Some articles on gender and gender identity
For the benefit of recent subscribers (thanks!), here's an evolving list of the essays I've written on gender, mostly for Genspect.
I really appreciate your comments on, shares of and restacks of my articles, because as an independent researcher without a social media presence it seems very difficult to reach new readers for long-form writing in a media landscape saturated with soundbites and hot takes. Particularly if you're not just repeating well-known themes to please people and confirm their beliefs.
So, here's the list, most recent publication first:
