John Hopkins University of Misogyny

[Jkrowlingsarmy]

I’ve no words tbh. Utterly disgusted by the misogyny.

Bisexual is still allowed to exist, albeit in a mangled form, despite 'pansexual' being an alternative definition. Presumably it would be a step too far to erase one of the letters from LGBT.

Bisexual [sexual orientation]: A person who is sexually attracted to multiple genders, or who identifies as a member of the bisexual community. Often, but not limited to, being attracted to the same gender and other genders. May be shortened to “bi.”

In plain sight! In plain fucking sight!

Goddess I'm raging!

Handmaidens take note. They mean you too.

Non-men my arse!

FUCK OFF!

There's a Fox News story from mid-May that references the Johns Hopkins definition:

Stonewall (UK) still uses the word 'woman' in their definition, so maybe it has originated in North America if it hasn't made it over to the UK yet.

It's part of the FTM and MTF definition.

Worse to come...
...men and non-men becomes...just men.

OH FUCK OFF JOHNS HOPKINS!

Call yourselves a university? With a medical school iirc? I was so incredulous and went and looking for the page myself in the hope that it was a photoshop job, but nope, you are that bloody stupid.

I thought 'cis woman' was more than bad enough, but NON-MAN?
When men are still, um, men?

What a bunch of arrogant, sexist, blinkered fools.

Of course, men are never non-women.

Nope, a male homosexual partnership will never be described as "a liaison between two non-women, blah blah".

Plus ca change, plus ca la meme chose.

Even

That should say -

Even 5-10 years ago we had Always 'Like a Girl,' defying sexist stereotypes about doing (x) 'like a girl', and Volvo's campaign to reduce female car crash tests by using dummies that weren't just based off scaled-down men.

Now Nike is sponsoring a man playing up stereotypes of female athletes for laughs, and brands insisting female athletes are just scaled-down, hormonally altered men.

It's insane.

No non-man no cry, no non-man no cry!

I can’t believe they’ve found an even more insulting term than cis - and they’re so brazen in making men the default humans that now women don’t even exist, they’re just lumped into the non-man category along with cats, dogs, fridges, radiators, pencils, cars and anything else that isn’t a man.

Well it’s high time for this madness to stop. Never mind Let Women Speak. Now it’s time to Let Non-Men Peak. This idiocy could drive more and more people to the summit, and not before time!

So... According to John Hopkins university, if I, as a non-man, use a vibrator, which is also a non-man, I'm a lesbian? They might need to go back to the drawing board on that one.

Interesting that they are so perfectly blatant. Man and non-man. Not the slightest pretence of belief in equality. We are what’s left when the real people are subtracted.

Presumably we are entitled to what’s left when the real people have taken what they want.

Johns Hopkins used to be a spearhead centre for the treatment of transsexuals. Apparently now they're specialists in corporate lobotomies.

What twats.

Non-man 🤬 Another one off the list.

Yes it’s what we’ve been railing against

Anyone with a brain knee where it was headed

Knew

Just in case anyone hasn't noticed, this has all kicked off big time on AIBU.

By the look of it, many women are reaching the mountain tops this evening.

All over it 👍

How this was reported in Newsweek
https://www.newsweek.com/johns-hopkins-accused-trying-erase-women-its-lesbian-term-1806134

A small subset of conservative online has expressed outrage at Johns Hopkins University over its non-binary-inclusive definition of "lesbian" in its glossary of LGBTQ+ terms...

On Monday, the glossary's current definition of "lesbian" came under attack from right-wing users on social media...

The flare-up comes amid a broader backlash among conservatives to LGBTQ+ rights and the embrace of queer communities by society. Numerous state legislatures across the U.S. have begun passing laws that target transgender communities, taking particular aim at the ability of parents to get gender-affirming care for their trans children. Spurred by a small number of far-right influencers, there has also been a vocal, if not definitively widespread, lashing out against companies and brands that market to LGBTQ+ communities or hold Pride Month events...

The definition provided by Johns Hopkins is notably distinct from those provided in similar LGBTQ+ glossaries maintained by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), casting doubt on the alleged conspiracy to "erase" women.

Women are being erased.

Just been reading this and the level of rage I have is unbelievable. I’m so fucking angry.

If you want to write to them as a minority (majority) then here's their email address to shut this down!

It's in Maryland, home of the biscuits and especially ironic as the whole town was named after a woman, Mary!?!

#Gogirls!

Thanks for the email address. (A better one might be [email protected])
I do think we all need to start writing to organisations to express our views, in addition to discussing amongst ourselves. Real letters might be more effective (albeit more expensive) as they are less easy to delete.

I’m beyond sick of being described as right wing, bigoted, phobic. I am NONE of those things. How can anyone with a critical mind think that it’s a neutral or inclusive act to describe women as ‘non-men’?
