The "X studies" fields are blatant examples of cultural Marxist ideology masquerading as scholarship in today's elite universities, whether X = African American, Chicano, Gay and Lesbian [LGBTQABCXYZ], Women's [feminist], or anything else. There is really no intellectual content or substance to any of these so-called academic fields of study, just a lot of invented jargon created to dress up minority grievances and to boost self-esteem.
Boy, how right you are. You probably saw it, but if you haven't, check out this thread: "10 Things Every Intersectional Feminist Should Ask On a First Date, and read the article...that crammed a gazillion terms in there about "cisgender" blah blah blah...
If there was any article I would point at to highlight the stupidity of these LQBGAZIPQXCNDF studies, that article would be it!
