My second question is: Who's the bad guy? Are people in the mainstream lacking understanding and sensitivity? Who are less tolerant on indifference of value? What are we trying to express or justify when we work on the alternative bodies project?

Okay, so I feel like saying something about the minority status of some communities. (Taking a break from stripes) I keep having this question in my head - whether or not a person being alternative to mainstream is bothered by the fact that he/she is not being accepted as the normal? Sometimes it can lead to neglected or unaddressed needs.

very good questions. let's address these in class tomorrow. a hint in advance: think about power. who has it? how is it communicated? what happens when it is threatened by an 'alternative body' in everyday life?
