I think it is easy for people to overlook the fact that professional ballet dancers are, in essence, hard core jocks, the kind who work through pain and injury for a job that, due to the mental and physical demands and likelihood of injury, has a shorter lifespan than that of a professional football player.

Thatās what I was going to say. Whatās not macho and masculine about being very strong, having lots of physical endurance, and being incredibly athletic?

I agree, though, female ballet dancers are just as tough

I think a lot of people like this mum do such things not because they are genuinely concerned, but because they need to wear their viewpoints as a badge. I mean look at the way she wrote the letter. If you arenāt comfortable, just pull out. Why the letter and why the self declarations?

Yes! I need to make sure you KNOW how IMPORTANT my feelings are. If a company offends me, I just stop using them. Unless they specifically ask me, I donāt say anything, because are they really gonna care? Theyāre just going to pass my letter around and laugh at it, probably.
Ironically, I did once write an email to a drama program about why I wasnāt using their services. They sent me a survey asking how I liked their services, and Iād never enrolled my kid in their program. What I had done was apply for a job, and after two interviews and being told Iād be called in to shadow another teacher and learn the program, they ghosted me.
