Architecture presentations today. A stressful day for some students… I don’t mark students down for not presenting well. But students who present well I mark up. I wonder if that’s fair? #ActuallyAutistic #PublicSpeaking #AcadmicChatter #Introverts

I do not miss those days. Even if you had a great professor, guest critics were a crapshoot. I had one critic state that I was only successful as an architecture student because of my beauty. I talk even more when anxious and would be accused of “talkitecture” even though I had produced as much work as my colleagues. But the clothing part was actually the hardest for me, anything “appropriate” felt painful to wear.

Also I am no great beauty which just kind of blended the sexism with an insult to my work and my self.
@Minnesotan I have also experienced brutal crits :(
@SeaFury
I love that you are creating change and not passing on the trauma you received. 💜
