HAA oh yes. It was a 200- or 300-level English class cross-listed with gender studies and film, and was an exploration of the representations in television, movies, and literature of “alien” forms of sexuality, and the takeaway was that nobody has any originality and they were, spoiler alert, just mostly using rhetorical framing to talk about fears and concerns about human sexuality.

It was taught by a former writer for Star Trek TNG though, so she knew of what she spoke; a phenomenal professor, she specialized in speculative fiction, with a focus on medieval forms thereof, because honestly there is nothing new under the sun.
