Historian of Mormon sexuality and gender

Petrey's Tabernacles of Clay: Sexuality and Gender in Modern Mormonism (2020) is the academic account the other camps argue with. He traces Church discourse from a sin frame to a medical frame to a psychological frame and argues that teachings which are asserted to be eternal have in fact required constant enforcement. The book won the Mormon History Association's best-book award and drew book-length rebuttals from the Interpreter Foundation and BYU Studies.
