@anarchopunk_girl I remain cautiously optimisitc.

@anarchopunk_girl I don't know how much straight passing privilege that bisexual people really ahve either.

@anarchopunk_girl What im more interested in doing is upsetting the notion that being cisgender and/or heterosexual is somehow natural

@anarchopunk_girl I just don't think we can rule out choice in either even does happen, and that there is a connection between expression and desire.

@anarchopunk_girl Further, these identities can be altered and changed...(individual cases varied). Sexual orientation can change and be changed...by oneself and by society. How else do we explain these "straight" men deciding "femboys are female enough" after being frustrated with women? It's not the best motivation on their part, granted, but it does demonstrate that heterosexuality is not invioable and un-alterable. Neither is gender identity. Someone can be turned queer. Someone can be turned trans. Or choose to become so. Of course the straights can and will try, to varying degrees of success, to make people cis and het by force instead of by choice, but that's what freedom means. Fighting that.

@anarchopunk_girl Rest assured. I don't speak in terms of "biological males" or "biological females". I, at most, speak in terms of specific reproductive organs.

@anarchopunk_girl I don't think biology is harmful here. Their central blindness is the blindness to "gender/sex as meaningful socio-cultural identity". I'd even include biological. It's sort of how I see being autistic: I am meaningfully, on a biological level, different from others. I am on some level inhuman. And that's fine, that's great. Nothing gives me greater pleasure than arousing that cocktail of fear, disgust, fascination, infatuation, with them falling all around me struggling to understand the unfathomable, and make sense of a person who doesn't behave in a human manner.

@anarchopunk_girl I see. I have noticed it somewhat. The weird thing is I otherwise agree with them on a lot of things, except that I think they retain the reductive view of "gender-as-oppression", when gender has multiple definitions to capture multiple forms of gender, much of which is separable from "gender-as-oppression" and "gender-as-sex/gender-roles". My criticism is that it doesn't accelerate far enough; the key is to take command of gender, make it our own, not destroy it. Keep mind fucking to drive straights uncomfortable.

@Threadbane @siderea @Radical_EgoCom @Marshie Well she had a point, but ironically has proven to be hostile to sex workers.

But Gloria didn't start talking about all that until the 70's you know.

@Radical_EgoCom @Threadbane @siderea @Marshie The difference is that you didn't hear about forcible rape as much back then. It was just that hushed up. It really is about increased reporting.

@Threadbane @Radical_EgoCom @siderea @Marshie I won't deny the pill changed women's sexual behavior, and gained the liberty to have more one night encounters. But in places where abortion was legal (and back then, there were parts of the country where it was), I'm sure they saw brisk business from said women. And condoms existed at the time as well, though men no doubt rarely availed themselves of it. I don't want the sexual revolution to be slandered as it didn't make things more bad, it simply made things more visible. Rape happened in marriages, out of marriages, and lots of women who simply couldn't go to an abortion clinic were saddled with an unwanted child no doubt traumatized being raised by a mother they knew didn't want them. Kids can tell.

At any rate, the attitudes men had toward women were pre-existing. All that happened is that it became more visible, more explicit, and less veiled from polite society.

I know you sort of lived that period, but I would caution you. You are repeating deplorable talking points about the sexual revolution, slandering and libeling it.

@anarchopunk_girl Our peers are indigenous anarchists and other anti-authoritarian radicals.

@anarchopunk_girl That's not even what I am talking about. It's more that they get to set the rules on what an appropriate relationship with the land is.

@anarchopunk_girl I think even we individualists are going to have to be willing to meet indigenous people more than halfway. Liberty belongs first to the noninvasive. We...well, both of us to my knowledge, are at the very least the descendants of invaders.

Forget 9/11.

@anarchopunk_girl @CosmicTrigger It isn't necesarily from a bad place, but it ends there.

@anarchopunk_girl @CosmicTrigger Sounds a touch tyrannical if you ask me.

@anarchopunk_girl Your head hurts. If you can, lie down and rest.
