I am putting stuff together in a book - but no one would ever publish it, I fear.

I'm currently thinking of the book as sort of a travelogue through, or a set of dispatches from/about, the strange "new" world where sexism and sex stereotypes reign supreme, which I've come to call "Genderland." Toying with titles like "Notes from Genderland" in homage to Dostoyevsky or "Alien in Genderland" in a nod to Lewis Carroll. Or maybe "Stranger in Genderland" like Heinlein... or "Journeys in Genderland"... None of these are right, but you get the idea, LOL.

Also, I've decided that I have to make some of it funny. So much of this ideology and movement are laughably absurd and would be hilarious if it all wasn't so deadly serious and seriously fucked up and genuinely harmful.

Self-publish. Or contact people who've published already - Abigail Shrier, Helen Joyce - and ask them for help... You have the correct credentials.

I would suggest keeping the title short. I think Genderland works - I actually love it. And I agree that a bit of humor really helps.

I also hope you donate the research that doesn't make the book, including your SAIDIT posts, to a blog that can make it available to the public. It would be very valuable to current activists, but also future historians and researchers.

I am really glad you're doing this!
