Students list ‘Apache attack helicopter’ as gender on ‘engineering culture’ survey, angering scholars
The College Fix ^ | 07/20/2023 | MARSHELLE PAULINO

Some students wrote that their gender was “Apache attack helicopter” in response to a survey about “engineering culture,” which prompted accusations from the academics that “fascism” is on the rise in America.

The researchers wrote a paper that described their experiences while working on a survey about LGBT students in STEM in the Summer 2023 edition of the Bulletin of Applied Transgender Studies, housed out of Northwestern University.

Titled “Attack Helicopters and White Supremacy: Interesting Malicious Responses to an Online Questionnaire about Transgender Undergraduate Engineering and Computer Science Student Experiences,” the paper reported on “individuals exercising discursive power in their language to target researchers and tamper with data.”

The authors wrote that the “backlash” to the project “reflects characteristics of contemporary far-right or fascist political movements in the U.S., such as the synthesis of antisemitism with anti-Black and anti-feminist rhetorics.”

About 25 percent of the “malicious responses” provided some airplane-related response to gender, including several who specifically identified as an “Apache helicopter.” Identifying as an “attack helicopter” is a meme that goes back to at least 2014.

Other responses included a “V-22 Osprey” and a “F-16 fighter jet.”

Oh my God. What did they expect from engineering students? Many of whom may be female?

It’s funny. Get a life

One of the problems with lying that there are more than two genders is that the survey writers don’t dare make it a multiple choice survey for fear of someone crying about them not including LGBTQPEDABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ.

Oh I definitely identify as an “Apache attack helicopter”

Makes it easier to get a parking space

Needs to be a big space, though

From the “Bulletin of Applied Transgender Studies.” Some woke yokel got credit for a publication for writing this comic parody of scholarship.

STEM students are cocky enough to know who’s got real talent and which side of the campus holds the wokedorks.

How dare they question one’s gender identity!!!

I demand the “researchers” be immediately expelled from the university and brought up on civil rights violation charges.

On the other hand, if it’s okay to publicly ridicule a person’s gender identity, I’m cool with that too.

Calling people who disagree with you -- with humor AND playing by the rules as presented --- fascists? Really?

From the BS itself, "Stigma occurs in multiple, overlapping ways...." Yea, calling someone a fascist isn't applying stigma? These people might have degrees and diplomas, but they've 1) no commonsense, 2) no sense of humor, and 3) confusion up their surgery-reconstructed wazoos.

Tranny Central writes: "Anti-trans political rhetoric and discourse often rests on the assertion that trans identities are somehow immoral." Well, yes. And illogical. And if one holds such opinions as it being immoral or illogical, then one is fascist. Says the Tranny Central fascists.

The current woke side of campus makes the old generation of elementary education students look like rocket scientists.

But then again, we have med school students who claim there are 57 genders - and the Dean of the Med School not only agrees with them but will discipline and possibly expel any student who disagrees and believes there is only male and female.

Do the “scholars” not realize they are being mocked? Or, are they too stupid to realize that stupid surveys completed by students will result in mockery and ridiculous answers?
