'Ambiguous Genitalia'???

Wesleyan University in Connecticut will in September inaugurate a “gender-blind” dormitory for incoming students who aren’t sure what sex they are, reports the Hartford Courant.

Students who opt for the floor will have roommates appointed without regard to their sex, perceived or otherwise. The rooms will be set aside for transgender students, described as those born with ambiguous genitalia or who don't identify with their physical sex.

A famously liberal school, Wesleyan has garnered publicity in recent years for a course on pornography, a "queer prom" and rumors of a "naked dorm." Often, the publicity has been accompanied by criticism from the general public or alumni. Wesleyan spokesman Justin Harmon said he doesn't expect that kind of fallout in this case.

How the hell are these people gonna pick a MAJOR if they can't pick a GENDER!

This isn't a college. It's a mental institution without the benefit of reputable psychiatrists.

How the hell are these people gonna pick a MAJOR if they can't pick a GENDER!

Chances are they will all be double majors. Just a hunch.

"Wesleyan University"

I have to assume that this university has something to do with John Wesley, the founder of Methodism or the Methodist Church. And, if my assumption is correct, just how in the hell is any of this justified in the name of John Wesley.

If this is not outrageous then I'm missing something here.

I grew up Methodist before there was a United Methodist Church and drifted away over the years. In retrospect, I should have run like hell and not drifted. What a sad commentary this is on a formerly fine Christian institution.

Shouldn't that be spokesperson, or gender-neutral speaker?

God's anointed saints (none exist on the earth right now) will soon recapture every inch of America that the devil has turned into an abomination.

Parents pay serious money so their kids can experience this crap.

[kms61]

Their kids, their money, their school. Nobody else's damn business. Don't want to live in such a dorm? Don't go to Wesleyan, or if you do, don't sign up for it. That's all that really needs to be said on the matter. The righteous indignation and moral outrage that predictably shows up on threads like this really gets old after a while.
