At what point does "I require feeling comfortable discussing the most ridiculously offensive ideas I can come up with" work against "I require feeling physically safe and not discriminated for a physical aspect of myself I can't control"?
University is not just about coming up with the stupidest things you can come up with; it's also about teaching people how to present ideas while still considering the ramifications of having presented those ideas.
How long have you been out of university that you remember it as "a free-for-all of people trying to out-offend each other academically"?
aka I'm very sensitive, please take into account my very important feelings before tackling any subject, thank you
