Baptist school expels transgender student

[Ahimsa]

RIVERSIDE, Calif. (ABP) – California Baptist University expelled a transgender student who listed her gender as female on her application form and appeared on an MTV reality show saying she is biologically male.
…
Javier said she knew Cal Baptist, which is located three blocks from her home, was a religious institution but did not realize it is affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention.

Well, now you know.

Javier was on an April episode of “True Life” entitled “I’m Passing as Someone I’m Not.”

:nope:

Well, that pretty much says it. She identifies as female, and lives as a woman. So why go on that show proclaiming that she that isn’t female? No wonder she was expelled for falsifying her application.

Despite the expulsion, Javier doesn’t regret her MTV appearance. She is buoyed by the support and positive comments she has received from about 200 people, most of them straight, through chats on the street or on Facebook.

“I’m a happier person now,” she said.

Okay, then.

Not a whole to say to say about this story. Either she lied on the application or she lied on the TV show. Either way, it’s a private school and they can admit whom they desire. That said, I agree with the school; even at the risk of sounding hateful.

I think s/he’s originally from the Philippines, and went to a Catholic school there, so s/he had little notion of the sexual mores of American Southern Baptists.
