And just completely had this bias towards me the rest of the semester. So backtrack a little bit. In the same sports journalism class, it was Women's History Month. And I grew up a star tennis player in New York, all over the country. I played in Chris Everett Academy. And I just found out Chris Everett was battling cancer.

So I wanted to write a piece about how she inspired me to become the tennis player I was. And he was like, I prefer you write about Leah Thomas. And I was like, who's Leah Thomas? And I found out that he was the swimmer that took the medal at Kentucky. Then I found out who Riley Gaines was and I was like, I'd rather write about Riley So I did and I failed and I was like, this is like abhorrent.

I actually have no words So I tried to leave his class. It was too deep in the semester and it really affected my GPA and My next professor was they them, which was really new to me at the time because you look like a man. You have chest hair that you love to flaunt. You have naked pictures on Instagram with your genitals out.

And I was like, don't tell me you're a woman because that's insulting to me. But he wasn't a woman. It was he was nothing. He was just this was new at the time. This was like COVID kind of. And he said, I would really prefer if you call me they, them. And I said, but that's plural. This is a journalism class. That doesn't make sense.

And they proceeded to tell me how transphobic I was for not referring to they as them. I said, professor, he said, that has like a male connotation. I'd prefer not to be professor. I said, sir, by accident, he said, I'll penalize you if you do it again. And I was like, I need to leave this school completely.
