"Applicants can choose male, female, trans male/trans man, trans female/trans woman, gender *****/gender non-conforming and “different identity” to describe their “gender identity.


The alterations being made to admissions forms and University facilities in order to accommodate “gender identity” began when UC President Janet Napolitano formed a council to advise her on LGBT issues in 2014. Napolitano previously served as Homeland Security Advisor under President Barack Obama."

Funny, the language filter on City Data actually censored one of the UC system gender choices.

Good, that's a sign of progress. Thank goodness we no longer live in the cookie-cutter, apple pie, hypocritical America of the 1950s.

This country was a lot closer to the Founding Father's future vision for us back in the 1950's before the hippie weirdo drugged out counter culture of the 1960's and beyond. These brilliant men are likely spinning in their graves wondering how we could go so wrong so fast.

We went from being the envy of the world and the greatest country in history, to what we are today.

Undoubtedly, with statements like yours, that is all a lost concept.

Ah yes. The Founding Fathers. The same guys who envisioned that all white male landowners should have the right to vote ... AND NO ONE ELSE!

As a mixed race woman who rented for much of my adult life, I'm okay with deviating from their vision.

Your simplistic retort is barely worthy of a response. Clearly you are devoid of historical knowledge to know what their thinking was for the time, and what they envisioned for the future. The myopic attempt to look at them with a modern day PC lens is your undoing.
If you really care to educate yourself, read their personal writings (i.e. Federalist Papers) and their intent beyond the limitations of their times.

On a side note, I doubt they expected us to turn out exactly a certain way, as any choice of different roads could put us on various paths. However I think they would have hoped we would wind up in the general area they may have projected.
The great words in our governing document (when interpreted correctly) has allowed many positive things to evolve over time. Undoubtedly some of those things we might both agree upon.
So despite being brilliant yet flawed men, they creating the most free form of self governance with a Constitutional Republic.
They still would have expected us to keep to those ideals which would allow us to prosper and remain free of government tyranny.
