I don’t get angry very often. But I’m angry right now. On May 10th, I’m moving to Manitou Springs, Colorado, to teach all summer at Summit Ministries. I’m living in a cabin at the base of Pikes Peak, teaching a whopping two hours per week, and starting work on my third book. But, obviously, that’s not why I’m angry. I’m angry because I will be missing a very important event on May 22nd at UNC – Gomorrah, which was previously known as UNC- Greensboro, and is also sometimes referred to as UNC Gonorrhea.
The UNCG Speech and Hearing Clinics – and this is not a joke – will host the Transgender Communication and Wellness Conference, an event for healthcare professionals and transgender individuals, 8:30 a.m.-6 p.m. Saturday, May 22, in Elliott University Center.
The keynote speakers for this event will be Dr. Richard Adler, co-editor of “Voice and Communication Therapy for the Transgender/Transsexual Client: A Comprehensive Clinical Guide” (2006), and Mara Keisling, executive director of the National Center for Transgender Equality. These are the kinds of people who fight for equality by rejecting the notion that men’s and women’s restrooms can truly be “separate but equal.” You can thank these brave civil rights leaders the next time your little girl runs into a drag queen in a public restroom. The Guilford Green Foundation, The Adam Foundation and Replacements Ltd. have provided grants to support the conference, which means that it will not be fully subsidized by public tax dollars. The conference will feature discussions about transgender voice and communication issues and broader health and wellness issues in the context of the transgender community.
The registration fee is $95, but it is discounted to $50 for full-time UNCG students. That’s almost two for the price of one. I really like that. For years, I’ve recommended that doctors provide two-for-the-price-of-one sex changes for those wishing to simply swap genitalia with someone else in a single out-patient surgical process.
A limited number of scholarships are available for transgender individuals. The Adam Foundation’s support will defray the registration fee for 14 members of the local transgender community. But I think we should do more because I like to impose my morals on others in the name of diversity. Specifically, I think we should offer free four-year tuition waivers to students willing to mutilate their genitals. I know studying can sometimes be a sacrifice. But genital mutilation – now that’s a real sacrifice!
The conference is designed for members of the transgender community, speech-language pathologists, psychologists and psychiatrists, physicians and others, including university faculty and graduate students with an interest in transgender issues.
Transgendered attendees can be assured that no pathologist will say that voluntary genital mutilation is pathological. Psychologists and psychiatrists will refrain from judging people as mentally disturbed, unless, of course, they have a religious or moral objection to voluntary genital mutilation. Transgender individuals will have the opportunity to speak directly to healthcare professionals about their experiences and needs. Break-out groups will focus on feminine voice, spoken language, nonverbal communication and other topics. But, of course, I’ll not be there to offer the following health care advice to transgendered individuals: Voluntary genital mutilation is bad for your health!
And that’s too bad because my advice would have been free. One of the stated goals of the conference is to “expand the availability of professionals who are competent in transgender issues and to increase the presence of trusted and sound resources in the areas of voice and communication locally and nationally.”
But the real reason UNCG is hosting this conference is unstated: They want to surpass Brown University in the hopes of becoming the most hyper-sexualized left-wing campus in America.
To date, UNCG is doing a good job of it. And parents would do well to keep their children as far away from UNC Gomorrah as possible.

Mike S. Adams was born in Columbus, Mississippi on October 30, 1964. While a student at Clear Lake High School in Houston, TX, his team won the state 5A soccer championship. Mike Adams graduated from C.L.H.S. in 1983 with a 1.8 GPA. Mike Adams was ranked 734 among a class of 740, largely as a result of flunking English all four years of high school. After obtaining an Associate's degree in psychology from San Jacinto College, Mike Adams moved on to Mississippi State University where he joined the Sigma Chi Fraternity. While living in the fraternity house, his GPA rose to 3.4, allowing him to finish his B.A., and then to pursue a Master's in Psychology. In 1990, Mike Adams turned down a chance to pursue a PhD in psychology from the University of Georgia, opting instead to remain at Mississippi State to study Sociology/Criminology. This decision was made entirely on the basis of his reluctance to quit his night job as member of a musical duo. Playing music in bars and at fraternity parties and weddings financed his education. Mike Adams also played for free beer.
.
Upon getting his doctorate in 1993, Adams, then an atheist and a Democrat, was hired by UNC-Wilmington to teach in the criminal justice program. A few years later, Adams abandoned his atheism and also became a Republican. He also nearly abandoned teaching when he took a one-year leave of absence to study law at UNC-Chapel Hill in 1998. After returning to teach at UNC-Wilmington, Adams won the Faculty Member of the Year award (issued by the Office of the Dean of Students) for the second time in 2000.
.
After his involvement in a well publicized free speech controversy in the wake of the 911 terror attacks, Adams became a vocal critic of the diversity movement in academia. After making appearances on shows like Hannity and Colmes, the O'Reilly Factor, and Scarborough Country, Adams was asked to write a column for Townhall.com.
.
Today Mike Adams enjoys the privilege of expressing himself both as a teacher and a writer. Mike Adams is also an avid hunter and reader of classic literature. Mike Adams published his first book, Welcome to the Ivory Tower of Babel, in 2004. His second book, Feminists Say the Darndest Things: A Politically Incorrect Professor Confronts "Womyn" On Campus, was published in 2008.
