Johns Hopkins University Says A Woman Is A ‘Non-Man’ In New Glossary | Eastern North Carolina Now

    Johns Hopkins University has referred to a woman as a "non-man" in the school's new LGBTQ glossary, prompting backlash from critics.

    The prestigious Baltimore research university's LGBTQ glossary defined a lesbian as "a non-man attracted to non-men."

    "While past definitions refer to 'lesbian' as a woman who is emotionally, romantically, and/or sexually attracted to other women, this updated definition includes non-binary people who may also identify with the label," the definition adds.

    The entire glossary has since been taken down, pending review.

    Conservative commentators and gender ideology critics were quick to point out the absurdity in this definition from one of the country's most distinguished universities.

    "Lesbians are now officially squirrels," The Daily Wire's Ben Shapiro tweeted.

    "Harry Potter" author J.K Rowling, who has been an outspoken critic of gender ideology in recent years, tweeted her criticism as well.

    "Man: no definition needed. Non-man (formerly known as woman): a being definable only by reference to the male. An absence, a vacuum where there's no man-ness," Rowling wrote in her tweet.

    Some critics on social media questioned why "gay men" were still referred to as just "men."

    After criticism, the university took down the glossary to review its definitions and replaced it with an explanatory statement.

    "Upon becoming aware of the language in question, we have begun working to determine the origin and context of the glossary's definitions. We have removed the page from our website while we gather more information," the university said in its statement.

    The glossary was meant to serve only as an "introduction" to the range of LGBT identities, not "as the definitive answers as to how all people understand or use these terms," the university said.

    "Johns Hopkins strives to create a campus culture that is inclusive and welcoming for all gender identities, sexual orientations, experiences and viewpoints, and we are committed to ensuring Johns Hopkins is a place where LGBTQ people feel supported," the statement said.

    In recent years, critics have accused transgender activists of erasing women by defining female in reference to male and allowing men into women's spaces.

It has been far too many years since the Woke theology interlaced its canons within the fabric of the Indoctrination Realm, so it is nigh time to ask: Does this Representative Republic continue, as a functioning society of a self-governed people, by contending with the unusual, self absorbed dictates of the Woke, and their vast array of Victimhood scenarios?

  Yes, the Religion of Woke must continue; there are so many groups of underprivileged, underserved, a direct result of unrelenting Inequity; they deserve everything.

  No; the Woke fools must be toppled from their self-anointed pedestal; a functioning society of a good Constitutional people cannot withstand this level of "existential" favoritism as it exists now.

  I just observe; with this thoughtful observation: What will happen "when the Vikings are breeching our walls;" how do the Woke react?
