“作为对我们时代最具争议辩论的调查，Galileo's Middle Finger 描述了 Alice Dreger 处于科学争议最前沿的经历。二十年来，她一方面为非伦理研究的受害者奔走呼吁，另一方面也捍卫科学家对人类身份开展具有挑战性研究的权利。Dreger 试图在学术自由与伸张正义之间寻求调和的努力，源于她对双性人（intersex，旧称两性畸形者）待遇的研究。外科手术残害与伦理的惊人历史

这种看问题的方式既图省事又自我陶醉。无论左派还是右派，都存在否定科学的现象。爱丽丝·德雷格写的《伽利略的手指：异端、激进分子与一位学者的正义探寻》（Galileo's Middle Finger: Heretics, Activists, and One Scholar's Search for Justice）一书，很好地审视了这一现状。
That's a very convenient and self-congratulatory view of things. Science denialism happens on both the left and the right. The book Galileo's Middle Finger: Heretics, Activists, and One Scholar's Search for Justice, by Alice Dreger gives a good survey of the terrain.
我建议你找来看看爱丽丝·德雷格写的《伽利略的中指》（Galileo's Middle Finger）[1]。简而言之，它指出了教条与科学发生冲突时的虚伪。当你的世界观被真正的科学打得粉碎，以及我们如何通过不把科学单纯政治化来做更好的人……
I suggest you pick up and read "Galileo's Middle Finger" [1] by Alice Dreger. In short it points to hypocrisy when dogma and science collide. When your worldview is shattered by actual science and how we can be better people by not politicizing science only…
请定义一下“女人”。我不是在讽刺。你通常学到的关于这些术语的二元性，往轻了说是过度简化，实际上根本就是错的。去读读《伽利略的中指》吧，这是一本绝佳的入门读物。
Please define “woman”. This is not sarcasm. What you’ve generally been taught about the binariness of these terms is an oversimplification to say the least, and wrong. Read Galileo’s Middle Finger as an excellent primer.
……在职场环境中面临后果。有点像伽利略当年的遭遇？有时社会规范认定的“无知”其实是错的。如果你还没看过，我强烈推荐《伽利略的中指》这本书。作者是个左翼人士，职业生涯初期是名活动家，为双性人（一个边缘群体）争取人道待遇。但后来在她的职业生涯中，她发现很多人……
…consequences in professional settings. Sort of like Galileo did? Sometimes the societal norms of what is considered "ignorant" are wrong. If you haven't come across it, I would highly recommend the book Galileo's Middle Finger. It was written by a lefty who started her career as an activist fighting for the humane treatment of intersex people (a marginalized group). But later in her career she discovered lots of people who…
……为人类带来实用进步的人往往都是混蛋。我怀疑这种联系已经存在好多个世纪了。参考苏格拉底和智者学派等。（在这类书里，有一本很不错的叫《伽利略的中指》）
…people who produce usable advances in mankind tend to be jerks. I suspect this relationship has held up over centuries. cf Socrates and the Sophists, etc. (A good book among many along these lines is "Galileo's Middle Finger")
《玛格丽特·米德的风波：对其萨摩亚研究的历史分析》也受到了学界的质疑 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Mead#Criticism_by_Der... 例如，爱丽丝·德雷格在她2015年的著作《伽利略的中指》中辩称，弗里曼的指控毫无根据且具有误导性。保罗·尚克曼2009年由威斯康星大学出版社出版的对这场争议的详尽综述，支持了……
The Fateful Hoaxing of Margaret Mead: A Historical Analysis of Her Samoan Research was challenged by academics too https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Mead#Criticism_by_Der... i.e. In her 2015 book Galileo's Middle Finger, Alice Dreger argues that Freeman's accusations were unfounded and misleading. A detailed review of the controversy by Paul Shankman, published by the University of Wisconsin Press in 2009, supports the…
