SUDDENLY, A MAN is on sale!
This book is an analysis of the #nonbinary social position through the lens of the patriarchy, #transfeminism, and #transandrophobia theory. It intends to show how nonbinarity is feared throughout history.

Ich lese derzeit "Wer hat Angst vor Gender" von Judith Butler. (im englischen Original)
Das Ende von Kapitel 5 und Kapitel 6 sind für mich die ersten argumentativ wirklich starken. Es ist spannend, dass sich Butler stark bei phänomenologischen Ansätzen bedient wenn they den Widerspruch zur Zurückbesinnung zu "biologischem Geschlecht als unveränderlichem Fakt" (oft im Sinne des "gesunden Menschenverstandes") formuliert.
Die Ansätze (Butler vs. Phänomenologie) wurden m.W.n. häufig (je nach Lesart) im Widerspruch gesehen und/oder das eine in der Notwendigkeit einer Ergänzung durch das andere. Für mich bestätigt they nun etwas die Lesart die ich bisher hatte.
Butler liefert hier eine mögliche Gegenargumentationslinie gegen - vor allem - TERF Ideologie / die "gender critical" Bewegung.
Ein paar mehr Referenzen hätte ich mir gewünscht, da they sich konzeptuell bei einigen Phänomenolog*innen bedient. Da hätte mich interessiert welche Texte besonders von Einfluss waren.
Die ersten Kapitel des Buchs fand ich einen guten Überblick über die weltweite anti-gender und anti-trans Bewegung - für mich war da aber noch wenig neues dabei und mir fehlte etwas die argumentative Stärke für their "Gender als Schreckgespenst" Postulat - abgesehen von der scheinbar selbst-evidenten Absurdität vieler Positionen, wie beispielsweise der Vergleich von Gender-Theorie und Massenvernichtungswaffen durch den Papst.
Ich bin allerdings auch tief im Thema und Quereinsteiger*innen werden in den Kapiteln sicher Hintergründe finden bei denen ihnen "die Ohren schlackern".
Insofern wird ein notwendiger zeitgeschichtlicher und aktueller politischer Hintergrund geliefert der zum Verständnis aktueller Debatten notwendig ist. Auch ihre Aussagen zu anti-gender Bewegungen als faschistoiden Strömungen werden in Kontext gesetzt.
Jetzt muss ich ein paar meiner eigenen Essay-Ideen nicht mehr schreiben weil Butler die Verknüpfungen schon gemacht hat ... aber eigentlich finde ich das super - denn their Buch ist eines der wenigen deutschsprachig verfügbaren Werke, die diesen Bereich beleuchten. Zudem ist es deutlich leichter zu lesen als deren frühere Texte.
Jetzt bin ich mal gespannt was noch kommt.

Essays on Transfeminism
*started reading this digitally but turns out, I can‘t stand reading literature digitally other than the Uni stuff I can‘t get otherwise. Dolls, support the authors … damnit!
Today, I'm chewing on Kate Manne's theory of misogyny as a social force for policing the roles of "human giver" and "human being" in what it has to say about the shapes of transmisogyny. I'm not sure if others have developed it in this way, but here's the thoughts it spurred in me.
It's especially this summary of Manne's framework in Nagoski & Nagoski's "Burnout" that got me thinking:
"Kate Manne describes a system in which one class of people, the “human givers,” are expected to offer their time, attention, affection, and bodies willingly, placidly, to the other class of people, the “human beings.” The implication in these terms is that human beings have a moral obligation to be or express their humanity, while human givers have a moral obligation to give their humanity to the human beings." (Nagoski & Nagoski, p. 8)
Of course, cis women are expected to be and socialized into the role of "human giver" while cis men are expected to be and socialized into the role of "human being," and if a woman should choose to act as a human being, rather than solely a giver, she is then punished - this is how the system of misogyny is enforced.

do people realize #feminism is for all #genders, and therefore #transfeminism is also for all genders? it's not just for #trans women, i promise.

just read the worst transfeminist framework ever and their (multiple editors) idea of nonbinary people is that we dont suffer more than binary trans people in a cissexist/dyadist world because we "dont transition" and that we are more likely to side with tMRAs because "the AFAB gendervoid it/is user will be prone to benefit from masculinity rather than femininity" while the nonbinary AMAB will always side with transfemininity to pass.
what.
Sex and gender are constructs of the Patriarchy. The patriarchy only recognizes two binary genders, which are based on one of two binary sexes that someone is assigned at birth. You are either assigned male and a man, or you are assigned female and a woman. Those are your only choices under the patriarchy.
Cis men are at the top, and cis women are below the cis men. But BOTH of those groups are above anyone who doesn't conform to the system. And, if we want to be specific, it's white cis men and white cis women.
Trans people, however, do not conform to the system. Therefore, we are all oppressed by it. We cannot be privileged by it, nor can we benefit from it. This is also why trans men do not fit into the patriarchal social class of "men": that class only contains cis men. Therefore, we do not benefit from any privileges assigned to cis men under the patriarchy. Because we're not cis men. And the only "man" the patriarchy recognizes are cis men.
Radfems: "Agender is just another box!!"
How should I describe my relationship to gender, then? Do an interpretive dance? Oh no, what I should do is just identify as "female". But how is adhering to the patriarchal sex binary not also a box??
(based on real conversations I've had)
Radfems: "Only radfems promote the idea of having no genders! Trans people don't!"
Me, a literal agender person: "So you support nonbinary, agender, and genderqueer people?"
Radfems: "NO! You're all freaks promoting the trans agenda that wants to force gender on everyone!"
Me, a literal agender person: "…"
What a summer it was. I'm 25 weeks on E, I've studied like crazy (and I keep doing it, especially #JuliaSerano), I've had my first true experience with #TransMisogyny when I was forced to flee the apartment in which I had been living for a year and a half because my ex flatmate was abusive and the landlord didn't care, I started a #queer collective and I left it a few days ago because the rest of the members did not care (and at one point someone wanted to admit a cis straight man eww), I started psychotherapy...and a lot more than I can remember now. I never got bored in my life but dammit it was the longest journey so far and, honestly? I can't wait to see what's coming next.

I've made some quick graphics to try to show what I spent a bunch of words explaining. I don't view sex or gender as a "core" identity onto which other identities are pinned. I think your sex/gender is one of many identities you have.
Trans man: "Radfems (both cis and trans radfems) have a critically limited view of sex and gender because they base everything on the idea that sex/gender is the most important identity someone has, and that all males/men oppress all females/women."
People who can't read: "Shut up, radfem."
Make it make sense. I think it's just that I was assigned female at birth that makes people say these things. "An AFAB dared to talk in a trans space!! She–I mean "he"–must be a radfem!"
One of the big concepts I learned from feminism is that we ought to stop thinking of “man” and “male” as “default human being”.
This is relevant to a lot of things, including healthcare, where the physiology of people assigned female at birth is often neglected.
I think we also need to stop thinking about sex and gender as “the privileged gender/sex that oppresses” and “the marginalized gender/sex that is oppressed”.
I’m not saying that the patriarchy does not assign privilege to males who obey their place in the system—aka, cis men. I’m saying that this privilege is not coming from maleness/manhood. It comes from the patriarchy and is granted based on OBEDIENCE to a prescribed role. And, I AM saying that the patriarchy confers privileges to females who behave “properly” in their assigned role. A cis woman who conforms will gain privilege over cis women who don’t. Ask a lesbian. Now, she’ll never have as much privilege as a cis man, of course—that’s not her place in the hierarchy. But she can access a “better” place in her tier.
And yes, race plays a huge role in this. A black man can never be a white man. And American patriarchy specifically is white patriarchy. Which means a black man can never be a full man under American patriarchy. The same hierarchy applies to black women and white women in America. This goes for all races. America runs on white supremacy.
Being intersex plays a role in this too. The patriarchal gender binary requires society to sort people into one sex or the other with no overlap, no ability to consider anything else other than male or female. And when intersex folks don’t or can’t conform to the sex they were assigned at birth, they face oppression from the moment they are born.
So I think we need to stop imagining sex/gender as a core identity that other identities get tacked onto. If we think that way, it’s basically impossible to imagine a marginalized man, because that core maleness or manhood will always keep him in a position of privilege above half the population of the planet. This is how we get white women claiming it’s impossible for them to oppress black men, because they see “man” as the most important, core identity he has. No matter how bad a man’s life might get, no matter what other identity he may carry, she thinks his manhood supersedes it all.
This idea of sex/gender as a core (and unchanging) identity is very common among radfems. No cis woman on Earth can ever oppress a man in any way. No person assigned male at birth can ever become part of an oppressed class in a way that would put him below a “real” woman. There are some trans men who fall into this camp, but not many.
The trans radfems tweak this slightly, but instead of believing privilege comes from sex assigned at birth, they claim it comes from a person’s gender. This means they think trans women are the ultimate oppressed class, below literally everyone else on Earth. They think every trans man is an oppressor with privilege equal to a cis man. They have grasped the idea that the privilege granted to someone assigned male at birth is conditional and can be taken away, but they erroneously believe that simply identifying as a man is all it takes for the patriarchy to give you privilege. This is why they think being assigned female at birth is a privilege no matter what: if she’s a cis woman, she has cis privilege over the trans woman. If he’s a trans man, he has privilege over the trans woman based on gender. If they’re nonbinary, they’re clinging to their afab status to maintain cis privilege while trying to distance themselves from cis womanhood. Trans radfems only have half the story.
Trans people assigned female at birth know the other half. We KNOW that privilege isn’t granted the moment you say “I’m a man”. We KNOW that the patriarchy doesn’t consider us men. We are, and will always be, misbehaving women who are avoiding our prescribed role of dutiful housewife popping out babies. Some of us can, on occasion, “go stealth” on the street which can get us temporary, conditional privilege, but that doesn’t always extend to the private medical setting, or the bedroom, or the bathroom. Ignoring the trans afab perspective on identity creates flawed theory that cannot tackle patriarchy at its core.
Sex/gender is not the core of a person’s identity. It is just one of many pins we can wear.
Today I got called an “uwu afab”, a bitch, AND a cunt, all for daring to say that as a trans man, I deserve a voice in feminism and transfeminism.

Hey pups sorry but if you want to make a post about feminism and consent and misogyny and society and sexism,
in the year 2025
You’re gonna have to acknowledge trans people exist and how they fit into that dynamic.
Because if you don’t, and you go on to treat “men” as a monolithic class with no nuances,
you’re gonna get called out on that.
On Sunday, March 23rd our co-op will be hosting author Sophie Lewis, whose razor sharp thinking—ever provocative and visionary—has made them one of our favorite feminist writers. Speaking on "enemy feminisms" (the topic of their most recent book), @reproutopia catalogs our movement's bad kin while making the case for the bold, liberatory politics we need to overcome fascism, nationalism, femmephobia, and cisness.
You can find more event information, and copies of "Enemy Feminisms: Terfs, Policewomen, and Girlbosses Against Liberation," at https://firestorm.coop/events/3310-feminists-against-liberation-a-conversation-with-sophie-lewis.html.
"This book is mandatory reading for anyone interested in a rough and compelling vision of the feminist past, present, and future. Honest, brutal, historically comprehensive, and brilliant."

Today is not a day just for feminism.
Today is yet another day to remind ourselves about the intertwinkng of all the issues we face, hence the value of the intersectionality of our fights.
Firstly, and most importantly, we should get used not to call ourselves feminist, but transfeminist. Trans rights are human rights! 🏳️⚧️
Let us always recognise how gender violence cannot be decoupled from political, economical, and climatic violence.
Let us see the people around us, by our side, not just those who do not want to accept our freedom. We stand together, or we don’t.
💕 Tons of love for you all, tons of fuckyous to all self-centered white males who think they have it all figured out.
