This is a blathering article that goes everywhere yet nowhere. The author seems to primarily use it as a soapbox to rail against increased inclusion of minority voices in the sciences, and the bumps in that road. She has cherrypicked several stories as if they can support a theory of wider corruption of scientific education. For example, the story of a trans man losing his child due to a medical records error is tragic, but the author spins it as an example of the grim future that is to come if medicine attempts to correct decades of poor treatment of trans patients. Not so: charts only need to distinguish sex from gender identity. The author picks on a black-culture astrology program as though it will render students incapable of ever learning astrology—even if that particular program lacks any merit, it won't be the downfall of western society that the author makes it out to be. My last bone to pick is that the author was born in Britain and returned to Britain in her teens, and so "the America I grew up in," while factually true, is a strained statement that seems to have been included to enable a British author to more effectively tug on American heartstrings. This author appears to be a member of Britain's cadre of virulently transphobic "journalists."
