Procedia Computer Science, 2013 AbstractHesitant fuzzy sets (HFSs), as an extension of fuzzy sets, consider the degrees of membership by a set of possible values rather than a single one. For further applications of HFSs to decision making, we develop a concept of hesitant fuzzy preference relations (HFPRs) as a tool to collect and present decision makers’ (DMs) preferences.

Putting the Femme in Feminist: Trans Feminism and the ‘Male Lesbian’ in the American Second Wave
Gender &History, EarlyView.ABSTRACT A slur, a joke or a post‐structuralist case of mistaken identity. To the extent that the male lesbian has been discussed, she has figured dismissively.
