Notes on Didi Khayat, p. 860[edit]

From the book review:

"I was born and raised in Egypt, and from early in my life I recognized my attraction to women. My education was entirely in English and French; so when, in my teenage years, I needed to find out about my sexual preference for women, it was to British, American, and French texts that I turned. The references that I found in my family's libraries provided me with the terms for my "proclivities," words that, while they described my sexual preference for women, were not relevant to my life as a teenager growing up in Cairo. By the time I left for Canada in my early twenties, I had already found other women like me who were drawn to their own gender. My experiences with them were sexual, and yet I could not identify our relations as lesbian because this was not a term any of the women would use even to this day."

Therefore the made this arena her research interest and she had visited Egypt to do funded research so she could speak to women who have sex with women WhisperToMe (talk) 11:16, 9 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Notes from Dunne, p. 20 (Discusses factual errors!)[edit]

Dunne stated there were factual errors but the only one he calls out specifically is mamluk: "(correction: Mamluk wealth was inheritable, with wives being the principal direct beneficiaries)" WhisperToMe (talk) 07:27, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Stevenson[edit]

Stevenson discusses nuances of passive versus active. I know a fear discussed was that if a younger male revealed he was penetrated, it means he could get distress in his life and/or other males would target him WhisperToMe (talk) 09:45, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Chapter titles[edit]

Look at The preview in Google Books and you can see the chapter titles:

Chapter 9: "Male Homosexuality, Inheritance Rules, and the Status of Women in Medieval Egypt: The Case of the Mamlūks" p. 161 by Stephen O. Murray

This is proof that medieval Egypt = Mamluk Egypt

The Pakistan chapters are "Not-So-Gay Life in Pakistan in the 1980s and 1990s" by Badruddin Khan (ch. 20, p. 275) and "The Other Side of Midnight: Pakistani Male Prostitutes" (Ch. 19, p. 267) by Hasan Mutjaba

Oops, there's a third: "Two Baluchi Buggas, a Sindhi Zenana, and the status of Hijras in Contemporary Pakistan" (Chapter 18, p. 262), by Nauman Naqvi and Hasan Mutjaba
