  1. I'm not sure the gender debate is all that these days with the distraction factory in DC; nonetheless, I've been reading Judith Butler's Gender Trouble.

    open.substack.com/pub/brywilli

    I like Butler's ideas a lot, so I wanted to engage her material directly. Beauvoir is another favourite.

  4. In this video, I describe the gender debate in terms of ontology, grammar, and incommensurability.

    This is part of a series of use cases that demonstrate the mechanics of my essay, 'Grammatical Failure: Why Liberal Epistemology Cannot Diagnose Indoctrination' (doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18521457).

  8. Since the 1990s, scientists have known that chemical pollution causes frogs to be sex-reversed or intersex and believed that this is inherently harmful. But in 2019, environmental scientist Max Lambert and Melina Packer, a social scientist, collaborated on investigating the subject through a queer feminist lens, challenging assumptions about masculine and feminine behaviors and the "wrongness" of supposedly "feminized" males. In an extract from a new book, "Feminism in the Wild," reproduced in MIT's The Reader, Packer and her co-author Ambika Kamath explain how this approach led to new discoveries.

  14. CW: Impromptu gender theory analysis of Office Space and the issue of flair

    "Doesn't it bother you that you have to put on a bunch of pieces of flair?"

    This is my question to anyone who's never stopped to think about the clothing choices that societal expectations have mandated for them. Flair isn't just the little pins and buttons that a Chotchkie's server is expected to wear, it's every visible article of clothing that covers (or exposes) your body, from jeans and a t-shirt to little black dress.

    Maybe you're a Brian who loves to meet if not exceed gender flair expectations, or maybe you're a Joanna who begrudgingly wears the minimum amount to make it through the day without harassment. It's totally ok to be a Brian, but it's also totally ok to be a Joanna and express yourself by rejecting the 37 pieces of flair minimum.

    Just something to think about, especially if you do find yourself bothered by the mandated flair.

  18. #Eugenics argued that eliminating the unfit, incurably ill, and insane would save absurd expenses for the state. The #gendertheory reframes mental distress as an asset and compel everyone to pretend to believe it.
    But we can chose from a broader spectrum of possibilities.

  25. I found this video excellent. I know it just scratches the surface, but there's still a lot of fundamental ideas and questions in it. I've been wanting for years to read Butler's "Gender Trouble," but haven't yet. Someday soon, probably.

  29. Today I posted the culmination of the last nine months of my writing. I advance the theory that gender is not a static event, but a continuous mediation between our deeply-seated motivations and our social environment.

    It seems obvious, but somehow anti-LGBTQ rhetoric misses the point.

  33. Current (bottom row) and up-next (top row) reads: I'm far enough along in the currents to heartily recommend both

    The Dawnhounds is a Māori rooted SFF book with fantastic characters, voices, and really wonderful worldbuilding, and just queer af--little over half way through it, and it's really difficult to put down. (Found this one from a rec on Bookstodon.)

    Heaven, by Emerson Whitney is a kind of poetics of gender, a slim and heavy volume, beautiful and brutal, embodied and interrogative... great storytelling, right along and under and over citing Irigaray, Butler, C. Riley Snorton, Julia Kristeva. I am vibing well with a lot of what Emerson is dancing to.

    (Nota bene: The library-book-banners would haaaaaate both of these books, which are very very definitely in our local libraries.😁)

  37. The parallels and ties between #GenderExploratoryTherapy (#GET) and #ConversionTherapy appear fairly clear. GET appears specifically modeled on the notion that being #trans is pathological & still serves as a strict #gatekeeping measure designed to discourage and ultimately prevent transition-related medical services. In other words, it's complete bullshit.
