‘Gender Exploration’ Group Hosted by Community College Seeks to Encourage ‘Transitioning’

In an apparent move to encourage its students to swap their genders, a community college in San Diego is hosting a “gender exploration & transitioning group.”

According to a tip received through Young America’s Foundation’s Campus Bias Tip Line, the group meets bi-weekly in Palomar College’s “Pride Center” in order to build a “supportive community” for students who are “questioning gender identity or beginning the process of social and/or medical transitioning.”

Instead of providing vital resources to students who are clearly going through a mental health and identity crisis, Palomar College “affirms” the students’ psychotic fallacies and aims to help them discover a state of so-called “gender euphoria.”

The New Guard spoke with a staff member at the Pride Center to learn about what goes on during the meetings.

The session facilitator opens each meeting with students taking turns going around an “affirmation circle,” complementing certain aspects of each others’ make-believe “genders.”

Following that bizarre ritual, students work through a section of the 215-page “Queer & Transgender Resilience Workbook,” which provides dozens of “exercises” for them to complete.

For example, a “resilience practice” worksheet instructs students to “check off the words that fit who you see yourself as being.” The terms include “bigender,” “boi,” “cisgender,” “genderblender,” and “two-spirit,” just to name a few.

Another section trains students to craft an “elevator speech,” so that they can always have talking points at the ready for conveying their “gender identities” to others quickly and efficiently. 

Of course, conveying to others whether one is male or female should generally be self-evident based on appearance, so putting together an entire speech is certainly not going to be efficient at all.

Instead of coercing naive students to make these life-changing and detrimental decisions, Palomar College should return to teaching the truth.
