    A Short History of Trans Misogyny

    "A beautifully written and argued book." —Torrey Peters, author of Detransition, Baby 
     
     
     
    There is no shortage of voices demanding everyone pay attention to the violence trans women suffer. But one frighteningly basic question seems never to be answered: why does it happen? If men are not inherently evil and trans women do not intrinsically invite reprisal—which would make violence unstoppable—then the psychology of that violence had to arise at a certain place and time. The trans panic had to be invented. 
     
     
     
    Award-winning historian Jules Gill-Peterson takes us from the bustling port cities of New York and New Orleans to the streets of London and Paris in search of the emergence of modern trans misogyny. She connects the colonial and military districts of the British Raj, the Philippines, and Hawai'i to the lively travesti communities of Latin America, where state violence has stamped a trans label on vastly different ways of life. Weaving together the stories of historical figures in a richly detailed narrative, the book shows how trans femininity emerged under colonial governments, the sex work industry, the policing of urban public spaces, and the area between the formal and informal economy. A Short History of Trans Misogyny is the first book to explain why trans women are burdened by such a weight of injustice and hatred.

    DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT THE OFFICIAL BOOK. 
    This is a summary, and it does not accompany the official 
    'Determined: A Science of Life Without Free Will' by Robert M. Sapolsky is a profound exploration of the concept of free will in human behavior. Building on his previous work in "Behave," which delved into the reasons behind good and bad human actions, Sapolsky advances the idea that the nature-nurture interplay significantly dictates our behavior, challenging the notion of a distinct self that controls our biology. 
    The book synthesizes a current understanding of consciousness, blending aspects of reason, emotion, and responses to stimuli across one's lifetime. Sapolsky methodically debunks major free will arguments, traversing through chaos and complexity science, quantum physics, and philosophical concepts. He illustrates how historical medical perspectives, like viewing seizures as demonic possession, have evolved to a more understanding stance that reduces personal blame. 
    Sapolsky also examines the implications of life without free will in the realms of punishment, morality, and societal living. Contrary to fears of anarchy and existential despair, he argues that acknowledging the absence of free will could lead to a more compassionate and humane world where judgment and self-criticism are less prevalent. 'Determined' presents a challenging yet enlightening perspective on human behavior, urging a reevaluation of how we perceive actions and responsibility.
