i'm digging this a lot. it's a new thought for me, but it goes hand in hand with nearly everything that's hasn't been explicitly including Black and non-white experiences. this ol' queer trans white lady is happy for learning something new.

I would love to hear more quare theories and especially lived experiences from my Black quare sisters, brothers, siblings.

Very good perspective on this. Thanks. One request, you write “But it rarely talked about bodies. Bodies that are raced. Bodies that are classed. Bodies that are bruised. Bodies that are hungry. Bodies that are from below the Mason-Dixon Line, where “acting gay” can get you killed differently than it gets you killed in Chelsea.” How about sexed bodies? Female bodies.

Very interesting and nice to see such a critique. You wrote: “But it rarely talked about bodies. Bodies that are raced. Bodies that are classed. Bodies that are bruised. Bodies that are hungry. Bodies that are from below the Mason-Dixon line, where “acting gay” can get you killed differently than it gets you killed in Chelsea.”

Can you add : And bodies that are sexed. Or female.

Institut für Sexualwissenschaft (English: Institute for Sexual Science) was an early private sexology research institute in Germany from 1919 to 1933. Fucking Nazis got a hold of the entire institute and one of the most famous pictures of the time is them burning all of the books that were contained and said gender affirming clinic in the way that the textbooks get away with brushing over this part of the history was it was owned by a gay Jewish man (Magnus Hirschfeld) and they just leave out the gay part and do not tell you why the Nazis were so focused on burning down his institute.

This is amazing. You have quite the skill. My team has been trying to get on your calendar. If you have time I would love to see what collaboration could look like.

performativity under the premise of white supremacy. we could see this by black people that broke the mold. but there is only male and female, yet personality can be expressed uniquely
