There are other forces at work in this world, besides the will of evil 🌱 thinking about state violence, surveillance, ecological crisis, and a utopian trans resistance

If it was so self-evident and unassailable there wouldn't be sweeping authoritarian bans on changing sex.

The patriarchal world is tearing itself to bits in order to cling to fictions it can no longer reasonably maintain.

since everyone is aware it can't fit her perfectly (it fits no woman perfectly, that's the point). like you can critique my artistic practice but if youre not even seeing what i'm doing as such then you're not even on the same wavelength

whenever someone's like "womanhood was/seems like a stifling experience but trans women embrace it" it almost feels a bit insulting b/c every trans women i know [also] forges her own relationship to what being a woman means as creative & artistic practice against womanhood's expectation or policing

the fact that the average person just does not give a half of a shit about trans people and what is being done to us daily (and what is being threatened) is really really really starting to wear me down. just total apathy, even from the people that purport to care

make no mistake, the right's criticism of modern society through advocating the freedom of natural hierarchy doesn't look "primitivist". on the contrary, advanced technology can be instrumentalized precisely to try and reinforce or "make scientific" natural hierarchy. sex, race, the mind ...

the right wing criticism of modernity always operates the same: it identifies the alienation of modern life, but its solution is to respond to this state of affairs with the so-called "freedom" of "natural hierarchies": man over woman, white over racialized, family over foreigner, nation over other

trans woman: I am a woman and am taking fairly straightforward measures to establish that womanhood in my body and in the world queer theorist: I agree, in the sense that no one is and everybody always was. the native. the totally other. a kind of drumbeat beyond time. similar to LSD. we are raving

Transition is a practice of self-abolition, and it demonstrates that abolition involves both destroying/ending and building/creating in a way that threatens all ideologies of natural right, of hierarchy and power with a simple gesture of desire and self-knowledge

ICE must be destroyed 🏳️‍⚧️🏴 @miawong.bsky.social · 26/08/2025
Please I am begging everyone to stop saying that Pritzker hasn't thrown trans people under the bus when he refuses to enforce his state's own anti-discrimination laws to force hospitals in Illinois that have stopped providing gender affirming care to minors to do it Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

The first rule of Taylorism: "The managers assume the burden of gathering together all of the traditional knowledge which in the past has been possessed by the workmen". AI is an attempt to similarly collect knowledge, but within an algorithm.

We should think of the "intelligence" in artificial intelligence not as any kind of mental property, but as the kind one gathers - the stuff of central intelligence agencies. Then we can immediately understand that AI is a technological form of Taylorism, a way for capital to accumulate power.

ironically, states' weaponization of "sex =/= gender" to double down on "biological sex" as the gendering of the body has reconfigured "transsexuality" in the trans commons lately as a more rebellious conception (declaring that sex itself is social, malleable) rather than a passive clinical term

this is to say that also in communist traditions the horizon of women’s freedom is dogged by a silly attachment to the cisness of the bourgeoisie, the mode of expression of which is an allergy to girl stuff,

the fascists are looking to rigidly define gender not just to punish trans people like they claim but to lay the groundwork for the oppression of all women. when gender is legally mutable, it is harder to use it to restrict people’s rights. they want to build a cage around you, made from our bones

We’re in scary times, but remember that the trans people immediately at most risk from the executive orders are those who were already being persecuted under Biden—prisoners, immigrants, full service sex workers etc. It’s okay to be afraid but keep your head in the game.

Murray Bookchin: "[Anarchism's] central focus has always been the only meaningful goal social revolution can have—the remaking of the world so that human beings will be ends in themselves and human life a revered, indeed a marvelous, experience."
