     this cis white boy in my cohort is trying to do research on how DIY TRANS HORMONES are sourced & how TRANS MASC TEENS HIDE THEIR TRANSITION from their families; and what companies ppl are getting their contraband hormones from.

     M'AIDEZ M'AIDEZ HOW DO I TELL HIM THIS COULD KILL PEOPLE & HE NEEDS TO STOP?? he is being supported by a committee of cis white people & no one else is intervening.

     yelled at the cis white boy in class.

     told him his project investigating DIY trans care will get people killed.

     i spoke with the professor after class.
     he was really defensive && played some kind of ~~well if his research is solid, i can't say no~~
     && i had to explain that it actually IS KIND OF HIS JOB to shut down unethical investigations.

     i explained that he & the student lacked meaningful cultural competency to take on the research, as evidenced by how they spoke about it, their lines of inquiry & lack of understanding about how absolutely dangerous this territory was.

     i was so mad. but i tried to be lucid.
     i explained that the institution consistently fell short when it came to queer/trans issues. i explained that this type of negligence was a key reason so many talented people preferred to work in the underground, instead of in the mainstream applications of my field's skillset.

     the professor was honestly kind of a shitass, (funny, he can't tell the little boy NO, but he's happy to tell me know repeatedly), but i eventually got through to him when i explained an extremely talented women he admired had my back & encouraged me to speak.

     he's going to "talk with her" about it, INSTEAD OF JUST BELIEVING ME, and then decide.

     && i'm just mad.

     This is awful.

     This is just speculation, but it sounds like the professor saw something of himself in the little boy and didn't want to tell him no because he didn't want to think that he would have been told no back when he was that age.

     And this is how patriarchal misogyn perpetuates itself.
