*This new sense of the verb queer appears in Merriam-Webster’s online dictionary. The earliest citation for this sense in the Oxford English Dictionary is from 1993. The OED adds this definition: “To make (more) relevant, accessible, or susceptible to audiences or perspectives representing diverse sexual and gender identities.” As I noted in the introduction, the terminology of sex and gender is currently in flux and is sometimes the subject of controversy. In 2014, for example, Facebook let users designate their gender from a drop-down menu that offered male, female, and fifty-six additional options. In this chapter, I will try to use sex and gender terms neutrally and consistently, though some of the sources that I cite use sex and gender interchangeably and a few may take a more biased or confrontational approach.
