those organizations are still there

Very much so. Impact, Christian sororities and fraternities, Breakaway, etc.

Authentic Christian community is easy to find in Aggieland if you're looking for it as a student.

It's very impressive indeed. Both my kids that go there have flourished spiritually and personally. Impact was a game changer.

If you're getting your impression about campus from the Battalion and similar, you're not getting a good one.

Relying on the Battalion to provide an accurate gauge of the climate on campus is like relying on Donald Trump to give an accurate review of a Taylor Swift concert.

Donald Trump HATES Taylor Swift!

The article

Since when is it the university responsibility (tax payers) job to provide gender affirming care?

Hell my buddy's son couldn't even get in to treat his pinkeye

But the authentic Christian community doesn't get front page pagan news exposure like the trans-dudes.

Right on

Just let everyone live. Agree with all school policies and just really don' t have to take issues on anything. Nothing is a threat to us. Just let live and enjoy.

Reminds me of a comedian who really nailed it…

The real problem is today's cross dressing freaks completely gave up on doing it well.

There was a time they really committed to their craft. It took some real detective skills to figure out they weren't a woman. Todays trannies just look like ugly dudes wearing the wrong clothes and makeup.


Put in the f'ing work.

There are little sects. Nothing more. The Batt has become more and more liberal and pushes stuff out like this to try to normalize it.

---

The batt has essentially always been a far left/liberal rag.

And as far as mental illnesses, when I was a freshman (1993) there was even a girl in one of the dorms around the commons (Krueger/Mosher etc, can't remember the specifics) who gave birth and then threw the baby into a dumpster/trash receptacle. Very sad.

It's a big school, and has been, with kids going through a lot of challenges so sad/tragic stories have/always will be around.

Mosher. I'm pretty sure it was Mosher.

I don't give a **** what anyone wants to be, wants to do with their own body, or what their opinions are on the subject. All I ask is they don't somehow involve me, keep it to themselves, and stop shouting it from the rooftops. If you don't want to hear dissenting opinions, then keep your damn business to your damn self.

one step from

THEY ARE THE AGGIES THE AGGIES ARE THEY/THEM
AS INCLUSIVE AS AGGIES CAN BE

Serious post, they are Aggies of course, but they are their birth gender.

This has nothing to do with the article, I'm here for the quack shack stories.
When I was at A&M, my boyfriend and I at the time were making out at research park. I got bitten by a spider. I went to the quack shack to get it looked at. He spotted my neck and said," you have another spider bite on your neck". The doctor couldn't distinguish between a spider bite and a hicky. What a scholar.

Realistically, how many trans people are at A&M, a dozen?

We don't have an office catering to people that are 7'4" and taller, why do we need special services for any other incredibly rare demographic?

I think we are burying the story. Texas A&M offers a degree in LGBTQ Studies. Really, what value does that create? What job, except an activist? That is highway robbery by TAMU.

Not a degree. A 15-hour minor.

The older I get, the more I am in agreement with you.

There are so many things on the planet that I don't understand or agree with. Democrats, greenie weenies, people who drive cars and not trucks, small dog owners, Catholics, .... It is possible to not get worked up over it and even have relationships with these people without agreeing or accepting anything.

Personally, rther than wring my hands over what some dude/dudette on campus is doing with their body, I prefer to spend all that time raising my kids in what I consider to be the 'right' way so that they don't make decisions that I would consider "wrong". What the OP guy is doing is none of my concern. I don't care. Stay busy, take care of your family, turn off the news, and you won't be bothered by such things. We aren't on this planet very long, wasting time worrying about stolen elections, gays, trannies, potheads...no one has time for that...it's fluff....distractions from what is important.

Bring back asylums.

---

We talk about this a lot in the mental health community.

Asylums and long term hospital stays cost money. Insurance didn't want to pay.

I believe it was in the 80s/early 90s that insurance companies started pushing back, forcing inpatient facilities to turn into an in and out processing unit. Patients need longer stays in order to receive actual treatment and therapy.

so much barf

I work in a mental health hospital as a clinical therapist and a lot of trans people come here for help.

Glad to hear it. They do need help.

You can get it in the same building as your journalism degree.

If a sinkhole swallowed up Bolton Hall, I don't think most people would be too upset.

And because I'm sure this will get flagged, I'm not wishing for it to happen or wanting anyone to get hurt. It is purely a tongue in cheek comment in reference to fact that all of those are worthless areas of study which do nothing but produce people who are more concerned with pronouns, supporting Hamas, or joining antifa.

Gender studies First Day of class

Me: Raises hand

Prof: Yes?

Me: I've studied this and there are only 2 genders, male and female. Please mark me as an A. Peace out.

Prof: See me after class. You will be sent for reeducation.

Sidestepping the issue here, but you would have to be bat**** crazy + have an IQ below 80 to get your complex "gender affirming care" at freakin beutel. Beutel is fine for your annual flu shot any maybe for an antibiotics prescription if your physician parents told you that you likely have a bacterial infection, but anything more complex than that and you're playing Russian roulette with 5 chambered.
