Yale 'Queer Science' class asks 'Can facial recognition technology really tell if you’re queer?'

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.”

Campus Reform has contacted Yale University for comment. This article will be updated accordingly.

According to these people, probably everyone is queer.

I remember the first groundbreaking study on this several years ago, it was interesting and I may have posted it here.

P.S. I remember long ago they had a movie “Real Science”

I await the woke remake “Queer Science” which will no doubt also turn into a cult classic

I remember someone once remarked that Barney Frank sounded like a cartoon character (most likely Daffy Duck). It’s hard to take someone seriously when they sound like that.

If you are in this class, Sttevie Wonder AND Ray Charles can tell if you’re queer.

I am 110% sure it was a guy just like Paul Pelosi latest gay rent a boy. I wonder how much Paul Pelosi paid the last gay boyfriend to go away and how much the latest one will get paid?

I always thought people turn homosexual because they can’t get normal sex.

If the opposite sex rejects them because they were born unattractive, and they turn homosexual, is it the homosexuality that was hereditary or just the ugliness?

Of course, homosexuals will never admit to this - but I think every prison proves its true - lack of opposite sex turns lots of people into homos.

I’m sure such courses will help prepare these college students for a competitive job market - but with DEI policies embedded in so many businesses now maybe that kind of course WILL enhance one’s resumé.

That's a good point.   Barney did have a funny way of talking.

I think a lot of people (men, at least, and maybe women, too) have been abused as children.

There’s not a lot children can do to protect themselves when that young, but the damage sticks.

The other day I saw a short clip of a conservative commentator I wasn’t familiar with. He made good sense and I looked him up to see who he was.

My gaydar also went off even though he was dressed in a business suit and had an unremarkable room.

Somehow they are often easy to pick out.

I never understood how being a victim of child abuse would make someone grow up and abuse their own children. I would think it would be the opposite: a kid that got abused would know how horrible it is and want to protect his own kids from the same experience.

If you get mugged do you turn into a mugger? What am missing?
