what do you wish you’d learned in gender studies

/women’s studies/women’s and gender studies?

I’m working on an essay about queer feminist praxis and am interested in the gaps people experience between what they learned in school and what skills/insight they’ve needed/wanted outside of school.

examples: recognizing, naming, and pushing back against transmisogyny; how to negociate boundaries in interpersonal relationships; respectfully and openly talking about sex work, kink, and pornography (with people who make/do/engage in those things)

leave your comments below, or send me a message.

thoughts?
