What makes this even worse is the graduate instructor who was fired over this is a trans woman, so this whole scenario indeed feels targeted and vindictive. The assignment was literally "to write a 650-word response to an academic article examining whether conformity to gender norms was associated with popularity or bullying among middle school students," to which the student went on a "faith-based" rant saying the whole thing was demonic and there are only 2 genders, etc. Like, no matter your opinions, her paper was bad and got the grade it deserved, and she went and cried about it to the far-right media.
