Thank you for this. Yikes, this is alarming, especially when you multiply it (as we can assume it is multiplied) across university campuses, university health services, university medical schools. I encourage parents who are part of online parent groups at their kids' universities to share this and speak out, as many kids head back to college this month. And find ways to speak to your college-aged kids about how misguided and dangerous this is.
Can this article be offered in front of the paywall for sharing?
Another example where a factual substitution of “sex” for the fictional “gender” results in instant clarification; along with the elimination of “cisgender” and “transgender”. It’s effortless. We should really begin writing these kinds of institutions to stop living in fantasy land. The reality of gender is that in reality gender doesn’t exist. Has the same material reality as ghost or pixie.
Yale's position reminds me of a "Simpsons" episode, in which something important hangs on people with Simpson DNA. Lisa points out that Marge, being a Bouvier, lacks this, but Marge insists, "Oh, no...when I took your father's name, I took everything." So Yale is using Marge Simpson logic.
FWIW, here's the part of Yale, the Alcohol and Other Drugs Harm Reduction Initiative, that puts out the "Work Hard, Play Smart" module. You can reach out to them here:
AODHRI is funded out of the President’s Office and has been in existence roughly since August 2011 and under its current name since January 2013. You can contact AODHRI anytime at aodhri@yale.edu.
If you've any affiliation to Yale, perhaps write in and ask about it. I don't, but I have anyway. They will likely not respond to me, but they might respond to a current parent or an alum.
Perhaps this is an Orwellian acknowledgement that the girls on campus who are pretending to be boys actually have an alcohol tolerance that is lower than their natal (actual) male peers? Just like we I guess need to say that someone with a male designation on their drivers license might be pregnant when they show up in the ER after a car accident. I'm so sick of all of this.
Trans women have male bodies, that is XY chromosomes. Trans men have female bodies, XX chromosomes. No amount of transition and/or body manipulation changes this. Yale is correct here.
The only positive effect I can see of the critical theory movement is that it has uncovered the profound level of ignorance hidden under diplomas from top tier universities.
Ironically I think these types of (pseudo) educational videos will lead people (back) to Reality…Most college students will experimentally figure out how alcohol affects their bodies, (eventually) putting two and two together and getting four.

We are clearly stuck in an episode of The Twilight Zone.
Peak insanity. Is no one in higher education at captured schools capable of rational thought anymore?
Well, Yale has provided a ton of misinformation in the medical school too- they are providing witnesses for many lawsuits and incorrect statements.....it's amazing. These are loaded with errors as are papers which rely on them. https://law.yale.edu/yls-today/news/new-report-refutes-flawed-science-texas-and-alabama-transgender-legal-actions
Yale. Wow.

Isn't Yale supposed to be full of smart people?

Follow the science? That was so 2020…
I think I first encountered this phenomenon in the wild ca. 2019. It is absolutely nuts. Magical literalism.
This is proof that when it comes to gender issues, even the administrators are getting in on the LARPing. Let's all pretend this is true.
