So, after an NUS conference where people were told to use jazz hands instead of clapping--because it's "triggering"--the NUS has now passed a policy to stop gay men from appropriating the culture of black women.

UK's National Union of Students has passed a policy to stop gay men appropriating black female culture.

Delegates at the Women's Conference today, many of them self-identified feminists, have passed plenty of motions.

Just one of them was ensuring everyone at the conference understood that some behaviors were damaging.

On Twitter, they announced: 'Some delegates are requesting that we move to jazz hands rather than clapping as it's triggering anxiety. Please be mindful!'

A later motion passed was 503: 'Dear White Gay Men: Stop Approprirating [sic] Black Women'.

Put forward by the NUS LGBT Committee, they believe the appropriation of black women by white gay men is prevalent within the LGBTI scene and community.

'This may be manifested in the emulation of the mannerisms, language (particularly AAVE- African American Vernacular English) and phrases that can be attributed to black women. White gay men may often assert that they are “strong black women” or have an “inner black woman”,' they said.

'White gay men are the dominant demographic within the LGBT community, and they benefit from both white privilege and male privilege.'

They claimed the appropriation is 'unacceptable and must be addressed'. Passing the motion, they agreed to eradicate the appropriation of black women by white gay men and to raise awareness of the issue.

A second motion passed was the banning of cross-dressing or drag as it could be offensive to trans women.

'To issue a statement condemning the use of crossdressing as a mode of fancy dress,' they pledged.

'To encourage unions to ban clubs and societies from holding events which permit or encourage (cisgender) members to use cross-dressing as a mode of fancy dress'.

This ruling was given an exclusion to queer students who want to use cross-dressing in their everyday lives as a mode of expression and to those who want to cross-play by flipping the gender of a fictional character in fancy dress.

A NUS spokeswoman told Gay Star News: 'We're a democratic society, and if members voted for it, these are our policies'.

Several have mocked the policies online, with the New Statesman calling into question the second motion for being 'remarkably conservative' for a group 'otherwise so much at pains to stress the variety and fluidity of gender'.

Others on social media also questioned the first, saying inspiration for the slang like 'shade' and 'spill the T' was taken from the underground drag culture in the 70s and 80s, Paris is Burning and modern shows like RuPaul's Drag Race.

I am absolutely fucking beside myself with rage. This SJW mentality has eroded our academic institutions; it's stifling free speech, it's spreading these awful, awful mentalities. It's fucking toxic. I hate them, passionately. And bear in mind the NUS represents over 95pc of student unions in the U.K.

What the cunting fuck? I mean, just look at this:

'White gay men are the dominant demographic within the LGBT community, and they benefit from both white privilege and male privilege.'

What the utter Jesus fucking Christ almighty? And fucking this:

'Dear White Gay Men: Stop Approprirating [sic] Black Women'.

How the fuck do they even have the authority to make policy when they CAN'T SPELL appropriating. No, it's not "sic", it's fucking wrong. You're spelling it FUCKING WRONG.

I'm literally so goddamned fucking angry right now. Sometimes I wish there was a God, at least then I'd know these morons would burn in hell eventually.

Oh my God.

I also just found out that, last year, a motion to condemn ISIS in the NUS failed because it would be "Islamaphobic".

These people are all degenerates, honestly.

Not against them having equal rights but they're so fucked in the head it's disgusting.

Academia is fucking doomed.

You sick of the stupid people too Meta? Sick of all them stupid policies and retarded ass fuck backward progress and stagnation? Yeah, me too.

Should shoot all those fucks out of a canon.

What would they be refering to?

I don't understand the question.

Are you asking exactly what they're "appropriating"?

This deserves a round of applause.

I meant that the [sic] obviously means they're refering to something, if they even know what it means. Is there some article or piece of writing by the "old white men" they're talking about in which they made that spelling mistake?

The [sic] was added to a quote from the NUS by the author of the piece I've quoted, to draw attention to the NUS's spelling error.

Nvm, Sparkles got it.

I love abortion of bigots so that they don't come in to the real world molested by Freddie Phelps.

Are gay men of color immune to this policy? Does that not itself create discrimination against a group of people by targeting whites?

What racist, sexist pricks. They need to check their privilege.
