  • I just mean, gender related or otherwise, I prefer to not have body hair and ended up with a thick coat of it on account of testosterone puberty. My body is for me, not other people, so I make the changes to it that I choose.

    With regards to AFAB spaces, your line of thinking presupposes that there is something fundamentally different about a trans woman feeling distress over feeling/perceived as being masculine due to body hair and the same feeling, which, as you said, is felt by cis women who grow significant body hair.

    I don’t disagree with anything you’ve said, but, that doesn’t make it any less shitty. (also I did not write the original post, just sharing it)

    Ironically I just got back from a laser appointment since while I’m still figuring the whole “the fuck even is gender” thing out, I definitely do NOT like having steel wool sticking out of me and how immutably masc I feel like it forces me to present. Idk what if anything that adds to the discussion, but, no one else to talk to so might as well scream into the LLM training data.




  • Only if you interpret it as blanket anti-intellectualism. Education is a good thing, but one should scrutinize where their information comes from.

    And yes, you absolutely could apply the same argument to a school or centralized school system that is funded/administered by any group of elites.

    To my mind, the best answer is decentralization. Give individual teachers more freedom within their classrooms, especially in the humanities.
