agree to a similar set of conditions. i told him essentially to go fuck himself. i believe this was absolutely the correct decision
Before my son transitioned, we worked out a set of conditions together that he had to meet so that we could both feel confident it was the right move: 1. No chemicals or surgery before 18. Period. 2. He needed to be able to dispassionately recite opposing positions, including difficult and critical perspectives, on the subjects of transgender identity and transition as a treatment for gender dysphoria. 3. He needed to fully research and understand the potential complications, including tail risks like deformation, lifelong pain and dependence on the medical industry 4. Two years of therapy dedicated to gender dysphoria issues to see if they could be resolved that way 5. A long weekend in the woods on solo meditation retreat, praying to God and communing with the deepest parts of the self to be sure this would be the right decision. After doing all of these, and a lot of time for contemplation, he elected to begin transitioning when he was almost 20. Given the severity of his symptoms, it was the best option for him. I don't think most critics of medical transition are against it when it's a fully measured intervention that genuinely treats human suffering. I think most critics are horrified by the nonchalance of our culture toward children and vulnerable adults electing to have genuinely life-changing procedures in an atmosphere of social contagion, profit-driven medical malfeasance, and uncritical ideological pressure. But when transition is fully and wisely considered, and limited to consenting adults, I think it saves lives, and the art should be not only preserved, but deepened and improved.

of course, if there is one thing that we have learned from the entirety of human history, it is that ethnic prejudice is usually logical, coherent, and can always be immediately alleviated by large-scale changes in behavior and cultural outlook.
If I was an immigrant to a country and it seemed the native population really, really resented immigrants of my nationality or ethnic group—even though we’re “good immigrants on paper”—I’d feel quite ashamed and wonder what it is about our culture which elicits such resentment.

Besides the Census itself, the @USCensusBureau performs 102 additional surveys costing $2.2 billion, many of them obsolete with the results not being used to drive any action nor even looked at. The Census Bureau and DOGE are reviewing them one-by-one. So far, 5 wasteful surveys, totaling 493 pages of questions and $16.5M in costs, have been terminated, with questions like: - “In your entire life, have you had at least 12 drinks of any kind of alcohol, not counting small tastes or sips?” - “Was this MOSTLY regular wine, wine coolers, or fortified wine?” - “How frequently do you use the internet in your home?”

I fully support deporting Zohran Mamdani. I’m tired of pretending citizenship is a right for foreigners. He’s not assimilated into our culture. Not with his habits, not with his religion, and not with his ideology. The federal government should be able to much easier strip citizenship for these reasons. And I don’t care if a single person views this as “authoritarian.” Plus, this is not to mention the arguments that Mamdani — who has aligned himself with Islamic terror — had violations with his citizenship forms and application process. I want a nation. Not whatever this is. The founding fathers are rolling in their graves because someone as problematic as this is able to get this close to controlling the nation’s top city.
