In a letter sent to Alamo Colleges shortly after his dismissal, Varkey’s attorneys described him as a “devout Christian” who believes that “one should not attempt to erase or alter his or her sex” and that “absent of a compelling reason, one should not sterilize oneself.”

Dude was fired for other reasons. He is citing his religion as to why he can go on his opinion tangents in a science classroom.
No one is disputing sex characteristics are determined for most people by chromosomes, with Intersex being a notable exception. But that has zero bearing on someone medically transitioning. The characteristics you are born with, such as race or sex should not be the sole determination of what sort of life you are allowed to live.

All people. Intersex is still determined by chromosomes. That is science.
I think he should have skipped the Christian part. It is irrelevant. Nobody is altering their sex. That is impossible. A trans woman is still biologically a male based on sex. Their gender is woman. It is impossible with current technology to change your sex.
People should sterilize themselves as they see fit. I believe in body autonomy. Live your life as see you fit. If you want to transition from a man to a woman. As long as you are an adult, you should be allowed to do it. If you want to sterilize yourself for any reason and you are an adult, knock yourself out. If you want an abortion and you are an adult, there shouldn’t be any unreasonable restrictions.
If you can’t control your own body then how free are you?
According to the court case, he never brought his religion into the classroom. So it’s unfair to say he ranted in the classroom.
Does telling trans people they’re still a man or still a woman get your rocks off or something? Why is this an article you give two shits about? An adjunct teacher teaches a lesson from 50 years ago to people who aren’t transitioning isn’t news.
Who said anything about telling them? The article is about a teacher fired for teaching accurate biology.
I’m glad God rubber stamped it as “accurate”
What does God have to do with it? God was never discussed in the classroom.
Did you read the article?
Of course not, it’s fox news spewing anti-LGBTQ bullshit. I don’t hate myself.
Good for you? You didn’t read the article because it’s about a wrongful termination claim. If you don’t find the topic interesting then move on. If you do find the topic interesting, read the article and make a coherent statement.
