Harvard Introduces Third Gender

(AgapePress) - - Prospective applicants to prestigious Harvard Business School no longer have to be of the male or female gender. One pro-family leader in Washington, DC, is criticizing the school for legitimizing transgenderism.
Before completing an application, students looking to enter the Harvard Business School MBA program are asked to fill out an online profile that offers three choices of gender: female, male, or transgender. The form also asks prospective applicants if they would be interested in learning more about the school's "lesbian/gay/bisexual/transgender" community.
Bob Knight, director of the Culture and Family Institute (CFI) at Concerned Women for America, says "it's not compassionate" for Harvard to encourage people to reject their "God-given natures." But then Knight considers the source.
"I'm not surprised it's coming out of Harvard," he says, "because they've flirted with the idea that, in terms of sexuality, anything goes, and they've given intellectual respectability to it." Knight continues, sharing that he feels it is "harmful" that Harvard, one of the most prestigious colleges in America, now thinks there are three sexes instead of two. "That kind of thing trickles down to other institutions," he laments.
Transgenders are individuals who have changed their sex through surgery, or at least have tried to. The CFI director contends that people among that group are not likely to mark "transgender" on their Harvard profile, but rather the new sex they have adopted. Like the homosexual movement, the transgender movement is "picking up speed," says Knight.
"The foundation of the transgender movement is the homosexual activist movement," he explains, "because their interest lies in getting rid of the traditional morality of God-given division into two sexes, the uniting of those two sexes in marriage." And the homosexual and transgender agendas "militate" against that completely, he comments. "They say that's old, taboo, superstitious, [that] we have to get rid of that, and everybody can be whoever they want to be."
Knight says just a generation ago it would have been unthinkable for legislators to create civil unions, much less homosexual "marriage." Likewise, he says, it would have been unthinkable for transgenders to assert their rights to cross dress at work.
