This was an awesome read. And honestly means a lot to me to see this topic talked about and ultimately, seems like a good time for someone to come up with a new word to describe what you're talking about. Though, trying to find the right suffix for it. Funnily, as I was reading it, I tried looking up the opposite of "-cide" if that's even possible and found a forum post discussing it. "Suigenesis" or something along the lines of that as a decent ring.
Oh, I like that as an idea! Shoot, I should’ve included students from further back in my blanket query! Interestingly, in my first search, google corrected to “Suigeneris” which is Latin for “in a class of its own” or “unique and un categorizable.” I feel like the standard fetish of individuality or uniqueness potentially runs through both these words? It’s a great balance: how to be the creator & author of your own self, like this guy I started with who was making a decisive transformation, while also acknowledging everything and everyone going into the possibility of that decision?
