No, transgenderism isn't an ideology that changes based on what information is presented to them. It essentially is hardcoded into their brains that they're the wrong gender, the wrong sex. There's a reason some in the psychological fields refer to it as a Gender Identity Disorder or Dismorphia. With that said, they obviously shouldn't be judged for it.

Err no. You are conflating different things. Muslim = Christian. Islamist = Evangelical I'm sure they would discriminate against Islamists just as much as they would against evangelicals. I.e. they discriminate against extremes as they feel those individuals would try to pass on some of their extreme beliefs in their teaching which is something universities don't want.

Its not discriminating based on religion, but on their teaching. They don't care about what religion they hold but rather how that will influence their teaching. If someone says they believe gays are an abomination, that the earth is only 6000 years old and scientists saying otherwise are frauds, then they don't want to take the risk that that individual will try to impart to those beliefs to his or her students. That their belief system is so strong that they cannot hold it in check when it comes to student interaction. Now if that individual had said I am a Christian and regularly attend mass then the academic body would not give a damn.
Just so we're clear here, this is mostly an American, partly a UK problem. This doesn't happen, for example, in Finland, at all, and I'd be surprised if it happened elsewhere in Europe either.
Then again, we don't live in a left vs right black vs white world here in Finland. Our congress consists of people from eight different parties, and there are three other parties in addition to those eight. When you've got party diversity like that, you've also got a diversity of ideals. People aren't just simply "liberal" or "conservative".
The whole dual party system and left wing vs right wing -system is a bit moronic anyway.
"Conservatives" don't go to school unless it is a bible college. I went to college, grad school/PHD and I never noticed this "persecution". Then again, high-school drops out don't go to college.
yes I read what he wrote and he was making a lame attempt to make an equivalence between the liberals and conservatives on college campuses and there isn't any equivalence. you don't have consevarives protesting, making asses out of them selves, beating on doors, pulling fire alarms, rushing the stage, intimidating attendents when liberals come to speak as we have seen over and over again what liberls do when a conservative comes to speak on college campuses
I just watched the movie 1984 again, its so creepy now compared to when i watched it 10 years ago........thats where liberals are taking us.

THis is the logical result of a society that abandoned objective knowledge or factual truth as a measure of an ideas merit.
Now this whole "every idea is of equal worth, I just want to have a discussion" has led to this.
Where an institution supposed to teach knowledge has to spend time discussing and disproving horseshit. Now you cant just have a biology class, you have to "talk about creationism' now you cant just talk about climate science, now you have to wade through all the anti science useless bullshit that oil corps KNOW isnt true, but has been adopted by conservatives as fact anyway.
THat's the problem with reducing a viewpoint to generalities or a catch all term.
Do you want a racist? A climate change denier? an Anti vaxxer? A young earth creationist? Any of those in an institution based on teaching scientific fact? Course you dont. But lump all of those together under "Conservative" (except for anti vaxx cuz a lot of em are liberal idiots) and all of a sudden it's discrimination against conservatives.
I dont know when scientific fact became a platform for ideological debate but it's a load of crap and it has got to stop.
Anyone wanna ignore all this shit and join my group?
