Great list!

One recent book I’ve read that happens to have some really interesting perspectives as well as useful terms (“co-gendered” is one I really like) is ‘Shamans of the Foye Tree’. I did a review of it in Anthro News.

I think it’s terrific that you are teaching this course! We just need to get you a full time tenured spot somewhere that pays super!

I’m sure you’ve already answered, but I can’t find it. Just curious – what school are you teaching at?

cissexual / cisgender comes from a couple of places, most notably Julia Serano’s Whipping Girl.

Ok, I give up…what author/article is this list of terms based on? Can you provide definitions with the terms, too?? I thought I was up on my gender terms, but several in the list I have never heard of before, such as “cissexual/cisgender.”

I took a gender study class at the U of MN years ago.

I want my money back.
