Treichler talk.

Paula Treichler's article, AIDs, Homophobia, and Biomedical Discourse: An Epidemic of Signification", was extremely eye-opening and in some cases humorous. However sad, I love the part on pg. 17 describing how doctors in the early years of the epidemic thought that missionary position was a safe bet. They continue to delve deeper into the real issues like, "[AIDs]is a gay disease: how can a virus carry a disease from one man's body to another man's? Where would it get in?" Genius. I especially loved the part about my rugged vagina being more capable of handling trauma. Illustrations included? No thank you.
