University Of Texas At Austin Hosts ‘LGBTQIA’ Allyship Training, Warns Of ‘Heterosexual Privilege’

The University of Texas at Austin will host workshops on “affirming LGBTQIA+ people” and LGBT allyship, which warn of “heterosexual” and “monosexual” privilege.

The university’s Gender and Sexuality Center hosts a number of different workshops for students, staff, faculty, and administrators, which “use an intersectional approach to foster and develop allyship practices that center affirming people of color as necessary for affirming women and LGBTQIA+ people.”

The center will host two workshops next month: “Affirming LGBTQIA+ People: Interpersonal Advocacy” on August 1 and “Affirming LGBTQIA+ People: Organizational Advocacy” on August 3.

The site provides several workshop materials, including one form on “Heterosexual and Monosexual Privilege.” The document lists a total of 44 supposed privileges, including, “I can choose to be in a polyamorous relationship without being accused of reinforcing stereotypes against my sexual-identity group.” Another portion of the list reads “I can easily find representations of people of my sexual-identity group.”

The Gender and Sexuality Center also hosts one workshop titled, “Histories of & Accountability to Trans Feminisms,” which features a list of terms associated with “Transfeminism.” It defines the word “transfeminism” itself as “a movement by and for trans women who view their liberation to be intrinsically linked to the liberation of all women and beyond.”

It also defines “transmisogyny” as “The intersection of transphobia and misogyny that systematically targets trans women” and “misogynoir” as “The intersection of racism, anti-Blackness, and misogyny that Black women experience.”

The term “sexism” is defined as “the systematic, institutional, pervasive, and routine mistreatment of women and femme people of all genders.”

The center also hosts numerous other workshops, including, “From Allyship to Advocacy: Supporting Transgender Communities,” “Intersectionality & Allyship,” and “Working Towards Gender Justice.”

Other resources from the center include a document titled “Affirming Asexuality” and “Affirming Transgender Students and Colleagues In Classrooms and Workplaces,” which tells teachers to “use gender inclusive language” and to “avoid statements like: ‘good morning, ladies and gentlemen.’”

The Gender and Sexuality Center also directs students who identify as transgender to University Health Services, which provides cross-sex hormone therapy.

Other state universities also host workshop programs similar to those at the University of Texas, Austin. The Daily Wire recently revealed that Ball State University, a public institution in Indiana, holds “trans safe zone” workshops, which also lament “cisgender privilege.”

Widow Of Obama Family Chef Speaks Out After Husband Found Dead

The widow of former President Barack Obama’s personal chef sent out a tribute to her late husband after he was found dead on Monday in a pond near the Obama family estate in Martha’s Vineyard.

Authorities said divers recovered the body of Tafari Campbell, 45, from the Edgartown Great Pond after a paddle boarding incident in which he was seen getting into the water, struggling to stay on the surface, and submerging without resurfacing.

“My heart is broken,” Sherise Campbell, Tafari’s wife, said in an Instagram post on Tuesday. “My life and our family’s life is forever changed. Please pray for me and our families as I deal with the loss of my husband.”

The message came from an account for Sweet Sage, a Washington, D.C., metropolitan-area baking and catering business owned by Sherise Campbell.

A joint statement from Barack Obama and his wife Michelle Obama called Tafari Campbell a “beloved part of our family” and a “talented sous chef at the White House” whom they invited to continue working for them upon leaving the Executive Residence in early 2017.

“He’s been part of our lives ever since, and our hearts are broken that he’s gone,” their statement said. “Today we join everyone who knew and loved Tafari – especially his wife Sherise and their twin boys, Xavier and Savin – in grieving the loss of a truly wonderful man.”

The Massachusetts State Police (MSP) said a joint-agency search operation got underway after Martha’s Vineyard Police and firefighters responded to a call at 7:46 p.m. on Sunday about a male paddle boarder who disappeared in the pond. An initial statement from the agency said another paddle boarder was with Campbell and witnessed him go under the water.

With the help of side-scan sonar from a boat, divers were able to recover the body approximately 100 feet from the shore at a depth of about 8 feet on Monday morning, MSP said in a second statement. The agency also said an investigation into the fatality was being conducted by the State Police Detective Unit for the Cape and Islands District and Edgartown Police.

A third release from MSP identified Campbell as the deceased paddle boarder and described the drowning as an “accident.” The agency additionally noted that Barack and Michelle Obama were not “present” at the residence at the time of the incident.
