🧵The Archives of Sexual Behavior recently published a special section on the difficulties scholars are facing in teaching, clinical practice & research in the area of sex & gender. Open access links to the 4 articles (including mine) are below. 1/
I described some of the trouble I’ve had at Harvard in response to speaking about the binary nature of sex, & I make some recommendations about how universities might better handle these kinds of situations in the future. We are telling our stories because #academicfreedom, 2/
particularly around #thescienceofsex, is under threat, handicapping ability to produce & communicate knowledge, discuss/challenge & ideas. This matters for lots of reasons, but especially because understanding the nature of problems we face is a crucial step in solving them. 3/

"the idea of maternal instinct as something innate, automatic and distinctly female is a myth, one that has stuck despite the best efforts of feminists to debunk it from the moment it entered public discourse." nytimes.com/2022/08/26/opi…
