Document Summary
"i don"t want to be seen as one of them" (xvi) trans women have always resisted. "having "made it" leaves me with survivor"s guilt" (xviii) telling stories a revolutionary act. Gender is an evil state apparatus: gender as performative. In bourgeois society, what"s normal is what"s economically viable: so men have to be strong and have lots of kids, women have to be nurturing to raise the kids. Fucking: it"s political: power in everyday behavior, genderfucking: going outside of the norm when it comes to gender and sexuality. "the personal is political: way to disrupt heteronormativity, norms within lgbt community, breaking down norms and institutions. You should feel justified in hating all children everywhere: children appealed to a lot in politics, queer people disrupting this due to unreproductive sex. White people ruin everything: queerness in non-european contexts destroyed by european imperialism.
