Acting
One time in a class, the professor had us act out a dialogue. He assigned me the role of the mother because I would “make a good mother,” and asked me to hold a baby doll. Then he asked for a volunteer to play my husband. He told us we were a beautiful couple. I’m gay and it was gross.
Pronouns
Microaggressions around correct usage of pronouns and preferred/chosen names are frequently committed by faculty and students at Davidson. Some professors openly mock the use of gender-neutral pronouns, refuse to use them, etc. In a similar vein, there is an assumption that if someone understands what a pronoun is, they are automatically being inclusive in their language and actions, which is incorrect and often harmful.
