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.
