- Erasure of DEI programs? DEI doesn’t erase I just wanna make sure I’m understanding you properly.
  
  Oh, who did they erase?
  
  I think they’re clarifying that the removal of the DEI program erased you, not the DEI program itself. It’s a small nit to pick, but then you confirmed it, so I think they just got confused. Words are hard sometimes
  
  You should explain in more detail how that can possibly be the case. What other extenuating circumstances were there? What community or region did this occur in? I'm sorry if this is a hurt you didn't want to discuss but this makes no sense in the context of DEI programs and their intention.
  
  So the DEI program wasn’t inclusive enough? Would the situation have been better without the DEI program? Just trying to understand the issue, typically DEI has the effect of increasing visibility but it sounds like you had the opposite experience.
  
  As a trans woman, I don't see HRT being pushed as the only way to be trans. I think the vast majority of us recognize that there are many different paths people take. I have a friend who can't take HRT because of blood clotting issues they have, and they are still 100% valid. Even if someone's health doesn't prevent them from taking HRT and they just don't want it, they are still valid as well. The people saying that HRT is necessary to be trans are known as transmedicalists and they are cringe.
  Edit: This got double posted somehow, so I deleted the first one.
  
  Thanks for answering, and I’m sorry about the creep in the replies downplaying your advisor raping you. I believe you, and I know it can be especially difficult for people who are perceived as “masculine” to get support when they come forward about being assaulted. Many self-proclaimed feminists still uphold the patriarchy by embracing gender essentialism bullshit. All I can say is, people are imperfect, biases are tough to unlearn, and living up to our ideals is a constant battle against complacency. I still value those ideals (diversity, equity, and inclusion), and I’m sorry the so-called DEI committee at your university failed to embody them.
  
  I hope you realize how bad this entire chain sounds, and that is WITH your one sided account that's clearly skimming over things you did, especially the second time you were kicked out.
- Now I'm confused, what does DEI stand for? I thought it meant Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.
  
  I've been reading the whole thread and it looks like you're blaming an entire program for the bad experience you had with a particular group of people.
  
  Because of this, I think that it's valid that I direct my criticisms towards the program
  That is exactly the incel mentality. These people did me wrong so I will blame the entirety of what, in my eyes, they represent.
  
  Can you give me a few solid examples or some slides that they shared for your specific DEI program? I've done two and it's some of the most boring and dry shit that I've ever listened to.
  For ours, it was mainly that you can get talent from anywhere. It wasn't about hating white men or nothing. I mean, at least it wasn't for the ones that I've attended?
