🤦‍♂️   From the article:

A student at Oberlin College in Ohio described being "scared" and "angry" after the school announced a work crew would be installing radiators in a "safe space" dormitory for women and trans students, explaining the crew would likely be "cisgender men."

"I was angry, scared, and confused. Why didn’t the College complete the installation over the summer, when the building was empty? Why couldn’t they tell us precisely when the workers would be there? Why were they only notifying us the day before the installation was due to begin?" Oberlin student Peter Fray-Witzer wrote in an op-ed published in the college newspaper on Friday.  

The student said he grew concerned because he had not heard of the installation plans before a school email was sent on Oct. 7. He explained that the crew would likely be cisgender men entering Baldwin Cottage, which is home to a "safe space" for "women and transgendered persons." 

 

What a horrible way to go through life!

I don’t have any idea what cisgender means without looking it up. And I’m not looking it up. Lol.

Cisgender - just say men…..geesh , what a generation of synonyms for kitty cats.

I know what it means, I was just being silly. It’s not just applicable to men, but to anyone who thinks they are what they were born with sexually. In other words, normal. That’s why I would never use the term “cisgender”. I would say that a person is normal.

OMG!!!  How could you use the word “normal” in a situation like this?  🤔 😜 

That implies that the other person you were talking to is not normal and if you were implying that the person was not normal you were then…….

Haha…. What a world we have created.

I keep reading about safe spaces.  Place where people can go to be segregated with others that look like, act like and think like them.  Is there a safe space for normal people?  What about for middle aged white males that believe in God, hard work and taking of his family?  If you find the place I looking for let me know.

They already have a place. It is called the average neighborhood.
