The department of women’s, gender and sexuality studies at California State University, Long Beach, is currently seeking to hire a professor who will teach courses focused on “transgender studies,” “trans feminism” and “gender variant theories.”

This new “assistant professor of trans studies” at the taxpayer-funded school will teach several classes including “Introduction to Queer Studies,” “Queering Gender” and “Gender, Race, Sex and the Body,” according to a Cal State Long Beach job posting.

The new professor will also be in charge of developing classes and coursework in the exciting new fields of “transgender studies, feminist transnationalism, trans feminism, gender variant theories and transmigration.”

To make sure that the new professor has politically correct views, Cal State Long Beach will require all applicants to submit a statement about “experiences, successes and challenges in working with a diverse student population” — “approximately one page, single-spaced.”

The words “trans,” “transgender,” “trans feminism,” “transmigration” and “transnationalism” are mentioned a total of 14 times in the job posting.

Campus Reform helpfully dissects some of these terms.

A feminist named Sarat Colling, who claims to specialize in critical animal studies, defines feminist transnationalism as academic theory that “critiques Western mainstream feminism for using itself as a referent for communities of color, and calls for a decentering from hegemonic Western discourse.” Two “central components” of feminist transnationalism are “anti-globalism and anti-capitalism.”

Not just anyone can apply for the new professor position. Qualified applications must have a “Ph.D. in humanities or social science with expertise in the fluid and contingent nature of gender and sexuality,” the job posting says. They must also be able to demonstrate “effectiveness for teaching and research in trans studies” and “excellence” in several areas including “teaching interdisciplinary gender and sexuality studies.”

The multitude of courses on offer from the women’s, gender and sexuality studies department at Cal State Long Beach include “Lesbian Histories and Culture,” “Women and Environmental Justice,” “Sexing Chicana Literature” and “Queer Spirit.”

California State University, Long Beach is most famous, of course, because the creator of Kwanzaa, Maulana Ndabezitha Karenga, is a professor or Africana studies there. Karenga — born Ronald Everett in rural Maryland — was convicted in 1971 for brutally torturing two naked women. The women were members of Karenga’s ultra-radical, paramilitary, black nationalist cult called the US Organization.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
