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 saysProfessors 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.
