on a related note, I'm super excited to read Beans Velocci's new book, "Sex Isn't Real: The Invention of an Incoherent Binary", which explores the research histories that contributed to the biologization of male/female sex categories. When I said that "gay gene"/"trans brain" research is inspired by eugenics, I mean it very literally... the gender binary was codified into biological science in eugenics labs.

@lina @salixsericea YASS! Can’t wait to read this. BTW, altho I tried, I couldn’t buy this from Dukepress, their website has captchas that I can’t see and weird hoops I can’t jump through. I hate to say it, but I got it from Amazon with one click. I will probably rot in hell.
