UW-Madison ‘Inclusive STEM’ panelist says gender binary is ‘eugenic construct’
“The sex binary originated as a eugenic construct,” Sam Sharpe, a teaching instructor from Kansas State University, said at a gender studies panel at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Sharpe (pictured) gave a presentation titled “Facilitating Intersex Embodiment Through Inclusive STEM Pedagogy” at the Women’s and Gender Studies Consortium conference last Friday, April 12.
The instructor uses “they/them” pronouns and “is a transgender and intersex peer support worker, researcher, advocate, and educator.” Sharpe is also a “drag performer” according to the instructor’s profile at the Eating Recovery Center.
The College Fix attended the event, but the organizers banned all media from taking photos and recording audio and video. Recording is prohibited throughout the entire three-day conference held at the publicly funded university.
“Through collaboration with feminist studies scholars, I learned that the idea of a discrete sex binary did not originate from validated biological inquiry but from cultural prejudices validated by eugenics and subsequently enshrined into a self-perpetuating ideology, ” Sharpe further stated.
The presentation’s description states that, “… STEM educators and clinicians have an ethical obligation to challenge the portrayal of intersex as a biological oddity, humanize the way they communicate and teach about sex, and support the work of intersex rights movements toward facilitating the possibility for authentic intersex embodiment.”
“In contrast, a feminist approach to teaching sex diversity must actively address and disrupt these hegemonic ideas of a sex binary,” the presentation states.
Sharpe’s presentation was part of a panel titled “Embodiment and Well-Being in STEM” that consisted of two 15-minute presentations, a 30-minute panel, and a Q&A session.
In the talk, Sharpe recommended STEM educators provide examples of sex diversity when teaching biology, for example other species with more than two sexes like some fungi and sex-switching clown fish.
“We can situate variation in sex traits alongside other forms of human biological variation such as height and eye color,” Sharpe stated.

What utter hogwash.
“The instructor uses “they/them” pronouns and “is a transgender and intersex peer support worker, researcher, advocate, and educator.” Sharpe is also a “drag performer” according to the instructor’s profile at the Eating Recovery Center.”
Hunh, overachiever! No time for sleep.
What an eedjit.
Penises, testes, vaginas and uteruses are eugenic constructs? The instructor is certifiably insane.
“Penises, testes, vaginas oh my!
Okay, the first HUGE mistake was “feminist studies scholars”. Ain’t no such thing. They’re called “bullsh*t artists” anywhere else.
Holy cow, I love this line.
“These dumb broads over here said “because I said so”, so that is how it is!”
Isn’t that the biggest line of BS ya’ ever saw? I don’t know how anyone could even take that line of male bovine excrement seriously! No such thing as a “feminist studies scholar”, and the rest is just Chat-GPT created gobbledygook.
Has Mr. Sharpe never heard of DNA?
Wasn’t DNA discovered by white males?
The discovery of DNA is attributed to Swiss scientist Friedrich Miescher, who identified it in 1868. However, the molecular structure of DNA was later elucidated by James Watson, Francis Crick, Rosalind Franklin, and Maurice Wilkins in 1953.
All white. Mostly male.
Biology says otherwise you dumb bimbo.
Feminist studies is another “discipline” that should be s-canned. Useless. Illogical. Bogus.
No one person or ideology has done more to devalue, degrade and disadvantage the lives of billions of women than Feminism.
Eugenics was a big Progressive project in the 1920’s and 30’s — so much so that a European polemicist consulted with them on how to adopt their methods to solve a problem he was having at the time. Yes, you guessed correctly. One Adolph Hitler, a natural ally of white supremacist Democrats, now as then.
Just to elaborate a bit it was a project in the US,
Yeah. What an embarrassment it was for the proggies.
They memory holed it fast.
But not completely enough.
Funny thing about the German corporal from Austria. Look at him. He does not exactly fit the image of the Aryan Superman himself, does he?
None of the founding socialists who championed the downtrodden workers were downtrodden workers. They were elite trust=funders.
“The sex binary originated as a eugenic construct”
Damn skippy.
It’s eugenic, malgenic, and all around every type of genic.
And it’s the ONLY one that is.
None of the other combinations result in progeny AT ALL.
Cue Red Forman: “Dumbass!”
Sam Sharpe is “a transgender and intersex peer support worker, researcher, advocate, and educator. They have a PhD in biology and are currently a staff member with InterConnect and a professor of Social Transformation Studies.”
So, a mentally ill person teaching a nonsense major is considered to be some sort of authority on anything. To me, this same person is nothing more than someone getting a free ride on a trend.
“Social Transformation Studies”. Gads. I’ll look back on my days in college as a telecommunications and film major and think to myself that maybe I didn’t take such a nonsense major after all compared to this nonsense.
I drove through Madison once. Even the air was leftist.
In 1969 I was supposed to go to a model UN in Madison. Our attendance was cancelled because the tear gas wafting through the city was too prevalent. It was left over from the latest Anti Vietnam riots.
In the fierce competition for academic craziest, these loons have clearly broken into the lead. Universitis is a degenerative neuro/cognitive disorder that appears to arise from excessive exposure to idiots posing as intellectuals. Trying too hard to take them seriously can induce dissonance with objective reality to such an extent that any rational thought triggers intense anxiety or rage. Good news is that the effects eventually fade once the victim escapes the toxic environment. Most kids graduate sooner or later and recover with time unless they stay and are absorbed.
