Inventing "Victorian" Sexuality in the 18th Century

Tuesday, June 2, 2026 - 08:03 The Lesbian Historic Motif Project When I work on the chapter for the book version of the Project that explains the various models of sex and gender, one of the hard parts is sorting out the chronology. Every author who works on this subject appears to have their own notion of when the changes happened and how they were promulgated in society. The simple fact is that social theories overlap each other, with multiple contradictory ideas of how human beings function occurring in parallel, even believed by the same people. The easiest way to demonstrate this is to consider all the different ideas and theories people have currently about the nature of gender and sexuality. There is no one uniform idea within a given culture. And yet our ideas shape how we interact and react to each other around the concepts in question.
