Medical School Hosts Seminar on 'Body Terrorism' Against 'Fat LGBTQ+ People'

by Leave a Comment

For those interested in medicine at the University of Louisville, a new conference has come to pass.

And it’s not just about general health.

So far as I can tell, medicine’s morphing.

Over the past year, medical institutions have hit headlines in ways suggesting substantial change.

Apropos of that, in the spirit of training your future doctor on more than diagnoses, pharmaceuticals, and how to operate, the school seems to be operating on feel.

Hence, the U of L School of Medicine’s September 15th discussion.

As relayed by The College Fix, the seminar was set to study “the oppressive history of the Body Mass Index (BMI) within the medical industrial complex.”

Also addressed: “best practices to reduce the harm experienced by fat LGBTQ+ patients in healthcare settings.”

The official topic, as stated by the invitation:

LGBTQ+ Affirming Healthcare Series presents “The Intersection of Fatphobia and LGBTQ+ Health”

The event aimed to “examine the impact of body terrorism on fat LGBTQ+ people.”

Its registration page asked students to designate their discipline:

  • Continuing Medical Education – Medicine
  • Continuing Education Unit – Nursing
  • Continuing Education Unit – Psychology
  • Continuing Education Unit – Social Work

Regarding who’s covered in the conversation, if you’re an overweight straight male, it’s definitely not your day. If you’re a straight and heavy woman, you’re out as well.

Among those privileged to be a part:

  • Fat Cisgender Gay Male
  • Fat Cisgender Lesbian
  • Fat Straight Biological Male Identifying as a Woman
  • Fat Straight Biological Female Identifying as a Man
  • Fat Queer Biological Male Identifying as a Woman
  • Fat Queer Biological Female Identifying as a Man
  • Fat Cisgender Bisexual Male
  • Fat Cisgender Bisexual Female
  • Fat Bisexual Biological Male Identifying as a Woman
  • Fat Bisexual Biological Female Identifying as a Man
  • Any Fat Pansexual

As for “fatphobia,” it’s been battled chivalrously in recent times.

In May, I reported that Cosmo manhandled myths with its “This is Healthy” covers:

Back in 2019, Sports Illustrated “[shattered] perceptions” with model Hunter McGrady:

Model Tess Holiday’s been big news:

But in May, she issued a shocker:

So goes body shaming, and TheBodyIsNotAnApology explains “body terrorism”:

The Body Is Not An Apology is a movement focused on countering the devastating impacts of hating our bodies and having others hate our bodies.

From racist and antisemitic violence including lynching, slavery, the Holocaust, and internment camps;

to LGBTQIA+ bodies being assaulted, murdered and driven to suicide regularly;

to rape and sexual assault;

to the bombing of abortion clinics and the murder of physicians supporting cis women’s, trans men’s, and non-binary people’s right to autonomy over their own bodies;

to the involuntary sterilization of disabled people;

to the debilitating shame that people around the world live with as a result of the psychological attacks our social and media machines wage against us, ending in bulimia and anorexia, addiction, stigma, racism, homophobia, ableism, sizeism, ageism, transphobia, mass self-hatred, and senseless violence as a result of body hatred — it is clear to us that there’s nothing overly rhetorical about clearly stating the impacts of body hatred and calling the promotion of such hatred on any scale an act of body-based terrorism.

The medical community’s here to help.

These days, it’s aiding a lot of things:

To Be Inclusive of Non-Binary Parents, Hospitals Nix the Terms ‘Breast Milk’ and ‘Father’

America’s Largest Hospital Group Will Teach Employees ‘Conscious Inclusion,’ Recommend They Read ‘White Fragility’

Mayo Clinic Upgrades Its Dress Policy to Include Pronoun Buttons

Columbia Medical School Launches Workshops on ‘Disrupting Racism’ and Microaggression Management

American Psychiatry Association Condemns the ‘Structural Racism’ Murder of George Floyd

Yale Medical School Welcomes Psychiatrist Who Dreams of ‘Unloading a Revolver Into the Head of Any White Person’

Concerning obesity, the problem appears particularly pronounced for one letter of the rainbow.

As heralded by The Washington Free Beacon in 2015, “Taxpayers Have Now Spent $3.5 Million to Find Out Why Lesbians Are Obese.”

The project, now entering its fifth year, received another grant worth $658,485 this summer. The total funding for the research is now $3,531,925. Funding has more than doubled since the study was first revealed in 2013.

Will fighting fatphobia ease the race for research?

Though I’d think not, I’m no expert; trust the University of Louisville — they’re the doctors.

And if they say defeating fatphobia will improve LGBTQ+ health, I guess that’s the science.

At least, it’s what science seems to have become.

Woke NFL Owner Give $5 Million to Law School to Help Train Agents of 'Social Change'

by Leave a Comment

Not that pandering NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell’s league wasn’t already “woke” enough…

Zygi Wilf, the principal owner of the Minnesota Vikings has donated $5 million to New York Law School to support a program intended to train agents of “social change.”

As reported by Reuters, Wilf is a real estate billionaire who received a law degree from New York Law School in 1973. In a statement after making the donation to the school from his family’s philanthropical organization, Wilf said that the donation would help encourage diversity in the legal field.

As transcribed by Reuters:

As an alumnus of (New York Law School), I know the students are committed to creating a fairer, more just world, and we look forward to seeing what these scholars accomplish as part of this program.

It is also essential that we continue to diversify the legal field, and we hope this program will attract a diverse range of students who can bring new perspectives and insights to the legal profession.

The equally woke law school was elated by the donation, saying it would allow them to “profoundly expand” their efforts to “support students interested in seeking legal instruction in social justice.”

New York Law School dean Anthony Crowell said in a statement, according to Reuters:

This transformative gift will open doors and change lives. I am profoundly grateful to Zygi Wilf and his family for their exceptional vision, their commitment [to] a more inclusive legal profession, and their belief in the power of change through the law.

The school will offer scholarships through the newly organized Wilf Impact Center, noted Reuters, for the sake of training agents of social change. Students chosen for the social justice scholarships will be called Wilf Scholars. [rolling-eyes emoji]

In related Woke NFL™ news, as reported by my colleague Nick Arama, Bill Maher blasted the NFL for playing “Lift Every Voice and Sing” before the season’s first game on Sunday.

The host of HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher” referred to the song, sometimes referred to as the “black national anthem,” as part of “segregation…under a different name.”

The bottom line.

The Left continues to employ a “go woke or go broke” strategy — it thinks. In reality — and there is no better example than Roger Goodell’s NFL — “go woke and go broke” is the silly game they continue to play.

Jim Banks Gives Eric Swalwell the Epic Smackdown He Deserves in Twitter Spat Over AOC

by Leave a Comment

Readers of this website are well-aware of the fact that Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) is not exactly the sharpest tool in the shed on a number of fronts. Well, okay – on any front when it comes right down to it.

We’ve documented numerous instances where he’s tried unsuccessfully to own people who are much smarter than him like former acting DNI Ric Grenell, and launched into bizarre meltdowns after attempting to dunk on people who are much braver or clever than he is.

In short, the guy who is only a legend in his own mind has a well-known penchant for starting things he can’t, you know, finish, which probably applies in other areas of his life well beyond Congress (his failed attempts at having Trump removed from office) and the Twittersphere (attempted shame games that don’t go well), if you catch my meaning.

In any event, Tuesday was yet another day that did not go well for Swalwell, who once again took to the Twitter machine in what ended up being a disastrous bid at humiliating another Republican Congressional colleague. Instead, the tables were turned in hilarious fashion, as you will soon see.

It all started out when Rep. Jim Banks (R-Ind.) did what a lot of conservatives did yesterday by engaging in some well-deserved bashing of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) over the now-infamous “Tax the Rich” dress she wore to Monday’s Met Gala event.

Banks’ first tweet was rather benign in the scheme of things, correctly pointing out that the so-called “Squad” leader was “the gift that keeps on giving” for Republicans:

In his next tweet, Banks called for her dress to be taxed:

In his third one, Banks got to the heart of the matter, noting the symbolism not just of a maskless AOC attending a $30,000/ticket ritzy function like the Met Gala while wearing a “Tax the Rich” dress but also of a maskless Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.) also attending in “equal rights” garb as the hired help worked behind the scenes while wearing masks:

A few hours later, Swalwell swooped in with what he thought was a killer response, tagging AOC most likely in hopes that she’d sic her millions of followers on Banks:

As of this writing, AOC hasn’t specifically responded to Banks’ tweets, but Banks did take a minute to get back to Swalwell, giving him an epic smackdown that might have caused the ground to shake in certain parts of the country:

Banks also retweeted this:

Rumor has it that Banks’ jab had Swalwell laying flat on his back, a position he’s apparently very familiar with if reports about his alleged dalliances with a certain Chinese honey trap are true.

We haven’t been able to confirm such rumors just yet, but if we do we’ll make sure to let you know.

AOC Causes Cringe Meters to Explode With Response to ‘Tax the Rich’ Dress Criticism

by Leave a Comment

As we reported earlier, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez arrived at last night’s Met Gala function wearing a white, off-the-shoulder mermaid dress that had “Tax the Rich” scribbled in big red letters on the back of it.

For anyone who missed it, here’s what the dress looked like:

Naturally, “woke” Democrats in the fashion industry and beyond gushed over AOC’s fashion choice as though it was one of the most creative and unique ideas for getting a political message across ever (newsflash: it wasn’t).

Critics, on the other hand, were understandably not impressed, like Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Donald Trump, Jr, both of who noted the double standards displayed by the so-called “Squad” leader for showing up to a ritzy $30,000/person event and mingling with some of the world’s richest and most famous people while not wearing a mask (though the hired help at the event were spotted wearing masks, of course, because the rules are only for the little people). Others hilariously pointed out how AOC’s dress reminded them of a Chick-fil-A bag.

Not surprisingly, AOC was clearly chomping at the bit to respond to those who she routinely calls her “haters” on the right. She took to Instagram earlier today and invoked the tiresome woman card in the process, causing cringe meters to explode:

“I and my body have been so heavily and relentlessly policed from all corners politically …”? LMAO. Seriously?

Let’s break down her cringeworthy response just to demonstrate the absolute absurdity and stupidity of it all.

First things first, she chose to wear a dress with a political message. Not only that, but she chose the message to be on the back of the dress and not the front, so obviously her, um, assets were going to be on display as she made sure to do in pictures and video.

That said, AOC could have just as well worn a Kentucky Derby-style fancy hat with a political message, or put the message on the front of her dress like model Cara Delevingne did, or carried a purse with a political message like woke soccer star Megan Rapinoe did and she would have received exactly the same criticism over her hypocritical message.

Further, had a male Democrat politician done the same thing he would have gotten similar responses. It was just a dumb thing to do, considering where she was and the lame excuse-making she put out there in the immediate aftermath, laughably making it sound as though she had little choice but to attend considering how “NYC elected officials are regularly invited to and attend the Met due to our responsibilities in overseeing our city’s cultural institutions that serve the public.”

The backlash over AOC’s dress had nothing to do with the fact that she was a woman, nor was her body the focal point of 99.9% of the criticism. Her pretending to be a victim of the patriarchy or whatever here was pretty pathetic even for her, but considering her wacko explanation behind using the term “menstruating people” to describe women, I guess we shouldn’t be too surprised to see her in the innocent damsel in distress role we see supposed “feminists” play far too often.

Final point:

‘Nuff said.

University Announces 'Racial Justice, Equity and Inclusion' Program, Preparing Students for 'Success' in Government

by Leave a Comment

The University of Nebraska has added a new option for socially conscious students.

As indicated on its website, the school now offers a Racial Justice, Equity, and Inclusion minor.

The provision comes courtesy of the College of Arts & Sciences.

It’s described thusly:

The minor in racial justice, equity, and inclusion is designed for all students curious about racial justice. It furnishes students with an academic credential in diversity, equity, and inclusion training that prepares them for success in corporate, government, and nonprofit fields.

Participants will “gain knowledge proficiency about the history, politics, and culture of key racial and ethnic groups, including African Americans, Latinx Americans, and Native Americans.”

They will develop ease and confidence in having difficult conversations about race, privilege, and cultural difference, as well as the ability to research, write, and speak about racial and ethnic issues in an evidence-based, clear, logically sound, and persuasive way.

U of N is far from the first to educate attendees in the realm of racial awareness.

University of Central Florida offers a Social Justice in Public Service degree.

The plan explores “topics such as human rights, income distribution and the role of markets.”

The University of Pittsburgh recently posted a job listing:

Assistant Professor – Structural Racism, Oppression, and Black Political Experiences

In July, University of North Carolina introduced its graduate certificate in Antiracism.

And recently, one school even modernized its mascot:

Among Nebraska’s course selection are the following:

  • Psychology of Racism
  • Introduction to African American Studies
  • Introduction to Native American Studies
  • Introduction to Latina and/or Latino Studies
  • Introduction to Africa
  • History of Mexico
  • Blacks and the American Political System
  • African American Literature Before 1865
  • African American Literature Since 1865
  • Psychology of Immigration

There’s also analysis of the nation’s past:

  • Rights & Wrongs in American Legal History
  • Rethinking the American West

Additionally available is Family Diversity, laid out as below:

Analyzes diversity in family structure and family choices. Includes: rural families, gay/lesbian families, Native American families, African American families, Latino families, working class and working poor families and cohabitation.

Lastly, the school supplies students with “antiracist” education.

Per UCLA Law Professor Kimberlé Crenshaw, “Antiracism is the active dismantling of systems, privileges, and everyday practices that reinforce and normalize the contemporary dimensions of white dominance.”

And according to CNN, the ideology seeks to stop microaggressions such as colorblindness.

Hence, course ETHN 101:

How to Be Antiracist

Examination of issues related to racism and antiracism. Topics include the history of U.S. racial conflict, whiteness, white fragility, white allyship, white abolitionism, and community action.

How will the new pathway gear-up graduates?

What type of occupational opportunity might such a program precede?

Perhaps something in the private sector that pays plenty — the field’s worked out fabulously for White Fragility author Robin DiAngelo.

In August, she was set to snag $20,000 for a three-hour racial justice workshop in Connecticut.

Her two-hour University of Kentucky appearance yielded 12 grand.

In 1991, she graduated summa cum laude, but the sociology major wasn’t prodigiously advanced:

So for those with a Racial Justice, Equity, and Inclusion minor, maybe the career to come will be major.
