Summary

Sexual Orientation Metrics explores the challenges of accurately measuring sexual orientation across diverse cultural contexts and demographic reports. This is crucial for understanding health disparities, informing policy decisions, and advocating for LGBTQ+ rights. The book examines the fluidity of sexual identity, cultural variations, and privacy concerns impacting data collection. For example, the Kinsey Scale, while groundbreaking, has limitations in capturing the full spectrum of sexual orientation. The book systematically explores these challenges, starting with core concepts of sexual orientation, identity, and behavior.

 
It critiques commonly used metrics, like self-identification questions, and discusses the impact of question wording and ethical considerations. A unique aspect is its comparative analysis of metrics used in different countries, highlighting cultural nuances. Ultimately, the book proposes a framework for more inclusive and adaptable measurement strategies, analyzing case studies in public health and policy.

 
The book's approach is academic yet accessible, blending data analysis with clear explanations. It progresses by introducing core concepts, critiquing existing metrics, and proposing improvements, making it valuable for researchers, policymakers, and LGBTQ+ advocates seeking a nuanced understanding of sexual orientation measurement and its real-world implications.

    Against all evidence to the contrary, American men have come to believe that the world is tilted—economically, socially, politically—against them. A majority of men across the political spectrum feel that they face some amount of discrimination because of their sex. The authors of Gender Threat look at what reasoning lies behind their belief and how they respond to it. Many feel that there is a limited set of socially accepted ways for men to express their gender identity, and when circumstances make it difficult or impossible for them to do so, they search for another outlet to compensate. Sometimes these behaviors are socially positive, such as placing a greater emphasis on fatherhood, but other times they can be maladaptive, as in the case of increased sexual harassment at work. These trends have emerged, notably, since the Great Recession of 2008-09. Drawing on multiple data sources, the authors find that the specter of threats to their gender identity has important implications for men's behavior. Importantly, younger men are more likely to turn to nontraditional compensatory behaviors, such as increased involvement in cooking, parenting, and community leadership, suggesting that the conception of masculinity is likely to change in the decades to come.

    From basketball hoops to cricket bats, the role community sports play in our cities and how crucial they are to diversity and inclusion.
		 
“The virus exposed how we live and work. It also revealed how we play, and what we lose when we have to stop.” For every kid who makes it to the NBA, thousands more seek out the pleasure and camaraderie of pick-up basketball in their local community centre or neighbourhood park. It’s a story that plays out in sport after sport – team and individual, youth and adult, men's and women's. While the dazzle of pro athletes may command our attention, grassroots sports build the bridges that link city-dwellers together in ways that go well beyond the physical benefits. The pandemic and heightened awareness of racial exclusion reminded us of the importance of these pastimes and the public spaces where we play. In this closely reported exploration of the role of community sports in diverse cities, Toronto journalist Perry King makes an impassioned case for re-imagining neighbourhoods whose residents can be active, healthy, and connected.
		 
“I couldn’t stop reading Perry King’s Rebound. An evocative essay about the transformative and uniting power of local sports in a city with residents from every country in the world, the book is well researched, entertaining, and informative. It spoke to my own experiences as a young athlete fitting into a new city when I first came to Toronto – and to the importance our city government must place on local recreation and sports if our city is to help all residents reach their potential. A fantastic contribution to understanding Toronto – and to the power of local recreation in any major city.” —David Miller, former mayor of Toronto
