    I had to make a formal, public apology for sexual harassment (I told the dude something like "you're not gay you've no right") for complaining someone wrote a homophobic story in college. That was 12 years ago and I assume things are worse now

    friend-visitor-3 wtf

    I see so many queer/gender studies with PhDs publishing lgbtq+ literary analysis but I haven't seen any articles about how to navigate the college environment itself as a queer student given that almost every Prof is a cis het white man wielding an immense power imbalance.

    Like how did they manage? If someone can't even say "don't write a homophobic story" or write "werewolves are gay" without being reprimanded how did these other queer people survive in the system long enough to get PhDs and become professors themselves?
