Sex and Temperament: In Three Primitive Societies

Margaret Mead

@chkrosp @Elizabe08047840 @rtflack7777 @CarlyAtch Again, this is false. I provided three reasons why that is wrong. Would you like more? Sex and Temperament in Three Primitive Societies Margaret Mead (1935) goes into gender identity quite extensively. John Money didn't invent what you think he did. The data refute that.

@stigmacher1 @David80802904 @LisaMarieBoothe @GovStitt Are you familiar with Plato's Republic? (I think this is the source) There is a story about a fictitious political race between a doctor and a candy shop owner. (I can explain it if you are not, but it will take a few tweets.)

@Lady4Links @MidgetSpinnerM @sec_walters I have a lot of respect for professionals. I have friends who are librarians. I don't think I know better than they do. I wouldn't think "The Dead Zone" by Stephen King (bloody pediatric rape with pelvic break) would be something at a high school library, but... what do I know?

Divine Comedy: Inferno/Dante

Dante
Preston Bobo, ChemgodPreston Bobo, Chemgod

@HazeyDaisey17 The KJV is probably the worst translation of The Bible, today. The Message has a point despite its colorful narrative. Also, "Hot hell" is not Biblical. In Dante's Divine Comedy Hell is cold and satan is at the center of a frozen lake.

@_bonewizard While I think this is technically YA, I really enjoyed the "metal" books by Brandon Sanderson, so maybe start with the Mistborn books. So, Mistborn: The Final Empire.
