Queer theory and bestiality: LGBTQ…Z?

I just came across this on Twitter - though it seems to have been originally published in print in 2012.

www.cambridge.org/core/journals/hypatia/article/abs/lgbtqz/85A2B98B6708318C7C7DAAE40D15D4C9#

I can't work out from the abstract what it's arguing, but perhaps someone else will have better luck.

"Oh no, not again"

  • a relevant Hitchhiker's reference I feel we can all appreciate.

Time travelling whales is surely a Hitchhikers Guide reference?!

Well either people in academia have completely lost their marbles or its a spoof. I did once watch a TV programme in which some mad American married his horse but I kind of wish I hadnt.

@FloralBunting

Obviously this proposal deserves no respect or credence at all.

But I'd really like to know more about time travelling whales.

I want to know more about time travelling whales too!

Previously I thought they just traveled through space, which of course didn’t go well for the whale 😢

The love that dare not squeak its name?

I think it means you can shag an animal as long as you tell it that you love it first.

Clearly the time-travelling whales have received the COVID vaccination containing time-travelling nano-particles. Naomi Wolf tried to warn us.

....And it's at Duke!

So can we shag the time-travelling whales???

I assumed this must be a pisstake, like Swift's "Modest Proposal," but worryingly it looks real.

Coooo-eeeeee! Flipper! Where are you???

From the link:

She doesnt give much guidance, often makes irrational and uninformed claims, and even believes zoophilia and bestiality are part of the LGBTQ community (dont believe me? Read the article LGBTQ...Z?)

Worst prof I've had at Duke. Tells you incorrect things about science (like whales can time travel).

InspiralCoalescenceRingdown · 12/08/2021 10:29

My attempt at a translation:

"Queer theory means you can shag animals."
