Dr. Z Nicolazzo, Assistant Professor, has been at NIU since summer 2015. Ze teaches courses on college student development, postsecondary access, and diversity, equity, and culture. Dr. Nicolazzo’s research centers on trans* collegians, with a particular emphasis on trans* student resilience and kinship-building. Dr. Nicolazzo has published in a variety of scholarly and practitioner-focused publications, including the Journal of LGBT Youth, Journal of Diversity in Higher Education, About Campus, Journal of Critical Scholarship on Higher Education and Student Affairs, and TSQ: Transgender Studies Quarterly.

Dr. Nicolazzo’s research focuses on mapping gender across collegiate contexts. Hir specific areas of interest include: gender in higher education, particularly the experiences of trans* collegians; college student activism; and intersectionality, particularly students’ experiences of the intersections of race, disability, and gender identity. Dr. Nicolazzo also writes about the use of alternative methodologies, epistemologies, and representations of knowledge.

You missed my point, retard. Liberal facade PR is not championing, LGBT teens are ostracized daily.

>>9431893
Well I'd say a gay person in Iran or a Yezidi living in the Islamic State is a bit more oppressed than a transexual living in a society that bends over backwards to accommodate them

>>9431887

Trans people aren't being shot. There's a whole industry devoted to catering to their delusions and making society more "inclusive."

>treating people with respect

Why do I have to treat people who are obviously mentally ill with respect? That's sjw talk. You never explained what "humanity" is and why it compels us to act a certain way. Humans have been around for ~200,000 years and "trans acceptance" has only been around for about 50. It's obviously more human to be a reactionary shitlord than it is to be an sjw.

Cool, I'll drop George Sand, that white male shitlord, from my list of to reads. Gonna pick up Evelyn Waugh instead.

Your premise is false though. LGBT is clearly championed in the public realm. Religion and faith are ostricized and made fun of publicly, not lgbt or trans. The LGBTBBQQWERTY movement is incredibly prevelant in the media. The propaganda telling us these people are mentally sound is on every street corner buddy.

It's not that odd when you realize that the media and educational institutions in the US are basically propaganda organizations designed to further the liberal cause.

Have you honestly ever heard a name with more privilege attached? Okay, maybe Radclyffe Hall, that white exploiter of lesbians, deserves to be shot full of prussic acid first, but it's practically a coin flip between a female with internalized misogyny denigrating beautiful female bodies with titles like Vile Bodies, and a male shitlord like Radclyffe trying to neg women into threesomes through threats of kidnapping with titles like The Well of Loneliness. I think Evelyn could have a break if someone hurt her as a child, but Hall deserves no mercy.

>>9432008
> appeal to authority

My whole argument is that authority is using propaganda to attempt to normalize mental illness and convince people that mutilating your body in an attempt to sate the whimsy of your mental disorder is healthy and natural.

Academia and the media have both become leftist propaganda arms in the west.

OMG thank you! Finally someone willing to say no to George Eliot and his creepy pedo shit. #burnit

It pisses me off so much this happens even in genre lit. Who the fuck is James Tiptree Jnr to tell girls about what science might look like in the future? Did he think women couldn't write science fiction so he had to write it for us? Shitlord.

>>9431855

Picking up Mme Satin and Alice Addertongue's works now. Been ignoring female writers too long, but I normally only read pre-1900 so it's hard to find them. Is it okay Addertongue's American? I'm sure she couldn't have gotten far being a woman in 1700s America, so it's not like she has privilege to check.

>>9432121
I never said society is, I said the media and Hollywood are. They are the propaganda arms of the left alongside non STEM academia. Despite constantly being bombarded by leftist propaganda Trump still won, that just means that the propaganda wasn't effective enough. It's funny to watch the left double down with garbage like the new Nye show though, they are just turning more and more neutrals right wing.

Despite propaganda efforts it is natural to recognize degeneracy, it's why the left is losing influence.

>>9432166
>Is it okay Addertongue's American? I'm sure she couldn't have gotten far being a woman in 1700s America, so it's not like she has privilege to check.
Yeah she probably got raped by white males, she's fine.

>>9431899
Seems like they're treated as heros these days for their degenerate behavior. Undeservingly of course.

>>9431639
But white males write the best books

>>9432070
>Radclyffe Hall
You should get Adela Quebec's novel The Girls of Radclyffe Hall, instead of reading that white het male garbage. It's far less prurient, and returns a female voice to lesbianism. It's harder to find copies of it though than Well of Loneliness because the patriarchy keeping women off the shelves.

I´m sure you´re as much against rampant SJW´s as most sane humans are, and thanks for being neutral about the whole issue. I see too many contrarians not admitting issues that are evident in whatever context, just because of their conviction that everything which is championed by those SJW is by default false.
I´m not even sure what the problem is in admitting that transgenders have it rather difficult while in school or society.

We could both come up with a list of those who have it ´harder´ than the average joe, but most schizophrenics do not have it hard because of bullying, or other such sort things.

Do you think the study cited is negligible?

>>9432316

Just saying mental illnesses bring with them issues, especially one as weird and blatant as transsexualism which has a visual aspect to it.

Dude...

It's transsexuals not trannies -_-

>>9432417
Instead of linking to a BBC article, could you point me to the study, which I´m sure you´ve read?
Mental illnesses indeed bring trouble - as do differing from the norm, evidently. Do you think that a whole profession would be okay with a `mental illness` as you brand transsexualism to slip by the minds of all those psychiatrists and/or psychologists? There has been a multitude of academic research regarding the treatment and experience of transgenders, why do you have difficulty admitting this? It´s a shame letting your ideology lead you instead of the evidence, if you can poke holes in the methodology used in the study; please do so, but you´re doing nothing else at this point but shouting.

If these respondents are anonymous, how on earth are you going to check if any of the claims were true?

> Sandy E. James, Jody L. Herman, Susan Rankin, Mara Keisling, Lisa Mottet, and Ma'ayan Anafi

All 'scientists' were female.

This study is as worthless to society as trannies are.

>>9432461
If these respondents are ID´d, how are you going to know if the claims are true considering they are reporting about their experience? Granted, I agree that they ought to define ´verbal abuse´ and such terms considering it blends the overall picture, but other than that, the anonymous reporting bit matters little. People can lie regardless, you know.

I expected better than this from you /lit/. Both sides need to fuck off.
