The wait is finally over. My gay romance/gaylit short story collection Love & Limitations has arrived, just in time for the holidays (with three holiday stories too):
In the 19th century there was a panic about masturbation and its effect on the nation on both sides of the Atlantic.
At the beginning of the 20th century there was a panic about women's liberation, in sex and politics, destroying society.
By the mid 20th century there was a panic about sexual liberation and free love.
Later, in the 70s and 80s, there was a gay panic and gays were presented as predators and deviants.
Now, in the early 21st century, there is a trans panic and its trans and non-binary people who are seen as the social threat.
These are five separate panics across over 150 years, But, actually, they're not separate at all: they are the same panic generated by the same people that comes again and again and again in waves. Its a panic generated by the sexually puritan and socially authoritarian whose politics is that of coercion and control.
This tendency is the ultimate enemy of all lovers of social and personal freedom.
Men are 100% XY chromosomes and women are 100% XX chromosomes. FALSE.
Men and women are completely hormonally distinct. FALSE.
There is a male brain and a female brain and these can be 100% distinguished in imaging scans. FALSE.
Human beings either produce large gametes (women) or small gametes (men). FALSE.
How you decide if you see a man or a woman in public on 99.9% of occasions is a matter of chromosomes, hormones, brains or gametes. FALSE. None of these things are available for inspection on these occasions.
A TRUTH
On the overwhelming majority of occasions whether someone thinks you are a man or a woman or not is a matter of if you pass socially as either of those things according to cultural customs. It relies on prior social cues and understandings and has nothing to do with whats in your jeans or your genes.
