My challenges

Hi everyone! This is my last post on this subject (I think so) and I will talk about my experience on learning English at this university. First, I'm glad for having Benjamin as teacher, because I could openly express my gender and identity without judging, and be trust-blindly, knowing he will respect me. It has been a long path for us to openly express what we really are, and unfortunately, many teachers in this university don't respect diversity (in any way). Sometimes, in the classroom, my dead name was shown on the screen, but the teacher talk to me in my real name, and just ignore my d/n, and that's something VERY important to me. I'm also very grateful for letting me talk and write gender-neutral words, in blogs and activities, like using "they" instead "he" or "she", and not correct me for doing that. Even if it's something very little for some people, it differentiate this class from another class in university. In addition, I was doing these classes in company of my significant other, so we usually talk in English even if we aren't in class, just for fun, and because sometimes it was a better way for expression for us. Finally, I thing the use of these blogs helps us to know more about our partners and their lives, their hopes and dreams. I wish you could keep doing your job as teacher, and help more people to learn. Good luck everyone!
