Welcome to Litsy!

Today is national Trans day of visibility. My son came out to us in 2013 at 11 years old. I admire him for being able to be his authentic self. Trans people represent 1-2% of the population. They want to live life just as you we do, and have the same rights that we do.

If the love for your child is contingent on them being a cis-gender heterosexual then you are the problem. Not the transgender person who wants to use the bathroom.

I love how Frantzen goes from "Foucault missed a lot in The History of Sexuality when it comes to the medieval era" (true) to "so all of queer theory is stupid and invalid and also they probably said something mean to me". I don't even care. I usually like academic pettiness, but this has been going on for 21 pages! I'm not out of the fucking intro yet. Do your own work instead of bitching at everyone else. Jesus fuck.

It's probably not a good sign when I'm irritated with the author before even leaving the introduction.
More soon.

Straight men, are you okay? Straight white men, are you specifically okay? This entire book is an ode to the idea that it‘s about damned time we abandon our insistence on a binary view of life, love, sexuality, attraction, and gender.

Seriously, I feel like this entire book is an argument for abandoning the binary views we have of gender, sexuality, attraction, and life.

So being friends with other men is gay, but this is less gay? Again, I‘m going to need the men to show their work on this, because the math is NOT mathing.

Reasons given for the acceptable practice of initiating new men into the military using homosexual sex acts. I‘m really going to need them to show their work on that second one. The other two make no sense either, but that one is extra special.

Ward keeps using this concept of a sex terrorist to describe reasons a person may engage in a sex act in a way that is not in accordance with their orientation. Is this a real thing?
