In college I had an SJW that basically let me do whatever I want in class because I was trans, thank God too, cause damn is Intro to Psychology a hard fucking class
Damn, the only leeway I ever got was for being smart. Sure me being trans certainly helped with the lesbian professor, but she was only giving me leeway because I excelled in her classes. Turns out gen ed English professors dgaf if you go in already writing at a college level
Oh I flunked the fuck out of College English several times despite that not making any sense, I’ve always done well with words and shit, hell I’m a fucking writer.
I talked to my guidance consular about this, and she told me that sometimes professors have biases towards or against students, or just a fucking weird way of doing things, and everytime I had the same professor, so she just had me take it one more time with someone else.
Aced the FUCK out of it with no problem, so yeah… there’s negative and positve bias… The first english teacher was a cold bitch, but the one I switched to was pretty cool and actually engaged with the material, explained what he expected from assignments, a complete 180
Yeah I was taught to write in a white upper middle class Midwestern style with an explicit push towards academic and persuasive styles. My high school prepped me for it hard. Add in a certain charisma when I write and I’m exactly who skates by in stuff like that.
And yeah that prof was firm but fair and we got on great.
God fuck I wish I realized I was trans back in College I might have had a way easier time instead of burning out and having a mental breakdown because I went to some liberal as fuck courses (…partly due to said mental breakdown, mind.)
