When Truth Becomes a Weapon
What happens when your life's work defending one marginalized group suddenly puts you at odds with another? Standing in Florence's science museum, staring at Galileo's preserved middle finger-mounted on alabaster like a sacred relic-Alice Dreger burst out laughing. Here was the old astronomer, eternally flipping off the universe that tried to silence him. That mummified digit became her talisman, a reminder that truth-seeking is messy, uncomfortable, and sometimes makes you everyone's enemy. Galileo didn't just challenge the Church's astronomy; he rejected their right to define reality itself. When he insisted that anyone with a telescope could verify his observations, he unleashed something revolutionary: the idea that evidence, not authority, determines truth. This wasn't merely scientific progress-it was a fundamental shift in human identity, declaring that we discover who we are through investigation, not decree. That same principle would guide Dreger through battles she never anticipated fighting.
