"No T, No Shade, No Pink Lemonade": An Auto-theoretical Analysis of Student Feedback to Queer Content in Dietetics

Abstract:
LGBTQ+ inclusion in dietetics education is essential to fostering culturally safe and structurally responsive learning environments. Drawing on auto-theory informed by poststructuralism, I reflect on a piece of student feedback that described the LGBTQ+ content in my course as excessive and suggested that such excess denied discussion about other historically excluded groups. This feedback illustrates how cis-heteronormative assumptions shape expectations about what counts as appropriate, balanced, or necessary content in professional education. Using the queer expression "No T, no shade, no pink lemonade," I explore how power, discourse, and affect emerge in moments of discomfort and curricular critique. I consider how such moments offer opportunities for reflexivity and deeper attention to the norms that shape belonging, visibility, and legitimacy in professional training. This paper contributes to ongoing efforts to embed cultural safety into dietetics curricula in ways that are reflexive, relational, and justice-oriented.
