I learned a lot and felt many of the arguments, despite being focused on  dated policies, were still relevant for understanding some of the ideological traps that continue to be deployed by “faux movements.” In the case of this book, the faux movements are of elite gay people who are promoting  assimilation-based policy as well as carceral feminism. But, I think it would be just as useful for debunking some of the faux movements I encounter as a planner, such as the YIMBYs (more about this when I can hyperlink.) 

Regrettably, I really struggled with the many times I felt various essayists in this collection downplayed very serious topics or genuine concerns to make their points.
