Remember Felix Ngole? He's the Christian guy who got kicked out of his British-based masters of social work academic program for posting anti-gay material on Facebook. He later appealed that decision, arguing that he could remain professional if/when working with LGBTQ clients. But his expulsion was ultimately upheld. He now has his own book and his own Facebook fan-page, which mainly consists of links to articles about LGBTQ people (though mostly trans and gender fluid individuals these days) along with slanted comments about them.
Earlier today, he posted an article from July 2017 about a man who "lost it" and stabbed a woman 119 times after she told she told him that she was trans. The man subsequently pleaded guilty to 2nd degree murder and will essentially remain in prison for the rest of his life.
Ngole posted a link to the article with the following post caption: "Man stabbed woman (Man) he met on dating site 119 times after she (He) told him she (He) was transgender. So sad! It is a slippery slope."
It might not seem like it, but I actually try avoiding online debates these days. I really do. But I couldn't help asking the following question after reading his post: "What's the slippery slope?"
He responded with a snarky: "Will a dictionary help?"
After rolling my eyes a bit, I responded: "Nice rude response. Usually a slippery slope indicates progressive from one thing to another. Example, gays marrying is seen by some as a slippery slope to legalized polygamy. I'm not sure what the slippery slope is supposed to be in this example."
He then replied: "Apologies. It wasn't my intention to be rude. Far from that. Once we stop recognising that God created us male and female, and that He didn't make a mistake, then we are on a downward spiral! That's the point I was trying to make."
I replied: "Got it." But really, I'm still scratching my head. He didn't make a "slippery slope" argument here. He just dug up an old news article about a murder -- and kind of implied that the victim deserved it.
Which kind of backs up Sheffield University's decision to exclude Ngole from their social work program.
