Sometimes when I am at University I forget that transpeople are often seen as jokes. Sometimes I am reminded of that.
I was reminded of that yesterday.
During a lecture, we where discussing Gender Identity Disorder.
While the other students laughed at the diagnosis criteria in the DSM. I couldn't help but get the feeling that they were also laughing at transpeople. That they somehow didn't recognise what it means to be trans and go to university. The fact is university is a very exclusionary place, for anyone that is different.
