 Roughgarden's take on validating the spectrum of sexuality and gender through the language of biology is a really interesting argument. What stuck with me most while doing the readings was not so much the arguments themselves but language of these arguments, specifically Roughgarden. There were times while doing the reading that I was lost because of the jargon used was not accessible to me, because I am a sociology major. I feel like my experience with the readings can explain the reason why interdisciplinary relations are difficult and rarely happen. Paul Grobstein explained the various disciplines as different stories derived from observations of the world. The problem arises when those stories are told in a language we don't understand. It can become confusing and off-putting. Moreover, when disciplines believe that their stories are the best way to explain our world, it is harder to for us to believe each other.
