Harvard Faculty Chair Says Fire Professors Who Oppose ‘Gender-Affirming Care’
“There’s a particular place in hell for academics who use their academic expertise and power to distort and do violence to people in the world”
The left cries that Trump is committing a purge, but the truth is that they’re fine with that as long as they’re the ones doing it.

Fire professors who oppose ‘gender-affirming care,’ Harvard faculty chair says
Professors who are critical of “gender-affirming care” should be fired and lose their academic titles, a Harvard University professor and faculty chair recently said.
“There’s a particular place in hell for academics who use their academic expertise and power to distort and do violence to people in the world,” Professor Timothy McCarthy told Washington Square News. The New York University student newspaper interviewed McCarthy for his thoughts about two professors at the school who are affiliated with groups that are critical of surgical and chemical interventions for gender dysphoria.
Two medical advocacy groups, including one criticized by McCarthy, told The College Fix the professor’s “approach would suppress valid scientific inquiries to enforce ideological alignment” and result in “disastrous consequences for the kids caught up in this mess.”
McCarthy told WSN that any professor, whether at Harvard or elsewhere, who is a member of organizations that are critical of “gender-affirming” medical treatments, including Therapy First and Genspect, should face dismissal.
The professor “said that while a level of suspicion and inquiry into medical practices is healthy, the purpose of questioning the validity of gender-affirming care is oftentimes intended to ‘poison the waters’ and raise concern around the common practice,” WSN reported.
McCarthy also told the outlet “that the tactics employed by organizations like Therapy First and Genspect are part of a longer history of spreading misinformation about trans identity.”
These groups favor talk therapy to explore “pathological” roots of gender dysphoria over “affirming” treatments like hormone therapy, WSN reported.
The Fix asked McCarthy via email for any additional context to these quotes and whether he believes professors should not be hired if they are critical of surgeries or drugs for transgender minors.
“I see what you’re doing here—it’s a tired, ancient playbook—and I hope you know that you have picked a fight with the wrong veteran of these culture wars,” McCarthy wrote in response.

How about we fire professors who advocate for suppressing free speech rights!
Wait a minute I thought progressives were now all in for free speech? Right whoops I forgot they are all in for violence promoting leftist causes to suppress other people’s rights, which to them is the only kind of free speech. It’s hard to keep up, sometimes.
How about they fire faculty who advocate castrating boys (including chemical castration) and surgically mutilating and sterilizing girls?
“There’s a particular place in hell for academics who use their academic expertise and power to distort and do violence to people in the world”
When I read this quote, I thought the speaker was condemning PRO-mutilation academics.
Instead, the opposite.
Bizarro World!
the left was neverrrrrr for free speech
they only wanted the speech they agreed with
hannity and fox and alll the rest have it wrong when they say
what happened to the old dme party??
fools!!!
the old dem party did the action but kept it close to the vest
now the blmplo aoc squads have left no doubt what they have always been about
government over the people
I had to look that joker up. Classic Ivy League elitist defense when he knows that more recent data showed a detrimental effect of trans surgery on patients with gender dysphoric disorder. In other words, the surgery didn’t work as intended. This Dr. McCarthy (how apropos) is saying that anyone who disagrees with his preposterous nonsense shouldn’t be hired or promoted. Figures he would try the “appeal to authority” fallacy to cover up his lunacy.
