I wanna read gay evolution book

reaading compreshension and posting ability gonna suck cause work burning me out but fuck it im reading shit.

dis one

hmmmm, idk I can't say I've read enough academic trans folks (I guess 4) but like 3 out of 4 of em put things in terms I don't love

do people read prefaces?

ok but the phrase is awfully ironic, did the author do this on purpose?

My general conclusion is that each academic discipline has its own means of discriminating against diversity. At first I felt that the book’s main message would be a catalogue of diversity that biologically validates divergent expressions of gender and sexuality. This validating catalogue is indeed important. But as I reflected on my academic sojourn, I increasingly wondered why we didn’t already know about nature’s wonderful diversity in gender and sexuality. I came to see the book’s main message as an indictment of academia for suppressing and denying diversity. I now conclude that all our academic disciplines should go back to school, take refresher courses in their own primary data, and emerge with a reformed, enlarged, and more accurate concept of diversity.

They went "back to school" that's the problem lady.

she's criticizing that thinking in that quote i took out of context btw

"Gender- and sexuality-variant people are thought to be motivated by mindless devotion to primitive gods"

me irl

apparently the anti-diversity stuff in her particular field goes back to Darwin who had a "sexual selection theory"

"... transphobia and homophobia. In the extreme, these phobias may be illnesses requiring therapy ..."

🤢 🤮

lmao, but why?

Finally, I float the idea that our country should construct a large statue and plaza, called the Statue of Diversity, which would be to the West Coast what the Statue of Liberty is to the East Coast.

Lesbian Statue of Liberty
