Now that the fascists have taken over, what books, academic studies, and pieces of knowledge should take priority in personal/private archival? I’m thinking about what happened in Nazi Germany, especially with the burning of the Institute for Sexual Science(Institut für Sexualwissenschaft) and what was lost completely in the burnings.

Some of us should consider saving stuff digitally or physically.

    seconding a focus on sexology; we don’t need another Institut für Sexualwissenschaft incident.

    off the top of my head:

    • The History of Sexuality (Michel Foucault 1976 – 84 + 2018)
    • Transgender Warriors (Leslie Feinberg 1998)
    • Gender Trouble (Judith Butler 1990)
    • Undoing Gender (Judith Butler 2004)
    • Caliban and the Witch (Silvia Federici 2004)
    • Black on Both Sides (C. Riley Snorton 2017)
    • The Stonewall Riots (Marc Stein 2019)

    including all the works of Judith Butler and Silvia Federici.

    more academically:

    • Kinsey Reports; The Kinsey Institute: The First Seventy Years; and any other expansions on the work of the Kinsey Institute
    • Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Healthcare: A Clinical Guide to Preventive, Primary, and Specialist Care (Kristen Eckstrand, Jesse M. Ehrenfeld 2016)

    you can probably farm the bibilographies on these.
