including an 'I' in LGBT [for 'intersexed']

How about 'F' for 'freak'? I guess that's not very P.C.

"I personally attended workshops on anti-racism and confronting white privilege,...

It sounds like you slept through that one, sweetie. The underlying irony and racism in that statement cracks me up.

Very valuable work here and I would be interested in Freepers' opinions as to where the "I" should go.

I think we need a workshop on that.

"I attended workshops that mostly looked at coalition-building and multi-issue movements, or movements that discussed LGBT issues in the context of economic justice, anti-racism, reproductive freedom, etc.," said Emily Izenstein '06, co-president of Direct Action to Stop Homophobia (DASH) and undergraduate representative for the LBG Studies Program Steering Committee at Cornell.

"I attended many workshops on transgender issues and broadened my knowledge about how transgender identities and non-normative gender expressions intersect with many aspects of the legal system," said Erica Kagan '05, president of Haven. "I personally attended workshops on anti-racism and confronting white privilege, ageism, including an 'I' in LGBT [for 'intersexed'], same-sex marriage equality, how the No Child Left Behind Act impacts our LGBT youth, and genderqueer issues," Farr said.

What a nice bunch of hate-workshops these people attend. Let's dissect.

Anti-racism workshop: Blame whitey for almost everything

White Privilege workshop: Hate whitey for being succesfull

Agism workshop: Blame old whitey for everything the anti-racism workshop didn't cover

The rest of the workshops: Bash Christian consevative workshops

Next year, the conference will be held in Oakland, Calif., and Cornell students plan to attend that event as well.

I bet. Sex can be addictive.

non-normative gender expressions ???

I wonder what was considered non-normative among the enlightened multigendered participants taking part in the undoubtedly diverse communicative intercourse celebrated in Ithaca?

I think "Heather has two mommies" brought it elementary schools about ten years ago, unfortunately.

Agreed. By expanding on the "white privlege" aspect though, now children as young as 6 yrs. can not only feel confused about sexuality, but can also be made to feel ashamed of their own skin color.

And then there is God. Being phased out of American life with every one of these conferences held. I would really really like to know, WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE?

A partial response would be that they are not satisfied with equality per se. By that I mean that the typical attitude toward them of tolerance-but-stay-out-of-my-face is not enough for them. They seem to be unable to remain silent about their perverted preferences.

I think the first thing they need to understand is their misapplication of the word "homophobia." Disgust is not the same thing as fear.

"genderqueer"

Oh cripes, who made up this stupid term?

Let's call it what it is: abnormal behavior, based on perceived or real childhood trauma coupled with subject's personality.

The best thing to come out of Ithaca is Rt. 13.
