xp_journalI have seen the discussion of peaceful activism and I am pleased by it. Idealism is never foolish and wanting to change the world for the better is always welcomed in these halls.
To that end, I would like to announce a new subsidiary of the American Red Cross, the Red X. This program is a new initiative by the Red Cross in which x-gene-positive mutants will be sent to various disaster areas in order to use the powers granted by their mutations to help with disaster relief.
I've spent the afternoon in talks with the director of this new program, who came to me to ask for funding. I've given that, of course, but I have also offered to supply a team of volunteers from among my students and staff.
Please let me know if you would be interested in participating in such a project.

I understand that they are expensive. I understand Dr. McCoy needs to keep track of them...but isn't there an easier way? or someone else who is ALSO able to check them out or something?
I feel like there are added restrictions on me just because I'm me without me doing anything to deserve them.
I hate being purple.

You don't have as large a monopoly on physical mutation as you would like to think you do.

So does it suck that you have to wear an inducer? Damn sure is. But you just like everyone else has the option of going out without it. If you were anywhere else you would be going without it. Is it unfair? Well to cadge a phrase from my childhood--"I wonder what your basis for comparison is."
I would suggest that if you want easier access to image inducers, you do what Alison has done. Prove that you deserve it. In the meantime, think of this as another step to getting ready to go out. Choose shoes, find driver, get image inducer. Simple.
