RE: Rutherford first transgender Department head. Hamilton Spectator news item 10 July 21.
After listening for years about the need for diversity and about the unwarranted dominance of white men in positions of authority, what does McMaster do? Instead of hiring another white man to head its Psychology Department, it hires and ersatz white man! In this case, a transgendered white man. And the public is supposed to be distracted by the fact that the white man isn’t really a “man” but a transgender? Given the big deal being made over the transgendered business, it Dr. Rutherford really a man that he presents as, or is this a secret admission that he’s pulling one over on us
I’m happy that Dr. Mel Rutherford got the job he richly deserved, but he got it on the basis of his accomplishments, not because of what lies between his legs.
Can’t we celebrate that Dr. Rutherford got
the job without making an issue of his personal issues having nothing to do
with his qualifications?
