  1. Hype for the Future 51H: The novaTop Policy on Heteronormativity

    Preamble novaTopFlex maintains political influences that often conflict with the dominant narrative of heteronormativity. Unfortunately, significant attacks on the novaTop Identities are often a direct result of heteronormativity, so the best approach is to simply use captions under images and videos that may be most judged. Fear of judgment has been a particular fear at more formal social events, including the more formal dances, as well as more prestigious institutions with a performative […]

  2. 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’

  3. “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"

  4. Heterosexuality is a regime of political oppression 🧶

    "Just as racism produces race and not the other way round, sexism produces sex through the relationship of domination that reduces the dominated to things or natural objects."
    … said Natacha Chetcuti-Osorovitz summarizing Monique Wittig

  5. #BooksAgainstNormativity

    Hey,
    I'd like to start a collection of books, that are great eye-openers against normative concepts.

    I have read 2 books so far, that I think fit:

    #Ace by #AngelaChen: Maybe the standard work on asexuality and a great book to understand and question allo-normativity (allo(sexual) being the opposite of ace/asexual)

    #Platonic by #MarisaGFranco: An homage to platonic partnerships and against romantic normativity or also allo normativity (allo(romantic) being the opposite of aromantic here)

    I'm next looking for a book on #RelationshipAnarchy to add to the list. Is there like a go-to book or must read? Please let me know.

    Also do you know of any other books, that fit into the collection? It can be about/against any kind of normativity, not just related to gender, relationships and identity.
