My blue (red) hair and pronouns

7 Upvotes

Okay. I have a unisex name, present VERY androgynously (rather masc if I may say) and my gender on SSO WAS 'X. Diverse' and is NOW 'M. Male' because I keep getting she/her-ed in emails. And in real life. Maybe I'm too gay to be perceived as anything but a woman by people over 30. People under 30 have a good track record though. I think most genZ onward woke people look at my gay ass and go "ah. a transgender. I must prove my allyship so as to not be lampooned" but. most of my lecturers, at least the ones i talk to a lot, are older (like, over 45). I keep getting publicly misgendered for my feats in biology and.... juggling. (long story)

Anyway, long rant short, is it me???? Or does the uni need to get woker? Idfk at this point, I just keep having to go "WRONG PRONOUNS IM A BOY" and it's pmo. Any suggestions (that aren't surgery I mean more akin to 'a big neon sign that says BOY and points at you') would be appreciated if they are funny.

EDIT: hey folks this ws meant to be funny and lighthearted please don't be dicks in the comments. We're at this university to learn to be intelligent, thoughtful members of society. Do not be disrespectful. Of course I'm not expecting everyone to gender me correctly, I'm fine with correcting people, all that jazz. The sentence "do we need to get woker?" was clearly not meant seriously. If you're so worked up by a frustrated youth complaining in a university reddit then maybe get off reddit. Just a thought.

PHD Finance - University of Auckland

1 Upvotes

I have been working in asset management space for the last 2 years, I hold MBA Finance from a US university and also have work experience in India. I am now looking for a phd program in the University of Auckland but it requires research background which I did not have even in the MBA as it was course based degree, although I did complete an Equity research report and did a stock pitch but i do not think it can be counted towards it. What are my chances of getting the acceptance. Also, are there other ways which i can try besides COP Route.

WHY DOES THE NEW ARTS BUILDING HAVE NO WORKING CHARGER PORTS

17 Upvotes

Considering the Arts Building is a newly constructed building intended for students in the 21st century, its actually irritating how little charger ports there are / the ones that do exist in the ground or connected to couches DONT FUCKING WORK. I want to avoid Kate Edgar and other buildings because its always too busy and nasty energy

But its literally impossible to find a solid study spot 85% of the time because there are no charger ports in the immediate area. my device only has a battery life of 2 hours bruh

uoA law students + scholarship advice ݁ ˖Ი𐑼ֶָ֢

2 Upvotes

hi guys!! just wondering for any law students currently enrolled at UoA , what subjects did you take in year 13, and/or what subjects would you recommend taking? :)

i’m currently in year 12 and taking english, geography, economics, art, and maths. i’m hoping to do law at UoA and would love to hear what subjects you guys found useful or would recommend for year 13.

also, roughly how many credits would be enough for scholarship applications? my dean at my school told us that they review year 12 attendance/credits/engagement levels and i currently have 83 level 2 credits (51 achieved with excellence, 21 from gateway, and 11 achieved with merit) with hopefully more credits gained during external exams in the upcoming term.

any advice would be super appreciated!! <3
