(*though at least in my own experience, that's more of projected than an actual worry, since I doubt cis men (or people in general?) are aware enough of what opening a pad sounds like, or listening out for it, such that they would be able to know for sure that's what was happening in another stall)

Alternatively, you could also consider talking to a trans masculine person, for whom there are actual potential stakes (i.e., being outed, not just being vaguely 'embarrassed') to using menstrual products in the (men's) restroom*

The woman in question here wasn't a grad student, she was a tenured professor at the time. Not that that changes your summary of Harvard's reaction, but I think it matters re: understanding the problem of sexual harassment in (especially elite) academia

there's a similar one, from himself to himself, with the subject line "contacts", here: HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_026632

yes, him. he apparently showed up in the flight logs? the full name shows up in other places in the recent docs if you search 'pastrana' here: splendorous-chaja-f79791.netlify.app

she says there she's emerita at harvard - so presumably if one wanted to contact her the ASU email address would be more effective

only kind of. she hasn't taught there in years - she left for a position at ASU directing their 'media innovation studio' via that poetry in america course: search.asu.edu/profile/3678...

my luck, if i do get that interview, it'll be in about 2 and a half weeks, right when symptoms are starting up again....

unsurprisingly, i did not get that job.

but i'm rehearsing questions for another potential position now (after the symptoms have stopped for the next few weeks) and am feeling like a completely different person
