Student Claims Texas State U Prof Told Class That Sex is Assigned at Birth
“I think that’s a little bit of a hump for some of us to get over, to see that we’re not born with a sex.”
This issue is doing serious harm to the left and Democrats, but they just can’t seem to let it go.
From the College Fix:
Texas State U. professor told my class ‘we’re not born with a sex,’ it’s assigned
When I signed up for Professor Michael Whitehawk’s sociology class at Texas State University, I hoped it would challenge me to look at society in new ways, and think critically.
But after hearing his lectures and seeing his slides, it was obvious that we were there to accept his one sided political view, not explore ideas or facts.
That’s especially concerning at a public university. For the 2024-25 school year alone, lawmakers approved $275 million in public funding for the Texas State University System.
And for next year, the legislature approved a $70 million increase — making it all the more fair to ask whether that money is going toward real education, or just reinforcing political agendas in the classroom.
In class, Whitehawk told us flat-out that biological sex itself is a social construct.
“First, we assign the sex category?” he told us. “The sex, male or female, is also assigned at birth. I think that’s a little bit of a hump for some of us to get over, to see that we’re not born with a sex. Sex is also socially constructed.”
One girl raised her hand and asked him, “So you’re saying biological sex and gender are separate?”
Whitehawk replied: “Yeah, and the simple explanation is that sex is biological and gender is social. And I’m sort of suggesting they’re both social. Even the concept of sex is social and a human convention. Because we understand that that binary isn’t even how biology works, it’s more of a continuum.”
That was only the beginning.

Follow the science, say DemoncRats. Yeah, except when they don’t like it, so they then distort reality.
“Because we understand that that binary isn’t even how biology works, it’s more of a continuum.”
Funny — unlike the aliens in Asimov’s “The Gods Themselves,” we’ve never needed more than a binary to reproduce.
It sounds like he’s making an argument for inclusion of the 0.00001% born with some type of intersex condition. But really he’s calling all of us intersex.
How can actually clever people persist in saying obviously wrong things like that?
What’s amusing is that to these folks, the sex that goes along with their meat dongles is merely “assigned,” but the sex whispered to them by a unicorn in a dream is “authentic.”
They have to justify their disorders and perversions.
The writer’s first mistake was taking a sociology class and expecting something other than propaganda. Sociology has been political indoctrination from its inception almost 200 years ago.
Is it science of the ‘trust the science’ type?
“Even the concept of sex is social and a human convention. Because we understand that that binary isn’t even how biology works, it’s more of a continuum.”
Basic biology: for humans (and mammals) there are two and only two gametes: sperm and egg. As humans, we have the machinery and plumbing to produce only one type of gamete. There is no continuum. No amount of cosmetic surgery or drugs or other “gender affirming care” alters that.
I’m curious: Do the doctors have to install the penis or vagina after they assign the child’s sex?
How can they tell through ultrasound before the child is born if the doctor assigns the sex at birth?
So confusing.
I especially like the meme where the expectant mother is on the ultrasound table, asking, “So it is a boy or a girl?” and the nurse answers, “We’ll let his kindergarten teacher decide that.”
The professor is 100% wrong. Sex is not assigned at birth. It is assigned at conception.
I’d gently offer that sex is not assigned at conception, it’s determined at conception. No one assigns anything.
Texas State U. is not generally regarded as the brightest academic beacon in the state, and Prof Whitehawk appears all-in on going all out to prove it.
No one with an IQ above lukewarm water goes into sociology. If he had any brains and wanted to be in an humanities field he would have chosen economics or philosophy.
There’s also literature, art and history.
teaching your k-12 also
thats why they dont care about what adults say
they are winning they are teaching the kids
the kids that you are paying for to be taught this
Anyone who is sending their children to a government school is complicit
My criminal law professor told my class that if you wanted to confuse the jury, have a sociologist as an expert witness.
Is that only homo sapiens or is the dog constructing the sex/gender of each of the puppies?
That comment alone makes that “teacher” a candidate to be fired. At BEST he is stupid. At worst he is deliberately lying to try to change the minds of students. I think the best thing students could do is start laughing when “teachers” say stupid things like that. Just laugh, out loud. When he stupidly asks why they are laughing, just laugh harder, then walk out of the class.
