Imagine getting this angry over a stupid survey
TAMU Survey - Embracing Emotion Over Logic and Truth (Gender Identity)
diddykong1211:18a
My wife ('15) and I ('12) received an email from Michael T. Stephenson '93, Vice Provost for Academic Affairs and Strategic Initiatives asking us to complete a survey relative to our academic experience while attending Texas A&M University.
This is an excerpt from the survey relating to the subject of this post:
What is your current gender identity?
Man
Woman
Trans man
Trans woman
Genderqueer/Gender non-conforming
Not listed above (please specify):
Prefer not to respond
The problem with this question is that logic and truth are disregarded. Rather, emotion is the deciding metric relative to how you currently "feel", not biological fact. Both my wife and I are troubled by this survey and the university's support of this perverse belief. As such, we believe it necessary to share with our fellow Aggies on TexAgs to generate awareness regarding our university's embrace of this misguided belief pertaining to gender identity. I have personally called the university to complain and hope this message might persuade others to do the same. This survey is representative of the degradation of our society and it is concerning to see our university embrace this illogical position.
Texas A&M University is a proud institution that once took pride in its counter-cultural stance with its foundation established on excellence, integrity, leadership, loyalty, respect and selfless service . We are doing those we come into contact with a disservice by not embracing truth. I hope others will see this as the slippery slope it most certainly is and care enough to fight against our university embracing false ideas pervasive in American culture today.
