Male or Female? Uh uh. Bellevue College Now Gives You Seven Gender Choices
BY RACHEL BELLE  on November 25, 2013 @ 6:02 pm (Updated: 1:38 pm - 11/26/13 )
Listen: Male or Female? Uh uh. Bellevue College Gives You Seven Gender Choices

{snip} Instead of the standard "Male" and "Female" boxes that one checks on applications, there was the question: What is your 'gender identity'? And seven different options: Feminine, Masculine, Androgynous, Gender Neutral, Transgender, Other and Prefer Not To Answer.

Under that is the question: "What is your sexual orientation?" Where you can then check Bisexual, Gay, Lesbian, Queer Straight/Heterosexual, Other or Prefer not to answer.

After Ron showed us the application, we wondered why they were collecting this data. So I went down to Bellevue College and got some answers from the LGBTQ Center adviser, Colin Donovan.

"We started collecting the data this fall quarter. It's about being able to track how well GLBTQ, and gender variant students, are doing in school and how we can design better services, better classes, better programs to make sure these students succeed. Up until this point there has been no way to track how that's done."

The data is 100 percent private and not shared with anyone, and for now will only be used internally. This new data collecting system was accepted by all community and technical colleges in Washington state.

Petri Muhlhauser is involved in the school's LGBTQ Center leadership program. She says sometimes LGBTQ students have different needs.

"Other?????" WTF is "Other"?  ::thinking::  ::whatgives::  ::pullhair::

And shared only with the NSA, and with such organizations the NSA chooses to share this with, including DHS (if you are conservative) and Organizing for America if you are not.

Other- this is for every liberal everywhere. After all, if they insist on treating everyone else as if they were a thing - a possession held as communal property, there is no reason to even assign them human status.

And that's why I highlighted it!

Yes.  And walked barefoot in the snow uphill both ways to do so.

By the time I was in elementary school calculators were ubiquitous enough that it was definitely considered cheating to use one.  By the time I got into the higher maths, they were permitted or required. But now they're letting them be used at every level, even in elementary schools. I put it in the "we don't teach cursive anymore" category.

They've convinced themselves that doing anything by rote is just a procedural and unnecessary thing, when in reality the supposedly pointless rote works to build cognitive pathways in the brain.

It's merely a matter of when, not it, the electric grid goes down. These "students" don't even know how to use a slide rule.

Just like "Where does food come from? The gorcery store." ask these morons where electricty comes from and they'll say "The wall socket".
