> You seriously dropped out because you didn't like one class?

No. The university added other "studies" courses to my requirements that contributed to my decision. After taking gender studies, I knew I could not tolerate the other "studies" courses the university was suddenly demanding—which were not required when I first started.

> what happened with your education and/or career after you dropped out?

I still have 8 classes left. Nothing happened to my career.

> And what precisely do you mean by "castigated," in your specific case?

One of our guest speakers was a man with autogynephilia—a man who derives sexual pleasure from dressing like a woman.

In a follow-up discussion, I committed the "sins" of referring to him as a man, and saying things like he is not a woman, and there are only two sexes.

My instructor and some students went scorched earth on me over these elementary facts. They made it quite clear that the only acceptable narrative was that, because he "identifies" as a woman, he is a woman.

This is just one example of the kind of "thinking" that went on in this course. I don't like it when I'm told what I must think. As I said before, that's indoctrination, not education.

> I have a hard time believing this story.

Why? It's all true.
