A student has come forward claiming a professor gave her a failing grade for using the term “biological women”. Olivia Krolczyk was studying feminism for her Women’s Gender Studies Project when she decided to research female athletes. Because of the fact that biological male “transgender” athletes have infiltrated women’s sports, Krolczyk used the phrase “biological women”. However, to her dismay, her professor rejected the term, stating that it’s “exclusionary”.

Krolczyk posted her grading sheet with the professor’s comments in a now-viral TikTok video, revealing that the professor said her proposal was “solid” but that “the terms ‘biological women’ are exclusionary and are not allowed in this course as they further reinforce heteronormativity[.]”. The professor even went so far as to label her “transphobic”, accusing her of promoting “TERF” ideology.
It is appalling to see such extreme political correctness infiltrate our universities. Krolczyk had only described scientific reality, which is that biological sex is a fundamental part of the human experience, and ignoring this truth on the pretext of “inclusion” is both dishonest and misleading. The professor’s comments indicate that she has bought into the postmodern idea of gender as a “social construct”, denying basic biological realities.
The consequences of such falsehoods have rippled into the real world, where biological males who identify as transgender women are dominating in women’s sports, dislodging deserving women from their hard-earned positions. Townhall covered numerous examples, with athletes, beauty influencers, beauty pageant winners, and foreign leaders all being hailed as women during Women’s History Month. It’s propaganda like this that corrupts the honest pursuit of knowledge and threatens the integrity of academic institutions. It’s high time for universities to abandon this flawed ideology and reclaim their commitment to pursuing truth in all its forms.
