I distinctly remember some years ago the very same feral hog boomers very upset that young people didn’t care about things outside of their iphone and avocado toast. Now they care about the wrong things and some hot couch guy with a nightstick is coming to cave their head in.
Oh God YES
Where did you read that line (if it isn’t yours)?
I agree with it completely.
I’m ADHD and Autistic and OCD.
Have sleep apnea and probably IBS (lol, though I shouldn’t be laughing).
You put it soooooooooo well just now.
(Also, I have gender dysphoria and don’t feel like a man.)
Thank you! The line is mine, but it’s heavily inspired by “Gender Nihilism” by Alyson Escalate and “The Xenofeminist Manifesto” as well as other feminist works that go against the ‘biological destiny’ narrative, i.e. The Dialectics of Sex by Shulamith Firestone which is ironically enough sometimes cited by TERFs so YMMV but I don’t read the work as justifying their beliefs at all, though I find it disagreeable in other ways.
It is perhaps also worthwhile reading the sort of discourse the above works arose almost in response to: the patriarchal falsification of the biological facts of cis women and suppression of education relating to that which would threaten the patriarchal premise, beautifully illustrated in Evelyn Reed’s “Is biology women’s destiny?” (Marxist Internet Archive), because the above works are written to suggest that while the above is true, it may be that the better line of thinking is to ultimately reject identity, because it’s not the word but the desire to classify people into identities like this that really is ultimately harmful.
Perhaps I should read these! Thanks!
