pretty minor problem in the scheme of things but i'm taking a trans studies class in my university taught by who i'm 95% sure is just A Cis Guy and it is bothering me to no end.
going to class every week to learn why postmodern academics think Transsexualism™ is problematic and Reinforcing The Binary while i'm finally coming to terms with myself for actually wanting bottom surgery and realizing that it's gotten a lot less accessible for me during the few years i spent waffling
what the heck?? is this like an institution in a reactionary area? similar classes at my institution are not like that, i wonder what the difference is...
yeah we're in a pretty reactionary area but i don't think it's that, like all this stuff is pretty mainstream liberal scholarship as far as i can tell, it just feels so alienating. like maybe i'm being spiteful or close minded but so much of "trans studies" just feels like trying to shoehorn us into some philosophical gender abolition thing for the sake of cis people instead of the actual material struggles of living as a trans person. the prof also seemingly can't go a day without doing some really dismissive dig at marxism and then spending like half the class time trying to make my partner who's in there with me look dumb for caring abt materialism.
