Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #heteronormativity, aggregated by home.social.

  1. While the report doesn't say the #queerphobia of the AfD on its own might be enough to justify a ban, the key points are damning:

    * Dogma of #heteronormativity, "2 genders only"
    * Denial of #NonBinary ppl and a rejection of existing legal protections
    * Delete #marriage equality
    * Defamation of #LGBTQ ppl and #drag queens+kings as "#pedo" or "Satan’s spawn"
    * Intentional deadnaming+misgendering
    * Many AfD ppl ask LGBTQ ppl to STFU while saying "We're not homophobic"
    * #Pride (#CSD) ban proposals

  3. Next up in my book pile -- "#NoSpiritualSurrender - Indigenous #Anarchy" by #KleeBenally, (2023) "#PrairieFire - The Politics of Revolutionary #AntiImperialism" by #TheWeatherUnderground (1974), and "#Antifa - The #AntiFascist Handbook" by #MarkBray (2017).

    I've posted excerpts from Klee's book in the past (which I will re-boost). Both Klee and Mark Bray are in agreement as to who the real enemy is -- the forces of #Colonialism and #WhiteSupremacy.

    Bray writes, "The only long-term solution to the fascist menace is to undermine its pillar of strength in society grounded not only in white supremacy, but also in #ableism, #heteronormativity, #patriarchy, #nationalism, #transphobia, #ClassRule, and many others," (Antifa, page 209), and offers up #Socialism, which is #Antiauthoritarian and #NonHierarchical as a solution.

    And indeed, 1974's Prairie Fire, paints a similar picture, offering up a map of North America before and after #Colonization. (And yes, I would love to scan in all the illustrations and tables, but unfortunately, the 1974 copy is well-read and very delicate. It belonged to a coven-mate and fellow activist friend, who left it to me when they passed away -- along with a slew of other radical and pagan books). I did find some archived versions, sans illustrations, online.

  8. Hype for the Future 83/284: Life beyond Heteronormativity, Iceland 🇮🇸 Edition

    Introduction Though Iceland has largely maintained a relatively plural culture for over a millennium, the term “heteronormativity” as utilized in the modern day has not existed as of yet. However, the Icelandic culture has largely avoided romantic and sexual centralization as with many European cultures elsewhere. History Much of what is today Iceland is largely determined by the Viking settlers, largely associated with a region that has traditionally spanned the island, the Faroe […]

  13. Speciesism, racism, sexism, ableism, ageism, queermisia etc are all part of the same ideology of domination and supremacy and exploitation "they are objectively below us and it is our natural right to exploit and discard them and they have no right to fight back"

    When you look at carnism through this lens it becomes obvious why anarchism and veganism are part of the same ideology that exists in opposition to domination in opposition to supremacy and in opposition to exploitation

    Modern Issues Unfortunately, capitalism is a crisis, resulting in privatization, the race to the bottom, profit maximization, and forced extraction, also all of which are crises. With each and every crisis comes the crisis of marketing, since marketing often demands on the end goal of a monopoly, very similar to the idea that monogamy is somehow “natural” for everyone. Unfortunately, racism, sexism, classism, ableism, and other discriminatory practices are just natural results of this […]

  27. Peer Pressure is a Capitalist Construct

    The idea that all individuals must eventually find someone at all is a capitalist construct that literally underscores the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion in society. Even in cases where additional freedom is permitted, the idea that singlehood is somehow “taboo” is more or less also a capitalist construct. Again, because “traditional values” are inherently social constructs, while human diversity is extremely important for societal acceptance, development, progress, […]

  32. The persistence of heteronormativity is not only due to the weight of social conventions and norms, but also to material conditions of existence: being in a couple means having more resources. Sophie Lewis asserts that the conditions of heterosexuality are inseparable from economic realities: ‘Most women are too overworked, too exhausted by the demands of capitalism and its culture of compulsory enjoyment to even have the opportunity to learn to love.’

    Sophie Lewis wrote ‘Abolish the Family: A Manifesto for Care and Liberation’

  37. “I simply do not see why the nation has to have an official sexuality, especially one that authorizes the norm of a violent gentility; that narrows the field of legitimate political action; that supports the amputation of personal complexity into categories of simple identity; that uses cruel and mundane strategies both to promote shame for non-normative populations and to deny them state, federal, and juridical supports because they are deemed morally incompetent to their own citizenship. This is the heterosexuality I repudiate.”

    ― Lauren Berlant, in "The Queen of America Goes to Washington City: Essays on Sex and Citizenship"
