Of course he did. Because any time a woman presents a challenge or realty, she’s gaslighted into believing she needs mental health help. Nothing changes for women. Men are still trying to control and commit them.

I mean reality! Not realty!

I am really sorry this is happening to you. I am also very proud of you for writing that letter. You are exposing something that needs to be uncovered. May peace be with you on your journey.

I first saw you on TikTok with your brilliant "Why Do I Speak Out" installment. Glad to find you here on Substack. Yours will be one of the brave voices that shines the light on the dangers of gender identity ideology run amok.

Bravo, Cat! I appreciate every single voice speaking up, even if your professor doesn’t now, hopefully the penny will eventually drop.

Holy crap, Cat, you rock! Your letter was thoughtful and salient; your professor's response was predictable and cowardly. Thank you for your courage, and your remarkable voice. I look forward to reading more of what you have to say!

I appreciate your thoughts so very much. My 14 year old is a ROGD ftm and we are struggling every day to guide with love, understanding while firmly against any medical interventions.

Thank you for speaking out. I admire your well thought out and repectful letter. Hoping for more enlightenment of your disingenuous professor.

Question: if you’re opposed to gender stereotypes, why the terms “gender conformity” or “nonconformity”?? Boomer here without a clue to what either refers.

Point, just in case = both require stereotypes. I came of age when, regardless of how a woman appeared or behaved, she was a woman and no one questioned fact. There was no such thing as conformity or its lack thereof. Still hoping for clarification.

Nice to read your solid, well-founded, and unfortunately too true words and references. Thanks for standing up for multitudes of children who are in danger of being irrevocably harmed by misinformation and immoral professionals who should remember their credo: "first, do no harm!"

Brilliant! This should be published in every newspaper in the nation!

Hi Cat, another big supporter of you here. What class is it you are taking? Maybe some precisely directed comments to administrators from parents who have considered this school and are now passing on it will encourage them to start thinking about their approach.

An excellent letter. I went thru a period of thinking I ought to have been biologically female because that is how I felt. Thank goodness the trans mania was not in full swing then. I figured out for myself that I was male bodily and am fine with that. I just had to accept that I think and feel the a woman us said to and that I am gay, neither of which make me a woman. I believed if I was a woman I’d have been loved by by my parents and accepted into society. Today I feel very differently. I accept who I am, the way I think and feel that I am gay and I live who I am. I never was lived by my parents and had I been a girl I doubt I would have been. It had always been them and not me.
