Highly recommend Megan Burke’s BECOMING A WOMAN: SIMONE DE BEAUVOIR & THE POLITICS OF TRANS EXISTENCE. Burke draws on Beauvoir’s existentialist ethics of ambiguity to argue for trans first-person authority (trans FPA) & the “commitment to gender self-determination” as social practices.

Siempre que, en un foro, alguien dice "eduquemos a los pobres para que no delincan" --obviamente, lxs académicxs lo dicen de una forma más enredada-- siempre pienso que quizá habría que mejor empezar a educar a la gente que fue a la escuela y aprendió a ser estructuralmente racista y clasista.

hello, i am a well-read feminist and anticarceral activist ally to all lgbt. i have reviewed the evidence and the conclusion is clear: we must chase this despicable transexual out of town and tar their name far and wide, lest this person trick future victims into thinking they're a human being.

Disabled people were one of the first groups targeted by the Nazis.
They coined the term “useless eaters”.
They tested the gas chambers on us.
They knew most people wouldn’t fight to save our lives.
That’s why the President using the R slur is so dangerous.
We’re not expendable

It's trivially clear that the liberal march from the stadium would not have meant or affected anything and it was the (largely anarchist driven) lockdowns that disrupted the ministerial. The bloc was a minority of anarchists present, but no less heroic for that.

One thing Gwen understands more than most about the Texas and Oklahoma crack down on trans people existing in the university is that this is part of a broader movement by TPUSA and astroturf right wing groups to push society to make having a job while being openly trans impossible again.

It's not a coincidence that when Tor wanted to get rid of Jacob Appelbaum, they shuffled him off to academia, where he's been ever since.

This nonsense—students converting grade-grousing into crying “discrimination”—is being increasingly normalized. It happens everywhere in academia. It’s happened to me at L&C.
The core difference is places where the admin still respects professors as professionals (like L&C) and places that don’t.
