I admit, before I read this I didn’t really understand what queer theory is. I kind of got that it was a discipline of analysis of queerness but I hadn’t encountered many specific examples. I think this was a great starting point but also supplement to my ever changing opinions and knowledge on these topics. It’s interesting to me how much of this I had already discussed with friends or seen talked about online, although often in more specific or more general terms than this. I really liked this as a staring point and it helped me understand the big picture a little better, but also understand my own feelings around gender and sexuality, as someone who doesn’t always “fit in” with a lot of the binaries and has found that a lot of those constructs have closed just as many doors as they have opened for me.
