The stuff on non-heteronomative mating was good, the trans/intersex/ace stuff not so much

My enjoyment of the book was really uneven. There's good stuff in there! But the Victorian patriarchal lens on biology is tiresome and the early mention of Roughgarden's work made me expect better :/

The author seems best able to be critical of when biology is doing patriarchy when it comes to same-sex mating, and I felt he did a good job showing how absurdly heteronormative biologists can be. When he shifted into trying to cover "trans" stuff is when things started going downhill for me. (Trans is in quotes since so much of the "trans" content is actually intersex, cosexual, or dichogamous)
