Maine university in uproar after professor insists there are only 2 sexes

By Thomas A. Smith

Students at the University of Southern Maine are in meltdown after a professor at the college accurately insisted there were only two sexes.

Education professor Christy Hammer made the remarks on Sept. 7 in front of graduate students in her class Creating a Positive Learning Environment, sparking intense backlash. Only one other student in the class reportedly agreed with Hammer s assertion of biological reality, the Bangor Daily News reported.

Elizabeth Leibiger, a non-binary student in the class said the claim made her feel under personal attack.

I let her know I didn t think she was qualified to teach a class about positive learning environments, said Leibiger, according to Fox News. It s the ultimate irony.
