if willa ford wanted to mount a *real* comeback she'd skip the christmas tunes and instead make a tribute to the glories of seasonal affective disorder called 'i wanna be sad' (featuring royce da 5'9")

well at least i was able to channel my insomnia into reading this excellent (dark, mystifying, breathtaking) book by melanie rae thon. it's ~190 pages and feels impossible to put down. so much gorgeous yet upsetting/haunting/violent imagery, highly highly recommended 📚💙
a paperback copy of 'as if fire could hide us' by melanie rae thon The cover is a blurry image. It appears to depict a lone tree on a hillside, some sort of bright red light next to it and a yellow burning sun overhead

EH: That is what I’m advocating. Cisness, as the racialized presumption of sexed naturalness, actually affords a great deal of gender expansiveness to white bourgeois people, and in our era this modality of cisness is most visible and significant in the availability of masculine priority to bourgeois white women. One has only to think of the centrality of Crossfit and machine gun masculinity to a MAGA woman like Marjorie Taylor Greene, herself a crusading transphobe. Or TERF valorization of an ill-defined normal, neutral expression of gender over a mocked femininity, which also often comes with a sort of confession of youthful masculinity, presented as the tragedy that they might have been trans boys or misrecognized as such. Or the liberal commitment to the “successful” woman leader who has triumphed over the attempts to contain her in the limiting work of social reproduction. We might think of Greene, J.K. Rowling, and Hillary Clinton as emblematic hanks of this braid. How do we name the reality that these groups of women attain priority and power from the ways they work, work out, dress, and carry themselves, ways that supposedly violate the “stereotypes” or norms of “female gender?” I’m saying that they are not violating norms. Rather, the latitude for white women to engage in masculinist behaviors, even the incentive to do so, is itself an exercise of cisness as a way to express white identity in this moment. The presumed normalness and neutrality of the sex of white people––the cisness of whiteness in other words––is emphasized and enacted, rather than violated by these social forms. The complement of this incentivized white gender latitude, is that cisness racializes the masculinity and femininity of BIPOC people (even when these modes are being expressed in supposed alignment with assigned sex and also when they are in a perceived non-alignment) as artificial, pathological, exaggerated, indeed, as not cis. Consider, for example, Greene’s recent mockery of t… by mounting a white supremacist attack on a Black woman’s audacity to choose to adorn her own body in a feminine way. Or consider the entire history of pathologizing the projected masculinity of men of color, particularly Black men. These are all ways that cisness produces the “hyper”-gender of people of color, the pathologizing of supposed conformity with assigned sex. On the other side, we have the now persistent reality that successful women athletes of color, both cis and trans, are policed with the cudgel of biological gender difference. How do we name the fact that attacks on Black and Arab female-assigned professional and Olympic athletes and the attack on young trans girls and women in high school and collegiate athletics are part of the same regime of sex? The most prominent named targets at the high school and collegiate level have also been Black trans girls and women. Cisness names the damned if you conform, damned if you violate nature of the racial order of sex. Or conversely the production of specific forms of regard and self regard stemming from being “not like the other girls” that are, in fact, part and parcel of power for bourgeois white women. How do we name that this racial form is distinct from butchess and trans masculinity because it is precisely the racial and class dimension of cisness that allows bourgeois women to access masculine priority without being exposed to transphobia, without being associated with the racialized history of transness and queerness? This needle is thread through the constant focus on the moderate, healthy, natural quality of the gender expressions of white women, in other words, through the rhetorical expression of whiteness as the possession and arbiter of cisness. The flipside of this regime exposes cis women of color to transmisogyny and transphobia, to the racialized assertion that their femininity is artificial and/or that their masculinity (whether expressed or simply projected) is unnatural and disqualifies…
