Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut is set to host a course this upcoming fall semester that will ask students to focus on 'Queer Science.'
The course will use 'scholarly' and 'political interventions' as methods to introduce to students how each has 'attempted to short-circuit the idea that sex is stable and knowable by science.'
Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut is set to host a course this upcoming fall semester that will ask students to focus on “Queer Science.”
Students who enroll in the course are offered introductory questions to gauge their interest in the topic, including questions like: “Can facial recognition technology really tell if you’re queer?” and “Why is everyone so obsessed with gay penguins?”
The course states that students who enroll will be given a “background in the development of sex science,” including “evolutionary arguments that racialized sexual dimorphism to the contemporary technologies that claim to be able to get at bodily truths that are supposedly more real than identity.”
The course will also use “scholarly” and “political interventions” as methods to introduce to students how each has “attempted to short-circuit the idea that sex is stable and knowable by science.”
The course description furthers this concept by stating that it will highlight “ways that queer and queering thinkers have challenged the stability of sexual categories.”
Led by course instructors Joanna Radin and Juno Richards, the course will also explore “how to put those interventions into practice when so much of the fight for queer rights, autonomy, and survival has been rooted in categorical recognition by the state, and by considering whether science can be made queer.”
According to her university biography, Radin’s fields of interest include “feminist, indigenous, and queer STS.” Likewise, Richards’ research “focuses on transnational modernist and postcolonial literature, with a particular emphasis on queer and trans archives, feminist history, critical legal theory, human rights law, citizenship, social reproduction, queer feminist science, biometrics, and feminist disability studies.”
Similar to Yale, Northwestern University is offering a “universal trans rights” course this upcoming fall semester, which will be a part of the university’s “Gender and Sexuality Studies Program.”
UCLA’s medical school has also recently hired students to write the curriculum for the school’s required “Structural Racism and Health Equity” curriculum, which emphasizes critical race theory and “queer theory.”

Stretch marks around the mouth is a dead giveaway.
There is no gay gene. The science is settled.
A lot of people can tell but I doubt to much more than seventy or eighty percent.
Yes.
"WHAT?"
Most men can’t spot a lesbian unless she’s sporting a buzzcut and Birkenstocks. Women are much better at it.
“’Can facial recognition technology really tell if you’re queer?’”
Absolutely. Just look for the men that are covered in foundation.

Just think, it costs hundreds of thousands of dollars to learn this important stuff.

What if they’re bisexual? A lot of girls today will say they’re “bisexual” even if they don’t intend on being with a girl. It’s just the “in” thing, I suppose to say you are.
you can tell, but only because they WANT you to know so they make themselves talk and look different so that others like them can easily identify them.
On a more serious note, I know gay people who do not look stereotypically “gay” or “lesbian.” They look average, just like anyone else. The media plays up these stereotypes by putting nonsense like drag queens on the air as prominent examples of “gay culture.” Many gay people would like to live their lives quietly just like anyone else. The media distorts that. And this nonsense about gay facial recognition is based on those stereotypes.
The strangest thing about all of this is that the most important thing seems to be to show off what you claim you “are” rather than just be what you are. Maybe the young people coming up will ignore the entire movement and do something else.
obama and Twinkle Toes Tim.
All the gay people I claim as friends are bigtime Trump supporters, and like you said, just want to live their lives and not make a big deal out of it. They don’t ask for anything but to be left alone, and cringe at all the “Pride” stuff.
That’s a faggot. No secret here....continue.
Yes. Absolutely every way. Possible, Actual.
You can usually tell by the way they talk, or how they walk.
Will Yale be offering a bachelor’s degree in Queer Science? Masters? Can someone become a Doctor of Queer Science at Yale?
