leading expert

i passed my thesis and got a good grade!

it occurred to me that i might know be one of the world's foremost experts on nonbinary french. Alpheratz and Florence Ashley are the big two, of course, and Julie Abbou has also done a lot with neutral french. and obviously i'm only talking about the academic world now; i'm certain there are plenty of people in more informal queer communities qui s'y connaissent beaucoup mieux que moi.

(but i'm really not sure about that claim. it sounds incredibly fake. i kind of feel that if i qualify as a leading expert on nonbinary french, then that makes anyone who reads my thesis an expert too.)

Congratulations!
