      I think this is even more directly relevant in other fields You can argue that vivisection as a means to study anatomy isn't a major issue in our world today But, say, in history, a person's right to privacy is directly at odds with the desire to know the truth of their lifehttps://twitter.com/kareem_carr/status/1295483945354747905 …

      I wrote a thread where I said pursuit of truth wasn’t and shouldn’t be science’s highest ideal. We scientists talk a good game but I have yet to meet a scientist that would be OK with dissecting a live person against their will if it was the best way to study their disease.

      I've thought a LOT about that issue If a famous person wants their personal effects destroyed, unless it's already known that they committed a crime or great harm that caused them to forfeit that right, their right to privacy outweighs the interest of future historians

      I've thought a lot about this particularly as a result of arguing about Dr. James Barry, and how I think it's unquestionably true that the charwoman who uncovered his corpse committed a grave violation, and it would have been better had his secret never been discovered

      There's a lot of famous people who we'll never know if they were trans, or queer, or cheated on their partner, or had a bastard child, or various other "shameful" things because the people they trusted their secrets with honored that trust

      Since when did being queer or trans become shameful? There’s usefulness to queet kids to know that being queer isn’t some new phenomenon, that queer people always have been, and that we have influenced this world.

      Hollywood and other media will not hestitate to use any suggestion that a criminal/mass murderer/Nazi was queer. Look ar what they did with every story “based ob or inspired by ed gein.”

      Meanwhile they’ll create whole new characters out of whole cloth to erase anyone who made any queer who had any kind of positive contribution to history. (Enigma)

      In a workd where all else was equal I’d probably agree with you. Give the dead their privacy. But we dont live in a fair, unhomophobic, nontransphobic world.

      Queer history has been so effectively stolen from us can you blame us for rushing towards those crumbs?

      I also think that there's a big difference between what people on the Internet call "queer headcanons" -- the speculative work of asserting the right to imagine someone as queer -- and actively demanding proof in a way that violates people's privacy

          And this applies a lot more strongly to the living than to the dead but that you should feel weird about demanding people leave the closet for your benefit either way

          How many queer people had no choice in the matter because there was no terminology at the time they lived? How many were forced into the closet by relatives when they left material they wanted revealed to the world?
