Southern Oregon University Has Officially Jumped the Shark

This college is right down the freeway from where I live, a mere 15 miles or so from my place.  It is going to provide "certificates" in "transgender" studies.  Bet they don't have a women's studies program, but it is okay to have "certificates" for a program that is basically lies.

What "women's studies" this college does have is lumped in with the rest of the queer theory bullshit.  Women aren't considered important enough to have their own studies.

This trans certificate, the first of its kind in the country, will have all kinds of lies being presented as "history," and trans "health care," meaning health care professionals have to coddle their delusions and not deal with the material reality nobody can change sex.

This is fucking unbelievable.  Ashland is trying to outdo Portland for sheer nuttiness.


The certificate will require 28 credits, more than getting a minor in Gender, Sexuality and Women’s Studies, and less than majoring in the department. The certificate will include courses like “Trans Histories, Trans Futures” and “Trans Health Care.”

De Vries and his other faculty member Dr. Carey Jean Sojka are sociologists. While the program is rooted in the social sciences, de Vries says they designed it to build skills in professional settings.

“We are sort of thinking about: can workers go into their careers and talk about how to apply what they learned about trans studies in their particular work environment? And the ways that they can bring that knowledge into their daily life and how they interact with folks,” he says.

There are no words.  The college might as well offer "Creationism Studies," "Sasquatch Studies" and "Holocaust Denial Studies" since it promotes notions that have nothing to do with science or material reality.
