Because the question is above all: what appeals to you in the texts? You may very well feel that something appeals to you without yet understanding it. 1173

Reposted by Penny 🏳️⚧️💕😇Gilles Deleuze For You @deleuzeforyou.bsky.social · 26/10/2025The succession of philosophers is not an eternal sequence of sages, still less a historical sequence, but a broken succession, a succession of comets. Their discontinuity and repetition do not amount to the eternity of the sky which they cross, nor the historicity of the earth which they fly over. 0152

Penny 🏳️⚧️💕😇 @fichtestanpenny.bsky.social · 08/10/2025Well, I think societies like ours are structured around gender/sex roles, and transitioning is moving from one position to another. It is not a necessary feature of such systems that gender/sex position be assigned at birth 120
Penny 🏳️⚧️💕😇 @fichtestanpenny.bsky.social · 08/10/2025This is my view but I don’t think the “assigned at birth” bit is necessary. Trans experience is the experience of transitioning gender or sex. I think there is a dynamic to that which phenomenology can describe 140
