tbh cis privilege is thinking guided meditations that focus on feeling your friggin chest rise and fall or fill and empty or literally anything at all can be healing and relaxing for people as a whole
so many horrible classes in my past, my gods
so many horrible classes in my past, my gods
when i was an undergrad senior i dropped a theater class because it ended with THAT kinda meditation every day and the professor (a feminist!) misgendered me while telling me how offended she was that I didn& #39;t consider her class a safe environment for me
this contrasts beautifully with one of my favorite professors ever, particularly in hindsight. i only had him once. he was a dance professor and i hated everything about the class but he was so kind and patient with me and let me skip so many classes over dysphoria. Bless him.
been thinking about these two (and some others) a lot since we& #39;re talking so much about how much slack to cut students. My answer: cut them ALL the slack. even if they& #39;re completely "okay" and just sitting at home, there& #39;s a reason they& #39;re unmotivated. help tackle THAT.
did i come out of that dance class knowing how to dance? hekk no. i don& #39;t remember a single lesson. it was a Very Rough Time for me, most people didn& #39;t pick up on it, but he did and he gave me room to take care of myself and I have thanked him for it because he was a blessing.
you know what I walked out of that senior acting class with? a dropped theater major and deep resentment for theater that took a couple years to heal. (I later worked in professional theater for 6 years, got as "far" as international touring) thanks, "feminist" professor
