UC Berkeley Lecture: It Is ‘Necessary’ to Apply Transgender Studies to Agriculture
The University of California–Berkeley is hosting a lecture about how it is “necessary” to apply gay and transgender studies to agriculture because agriculture is all about reproduction and our food systems will suffer if we don’t.
“So why queer agriculture? This seems like an odd question . . .” says the description, prompting an “uh, yeah” in my head, before continuing with “. . .but it becomes more obvious with research and analysis.”
That second part I’m not so sure about, however, considering how many times I felt like my brain was going to explode as I continued reading.
“Since agriculture is literally the backbone of economics, politics, and ‘civilized” life as we know it, and the manipulation of reproduction and sexuality are a foundation of agriculture, it is absolutely crucial queer and transgender studies begin to deal more seriously with the subject of agriculture,” it states.
You know, food reproduces to make more food so that’s reproduction which means sexuality applies which means we need to talk about how gay and transgender studies apply or something.

Comments
“PhD candidate” says it all. Guessing that Kier searched long and hard for a thesis topic and, like the fill-in-the-blank MAD magazine parody phrase generators, landed on “anthroheterocentric assumptions in transgender agriculture.” Now, if Kier could apply that theme to GMO research, then the lefty loop is complete.
