Purity politics shares common roots with the very systems of oppression criticized by progressive thought. On a deep level, purity politics reproduces the same exclusionary dynamics against which social organizing emerges. Yet, militant culture most often *rewards* purity and not pluralism. π€― π€― π€―

That's so interesting! Did you know that it would have a lasting effect? I am about to start a NBE program and damn, that's inspiring π₯°

Also, if you'd like the best conditions for either immigration or refugee admission, I'd recommend you checking France, Spain and Switzerland. To my knowledge, both France and Switzerland offer amazing universal health care (even for trans ppl, incl. surgeries), with France also covering FFS!

To my knowledge, refugee intake processes in non-transphobic countries do account for context-specific risks for cis-presenting trans people.

Hi @fiercemum.bsky.social! I am so grateful for your thesis on cis supremacy! I thought about that for quite some time and was positively surprised to discover your work in the few results of my then google search. Thanks! π₯°

Classic epistemicide under the guise of "active interest" and "actual care".
I still actively remember my days in academia where so many "research focuses" were actually mostly performativeβespecially in the humanities. Finding people really caring about a topic was actually quite rare.

Unsure if it doable. Going the trans-radfem route might be better suited as historically it's easier to critique actual hegemonies and then then be coopted/recognized by dominant people than to access their traditional symbolical power centers without either major compromissions or erasure

On my side, I ended up being trashed like I was handled by ICE in the last irl trans community I joined with so I am know hyperaware for signs of purity politics and radfem-posturing ppl

I am this relieved whenever I come across a radfem transfem who actually *does the work*, like IRL where I live most of those are insufferable misandrist purity-politics obsessed bitches. So thank you doctor π€
Do you also experience the pattern above IRL?

Furthermore, I'd argue that on a deeper level, implying that sex is not immutable indirectly threatens some subconscious core tenets of many moral economies from nearly all sides.

Also, upholding this distinction had many downstream uncomfortable implications for theoretical perspectives built on normative inclusion through the flattening or erasure of meaningful differences.

... especially in popular versions of gender and queer theory.
As such, it indirectly reflects how the existence of transsex people has been tokenized to advance the interests of gender deconstruction and queering in elite intellectual discourse and academiaβa classical bourgeois recuperation.

This distinction is so useful! I am sadly not surprised that it didn't get traction. Hypotheses as to why:
βͺοΈ βIt doesn't make sense for most people for which their lived sex is already aligned with their subconscious one
βͺοΈ βIt fundamentally complicates the relationship between sex and gender, ...
βͺοΈ βIt doesn't make sense for most people for which their lived sex is already aligned with their subconscious one

I tried to do this in Whipping Girl with "subconscious sex" and "lived sex" but unfortunately it never quite caught on

In many aspects, cisfeminism is fundamentally built on the shared assumption that *AFAB-coded people possess an ontological moral superiority or supremacy because of their AFABness*.
