@nyx @larsfrommars Butler sucks and performativity is neoliberal crap. Existence is experience, not performance. Re TERFiness I reject the notion that recognizing womens oppression being rooted in the burden of reproduction (materialist/marxist feminism) means that trans women are excluded from feminism. They're considered worthless or whores in the way women who aren't mothers/madonnas are cast. Also trans feminism is compatible with existential (de beauvoirian) feminism (lived experience as a woman with an individually varying degree of female socialization) whereas identitarian queer theory is essentialist/idealist, asserting some sort of feminine geist along a spectrum with a masculine dyad. My last take is that radfems have a greater likelihood of destroying gender by including a caste of people who inherently challenge it. Or at least, should be challenging it if they weren't so desperate to self-validate with regressive ideas about gender roles. I blame internet brainrot.
