Printed books in universities are scams. They print new versions of book that is the same as it was, sometimes they just change the order and then teachers mention you need that very version to be able to follow the course but it really is the same book in a different order. So of course if there is a popular movement that advocates replacing the word woman for a meaningless terms they will jump on the occasion to print new books. Then when people realise that this gender affirmation doesn't (for most of them) make them any happier or actually make them worse, it will be another great opportunity to print another version of their books.
Here's a documentary about the gender affirmation made ~10 years ago. I think there is 6 parts to it. It is also available on Youtube but I recommend using Invidious
Brainwash documentary
Do you understand how ridiculous it sounds when you say "a gender dysphoria concept that has been around for hundreds of years is fake because colleges need to reprint books"?
This is the very essence of a disingenuous argument. A book does not dictate the absolute meaning of a concept, and likewise the motivation of printing a book does not invalidate the information therein.
Haven't made that claim sorry. I haven't been clear enough. There's an obvious trend to remove the word woman from books to be replace with people with such organs. Doesn't make gender disphoria false.
Why are you the way that you are?
