Lacan never spoke of freedom. But he wrote about war (internal and external), just as Sartre and Arendt did. He didn't need freedom as a concept to conceptualize human subjectivity. I tend to side with him: Freedom is too elusive while war is immanent. Sadly. 5/5

None of this occurs in a vacuum. Violence echoes. The attacks on transgender people are intimately tied to the current waves of deportations and the fall of Roe v. Wade, which are part of a larger crackdown on bodily autonomy. Rights are won, and then they are stripped away. For many trans people, this ambivalent dependence on the state is both a privilege and a weakness. We are tied to a political machine that ultimately does not want us. For years, we have been forced to work out creative solutions to bureaucratic snafus; we have celebrated hard-fought victories that often turn out to be short-lived. The state will not save us, we joke, even as we fear that it may very well try to extinguish us.
