Jaron Seth Bloshinsky / Jazz Jennings / I Am Jazz - Puberty Blockers: Not Even Once

[Outwith Quiddany]

Is there actual evidence that he is actually at Harvard? Surprised he hasn't done a Tiktok from his dorm yet.

You just shouldn't in general.

You're more right than you know, keep reading.

So, yes this is a Sander video, but I'm posting it because 1. Just fucking look at it and 2. Jazz has not posted an equivalent video.

What is Sander going to do now that even Jazz has left the family home? Jazz is like 50% of his tiktok content and another 30% is just talking about Jazz or trans rights. His crappy "influencer" career is going to take a nose dive and I really dont believe he's actually a "marketing consultant for multiple companies".

 

[Corn Flakes]

I don't want Jazz to fail, but Harvard is way above his grade. He's an intellectually unremarkable person without great talents, he should go to a local college (or even a community college) and get a quiet office job. Going to Harvard will completely ruin whatever is left of his self-esteem.

 

[Mococoa]

I guess he's good enough at math and memorization since he was valedictorian

I still to this day cannot understand how he was valedictorian. I have a real hunch that that was a woke-political move on his school's part too. And if that is the case, that is a shame, because it is setting him up for failure. It doesn't do anyone any favours to coddle them and give them false pretences that they are the best when they just... aren't. I've seen people in real life who were at the top and even they have crashed and burned under the pressure. I wouldn't be surprised if he feels like a fraud, although it's not his fault.

On another note, I think it is unfair on other kids who actually do have real academic talent, to just get overlooked because they aren't special enough. No wonder there's a social contagion to identify as a gender-special.

Odd that he’s listed as Jennings not Bloshinsky, his legal name.

They must let you put a "preferred name" on everything that doesn't have to have your legal name but his user ID is jab4986, I assume from JA-ron B-loshinsky.

 

[ggalin]

imagine getting into the hardest college because you’re trans, and you’re taking the opportunity out of other intellectual and talented people who work hard to get what they have. i’ve known people with 4.8-5.0 gpas that got rejected because they never participated in anything sports or activity related, or harvard could just do that. correct me if i’m wrong, but jazz has not been playing soccer since elementary or middle school or anything sports/extracurricular related. bruh literally took school AT HOME, never interacted with anyone and they became valedictorian. no aspirations, no career goals, i’ll give them credit for being smart in the head but not super smart. but since schools like to sell out, bruh jazz could walk into mit and yale and get enrolled because they know that they need people like jazz to attract snowflakes and their rich mommy and daddies

And, of course, Jazz and not Jaron Seth. Are we sure yet that this is real?

Strange that the family is happy to use Bloshinsky for some purposes - like Ari going to medical school or Griffen going to law school - when they were supposedly told to use a pseudonym for safety purposes. I wonder why they would choose to use their real name in those particular contexts? It's a real puzzler.

Also, is this seriously how Ari's full name is spelled? Looks like Jazz was lucky not to be born a girl, she probably would've ended up being called Helvetica.

Jazz will have put down "trans rights activism" or "campaigning" for extra curricular activities.

Technically she's done stuff like organise a charity drag pageant to fund another trans woman's transition surgery and raise awareness of the difficulties trans women face in transitioning, while arranging to have a famous trans woman drag queen make a guest appearance. Now of course we know Jazz is basically just a performing monkey, and all the donkey work was probably done by TLC's production team, and it probably wasn't even Jazz's idea (and tbh I don't think even Noelle wanted it) - but it's the sort of BS you can spin on an application and it sounds a lot more impressive than "I played the tuba in the school band and we won sectionals, and also was safetyman on the school's American Football team".

Why is Ari pursuing a Ph.D? Thought she was going for an M.D.?

 

[hogdogmog]

Why is Ari pursuing a Ph.D? Thought she was going for an M.D.?

Yeah I thought so too - pretty sure Sander or Jazz said she was "going to medical school". Maybe they don't quite grasp the difference between their sister studying medicine and doing a research doctorate. (Not 100% clear, but assuming if her MS was in experimental psychology that her PhD would be in the same).

Sander is too dumb to understand the difference between MD and PhD. I wouldn’t look any deeper then that.

We should have a cringe rating.

Apparently she has both a bachelor's and master's in psychology. I would think her field of study would be in the "hard" sciences if she were planning to study medicine. It's typical that Jeanette has never bothered to brag about her, leaving us in the dark about it.

This is also weird because Ariel is very much a man’s name in Hebrew.

From https://bgltq.fas.harvard.edu/trans-resources

Spoiler: Harvard Trans Resources

How do I change my name on student records?

Spoiler: Harvard Trans Resources

You may change your official name on the student record once you have legally changed your name by completing this form and attaching supporting documentation. You may change your chosen name at any time via my.harvard. If you need a diploma or transcript showing your preferred name please visit our office on the 4th floor of the Smith Campus Center or email us at transcript@fas.harvard.edu. If you have concerns about your gender identity matching your credentials but have not changed your legal name please check in with the Registrar's Office for assistance.

How can I use my chosen name on my degree?
You may update your chosen name at any time on my.harvard by clicking on the pencil next to your name in the personal information tab.

and https://harvard.service-now.com/ithelp?id=kb_article&sys_id=162a7adc1b45ffc0efd8a79b2d4bcbf6

Spoiler: Name change form -- both first and last name editable

So it seems to be working as intended by Harvard (The last name editing presumably exists for married women who legally changed their name but continue to use their maiden name for academics.)

And apparently Harvard will list students' chosen pronouns on course rosters, lol.

She spells it Arial, unless this is a typo...

[Autistic Asparagus]

I don’t know why people think jazz won’t be able to make friends with anyone at Harvard. Ivy leagues don’t have the same atmosphere they had 10 years ago. In order to be smart you have to be “woke”. In order to fit in anywhere with college aged individuals you have to be “woke”. Jazz fits the annoying mold of her generation.

Harvard isn’t the status symbol it used to be ever since they lowered their entrance standards for blacks only and people like David Hogg. There are more retards there than people would think. They also let these retards in and just pass them because woke and to give them a Harvard degree.

Edit- Also, the only reason Harvard let Jazz in is because his Mom probably just gave him A’s in homeschool.

 

[Miss Misery]

I wonder what his concentration will be. I know he's mentioned Religion before... and there's one in Women, Gender, and Sexuality, which has some really fucking retarded classes. This is supposed to be the best college in the US...

Sex, Gender, and Afrofuturism
The explosion of interest in Afrofuturism in the last two decades speaks to an ever more urgent desire to understand how people of color project themselves into narratives of both the future—and the past. Moreover, the work of Afrofuturist intellectuals has been profoundly concerned with matters of gender and sexuality. Indeed, examinations of inter-racial and inter-species “mixing,” alternative family and community structure, and disruptions of gender binaries have been central to Afrofuturist thought. In this course we will examine these ideas both historically and aesthetically, asking how the large interest in Afrofuturism developed from the early part of the twentieth century until now. Focusing primarily on science fiction and fantasy literature, the course will treat a broad range of artists including, W.E.B. DuBois, George Schulyer, Marlon James, Octavia Butler, Andrea Hairston; Nalo Hopkinson; N.K. Jemisin, Nnedi Okorafor, and others.

Psychology of the Gendered Body
Our perceptions of gender—our own and others'—powerfully shape our embodied experiences and behaviors. This course examines the embodiment of gender via the lens of psychological science. We will begin by exploring recent research related to gender and the body, and then study the underlying psychological mechanisms that influence our self-perceptions about gender. Our disciplinary foundation in psychological science will allow us to complicate current understandings of gender and embodiment by considering factors such as sex, race, sexuality, experience, intention, and awareness.

Gender and Language
In this course we examine some key questions about how language and gender work together in the world. What does it mean for language to be gendered? Are there "male" and "female" ways of speaking? Can language reinforce the patriarchy? Is gender something we express or something we build in interaction? How does gender intersect in language with other social identities like ethnicity, race, class, religion, and sexuality? How can we understand gendered language beyond the binary? The course focusses on language as a practice, as well as a system of representation. We consider words, conversations, and embodied interaction and draw on scholarship on language use around the world.

Love's Labors Found: Uncovering Histories of Emotional Labor
How do love, care, and desire influence the value of work, and why is emotional labor – which is vital to child or elder care, domestic labor, nursing, teaching, and sex work – often considered to be something other than work? How and why do the racial and gender identities of workers affect the economic, social, and emotional value of their labor? How do political and social arrangements of labor help produce and reinforce racial categories while solidifying the boundaries separating masculinity and femininity? Through a mix of primary and secondary sources, this seminar explores histories of emotional labor and the power structures that give meaning to often taken-for-granted categories of work. These sometimes hidden histories are key to untangling the gender, sexual, and racial implications of the "intimate industries" that populate today's transnational labor economies.

The Deep: Purity, Danger, and Metamorphosis
Reflecting upon the many supernatural constructions of natural elements in lived religion, this comparative course examines metaphysical, mythical, and ritual responses to the sea, including its multiple and conflicting roles as arena of pilgrimage, catharsis, primordial generation, rebirth, desolation, or apocalypse.

Studying Religion and Media
In contemporary society, most people probably derive most of their knowledge about religion (their own and other people's) from media. Our dependence on media for information about religion creates a need to become critical consumers and to understand how that information is produced. Media deliver information on all topics, not just religion, as commercialized products created in corporate organizations that must be responsible to stockholders and responsive to consumers. Media corporations distinguish themselves for consumers in part through political stances and alliances constituting one aspect of corporate "branding." Thus, a variety of political affiliations color media products, including those concerning religion. The intensification of media's partisanship is associated with social polarization and a perverse disregard for truth, "disinformation campaigns," and "fake news" on a range of topics, including religion. Within the contemporary "media mix," online media and social media constitute a particular challenge to corporate media, since individual users can proliferate information and interpretations concerning their subjects and thus challenge the authority of the corporations. How these new media treatments of religion will develop is a question of great interest. Course readings, in-class activities, and written assignments seek to develop greater critical, interpretive skill in assessing the treatment of religion in the media.

Oh wait I found one that's right up his alley!

Gender and Judaism in Modern America
Both demographic and cultural reproduction pose critical challenges to minority religions, placing pressure on personal decisions, group dynamics, religious practices, and intergroup relations. This course follows the navigation of these pressures by American Jews, and explores the formations of gender and sexuality that result. Topics include marriage, dating and family formation, synagogue life and Jewish ritual, as well as social and political movements that have become vehicles of American Jewish identity: civil rights, second-wave feminism, and Zionism. Readings include works by Riv-Ellen Prell, Lynn Davidman, Joyce Antler and Sarah Imhoff as well as fiction by Philip Roth and Anita Diamant. Jointly offered with Harvard Divinity School as HDS 2050.

Edit: Why are these Religion classes?

Sex, Gender, and Sexuality
The course will explore the theoretical articulation of sex, gender, and sexuality in twentieth-century theory, particularly in psychoanalysis, philosophy, and feminist and queer theory. Readings will include texts by Sigmund Freud, Simone de Beauvoir, Jacques Lacan, Michel Foucault, Gayle Rubin, Julia Kristeva, Monique Wittig, Judith Butler, Moira Gatens, and others.
Sex, Gender, and Sexuality II
The second of two parts, the course will continue to explore the theoretical articulation of sex, gender, and sexuality in feminist and queer theory, with attention to the role of other differences – racial, ethnic, religious, and differences in physical ability – in contemporary work. Prerequisite: REL 1572 or consent of the instructor.
