It’s either treat this like a joke, or else I have to seriously consider the fact that you think you have something to gain by denying me and other trans people our right to define our own identities. I have literally no idea why you’re so invested on disproving my existence.

Yes, just like how an appendix has no meaningful existence in the majority of people, yet sometimes it become a problem.

Cmon, you really want to send you a LMGTFY link?

There is no power in offering multiple opportunities to avoid having to do something. The presumption that all nudity is sexual - a presumption that…

If you choose to take a performance art elective, and you can’t perform emotional nakedness well enough, you deserve to fail. Pretty simple.

I presume it's a coed course though, right?

That's a really great way of putting it. I don't know why it should be such a mystery as to the difference between cross dressing as a fetish and actually living as trans.
