Texas A&M is banning #Plato, citing his “#GenderIdeology.”
Brittany Allen January 12, 2026
"Today, Texas A&M resumes classes for the spring semester—but a number of canonized texts will not be welcomed back to school. The public research university has lately been caught in the crossfire between state and stupid.
As The Texas Tribune has reported, faculty in the College of Arts and Sciences were informed just last week that 'a new system policy restricting classroom discussions of race and gender' is set to take effect today.
The policy, engineered and approved by the Texas A&M University Regents last November, requires that the school’s president sign off on every syllabus with an eye to scrubbing 'problematic' content. But the foes were loosely framed.
Under the new restrictions, gender ideology is defined as 'a concept of self-assessed #GenderIdentity replacing, and disconnected from, the biological category of sex.' Race ideology entails 'attempts to shame a particular race or ethnicity' or anything that 'promotes activism on issues related to race or ethnicity rather than academic instruction.'
As a European history professor pointed out at the time, this wording could effectively prohibit a professor from teaching about the Holocaust.
The regents used AI analysis software to audit syllabi for unapproved content. Thanks to this rude mech, 200 courses have been cancelled, stripped of core curricular credit value, or forced into revision.
The hammer came down over the weekend for assorted religion, film, ethnic studies, sociology, communications, and literature classes. And in a truly-beyond-parody move, a philosophy professor, Martin Peterson, was told to 'either remove ‘modules on race and gender ideology' ' from his course, or be reassigned to teach a different class entirely.
Most philosophy nerds will recognize the 'gender ideology' readings in question, which are lifted from the Symposium. The university apparently quibbled with Plato’s reference the the 'Myth of #Androgyne,' in which #Aristophanes describes three genders.
Most musical theatre nerds will also catch the reference—the same myth was called up in #JohnCameronMitchell and #StephenTrask’s epic ballad, 'The Origin of Love,”'from Hedwig and the Angry Inch.
Even as we note the rise of smoothbrain rhetoric sea to sea, the fact that Plato has been deemed inappropriate for an Introduction to Philosophy course is a surreal escalation of terms.
Meanwhile, A&M students are set to be deprived of so much recent world. Including but not limited to 'literature with major plot lines that concern #gay, #lesbian or #transgender identities,' #feminist and #queer film, or #race and #ethnicity as a subject…fullstop.
As Abby Monteil at them reports, these curricular restrictions have all trickled down from the Trump administration, which continues to dangle federal funding as a carrot for universities compliant with its agenda. We simply hate to see it.
As you go about your reading today, pour one out for the Aggies."

#introduction
here goes nothing; CD-Love is my cozy small allowlist-instance to try and explore some aspects of myself
certainly not new to fedi, please spare yourself tutorials on the network.
about me: i'm a... FTM guy i guess. living in the netherlands but don't come from here. for years have been holding on to a simple binary expression due to dysphoria and societal pressures. lately have done musing on things and decided my gender needs a DLC, and that i've been repressing the aspect of my life where i wanted to be an "effeminate man", or other words that are pretty much slurs that i don't want to and won't quote here. sounds harsh but little me didn't know better due to the environment i was raised in.
thus i stopped at the words bigender and androgyne. and at some point, when my body allows me to, i want to crossdress amplifying both my masculine traits and a feminine frame.
for now, that part of me remains solely online, hence also the feminine name and typically masculine pronouns and terms used.
i also do want to set an example that crossdressing is not just a fetish, it shouldn't be seen as only that and that it can be a part of someone's gender identity
outside of the musing, i sometimes draw or play on my 3DS or steam deck, although most of the time i lack the right energy to do so due to being in recovery. feel free to ask me for my pretendo friendcode! maybe we can play smash bros or mario kart.
i'm autistic, and got C-PTSD and probably some PTSD going on. that might explain some of my behaviors.
one day i should get back to making websites. i used to be somewhat active in indie web circles, but withdrew over time for mostly personal reasons.
feel free to ask me about anything regarding my interests or identity, and if you feel like following please read my bio!

Trying #Krita for black & white cartoons.
I've been thinking for a while I should redraw my "Androgynes are from Earth" #cartoon from c.2006, since I lost the original files in a computer malfunction not long after. So here it is, from memory though slightly tweaked. This is probably about ten times the resolution, but retains some of the rough appearance. The sort of thing we used to do for bog-standard printing in #zines .

"Il est toujours impressionnant et émouvant de constater chez un auteur une cohérence parfaite de la pensée … un emboitement magistral des idées, au travers de deux textes parfaitement différents. C'est le cas de Une chambres à soi et Des métiers pour les femmes de Virginia #Woolf. Le premier est un texte hautement littéraire, intime, solitaire et vertigineux. Le second est un propos plus spontané dans la forme mais plus doctrinal sur le fond, politique, et donc porteur des idées #féministes de l'autrice.
Si Virginia Woolf associe Une chambre à soi à la solitude créatrice des femmes, elle les invite à s'interroger aussi sur l'idée d’une communauté littéraire qui se situerait au-delà du genre. Elle les enjoint à tendre vers un idéal #androgyne, ou bien de perpétrer le meurtre de l'Ange du foyer dans Des métiers pour les femmes . Ce sont les deux faces d'un même Janus.
Pour #VirginiaWoolf, il est impératif de rappeler que si l'écriture est solitaire, la littérature est un bien universel dont la communauté féminine doit s'emparer sans appréhension.
#UneChambreàSoi et Des métiers pour les femmes constituent le socle d'une pensée éminente dont les #femmes, de Karen Blixen à Marguerite Duras… de Carson Mc Cullers à Annie Ernaux se sont emparées pour s'installer dans la #littérature à la place qui leur est due."

This is Jehanne D’Arc (Joan of Arc), patron saint, martyr, warrior, visionary and #androgyne person. I feel a particular affection for Jehanne’s uncompromising bravery in a time when a woman dressed in armour and directing military matters was a massive threat to the patriarchy’s dominance. The English murdered Jehanne, (calling her a witch and heretic, of course), and she was burned at the stake on 30 May 1431, aged nineteen.

So, an #introduction - I’m a #musician, mostly #singing songs about being #queer while banging around on #piano! I’m on a #uktour right now, you should come (dates in pinned post). By day I do boring software development stuffs.
Live in #yorkshire with my wife (oh no a #lesbian!). #Trans inclusive #feminist, obviously.
That enough hashtags? Alright then - my show’s the only one with the lyrics #demisexual #panromantic #polyamorous #androgyne… 🤣
