Not really related but I have never met anyone who went to evergreen college and didn't come out trans and poly. Idk what goes on there but it's madness.

Have you met many people from there? edit: Just curious, as it's one specific college, not that I don't believe you! Also Benjamin Boyce and Bret Weinstein and his wife (who was also a professor there) don't seem to be either so that's 3 people haha.

Yeah, my former best friend went there, along with a few other people I knew. It's not very popular for people to go to tbh, it has like a 100% acceptance rate and isn't great academically. But I know a couple TQ people who went there even though they had scholarships for other state schools. One of them went in a lesbian and is now a gay man.

Gotcha, makes sense. Thanks for sharing!

Oof, that's rough.

I do know one person who didn't, but that was a while ago. She was, however, a complete grifter who managed to use her minority identity to avoid any consequences from repeated, documented instances of plagiarism and cheating on exams in the graduate program she attended after Evergreen, and didn't see to have any moral qualms about any of it. My dad used to be a hiring manager at his workplace, and he said Evergreen applicants were always interesting because you had to interview them, their resumes were never really clear. And that 95% of the time they were clearly unqualified idiots, but they were always entertaining to interview because they tended to be quite weird, and that occasionally he'd find somebody who actually was a really unique thinker who was worth hiring. He also said that if I ever wanted to go there he wouldn't waste a cent on it, so I would be on my own (I did not want to go there).
