A recent “bias report” out of the University of Minnesota included a student’s complaint that the apparently triggering term “mothers” had been used in campus grant proposals, as opposed to the more inclusive phrase “lactating individuals.”
The complaint was one of several that were lodged via the university’s “Bias Response and Referral Network,” as reported at the College Fix.
“Lactating individual” is one of the many terms spawned from the transgender movement as a means to include women who identify as men and then give birth.
Three of the 100 reports of bias between July 2024 and March 2026 referenced the same offender, who was either a graduate student or professor.
The College Fix reported that a graduate student reported the anonymous writer for using the offensive language despite it being “fixed” after the initial faux pas.
Other complaints involved a student reporting a professor with a hearing disability for having a hearing disability, someone flipping over a “rainbow safe space” doormat and a street evangelist outside campus claiming that there are only two sexes: males and females.
Call the outrage police: Someone at UMinn called moms ‘mothers’ instead of ‘lactating individuals.’https://t.co/buJ7t23WsT
