Rage Rumbles 🏴☠️ 🏳️🌈<p>"The organization of sex and gender once had functions other than itself—it organized society. Now, it mainly organizes and reproduces itself. The kinds of relationships sexuality established in the dim human past still dominate our sexual lives, our ideas about men and women, and the ways we raise our children. But they lack the functional load they once carried. One of the most conspicuous features of kinship is that it has been systematically stripped of its functions—political, economic, educational, and organizational. It has been reduced to its barest bones—sex and gender...</p><p>we are not only oppressed as women; we are oppressed by having to be women—or men as the case may be. I personally feel that the feminist movement must dream of even more than the elimination of the oppression of women. It must dream of the elimination of obligatory sexualities and sex roles. The dream I find most compelling is one of an androgynous and genderless (though not sexless) society, in which one’s sexual anatomy is irrelevant to who one is, what one does, and with whom one makes love."</p><p>(Gayle Rubin, "The Traffic in Women")</p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/sex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sex</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/gender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gender</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/queer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>queer</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/lgbtq" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lgbtq</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/women" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>women</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/feminism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>feminism</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>politics</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/lgbtqia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lgbtqia</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/trans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>trans</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/transgender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>transgender</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/sexuality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sexuality</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/education" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>education</span></a></p>

This doesn't make me "right" or "authoritative," but it does mean I've done some reading on the topics. Sometimes I joke that I had to get a degree to realize I'm a gay trans girl... which isn't quite true, but still makes me laugh.</p><p>I'm exactly the kind of person who likes <a href="https://anarres.family/tags/ProgRock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ProgRock</span></a>, <a href="https://anarres.family/tags/PunkRock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PunkRock</span></a>, <a href="https://anarres.family/tags/PostPunk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PostPunk</span></a>, <a href="https://anarres.family/tags/TripHop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TripHop</span></a>, <a href="https://anarres.family/tags/GirlyPop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GirlyPop</span></a>, <a href="https://anarres.family/tags/DarkFolk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DarkFolk</span></a>, <a href="https://anarres.family/tags/BlackMetal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BlackMetal</span></a>, '70s <a href="https://anarres.family/tags/funk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>funk</span></a>, old-school <a href="https://anarres.family/tags/RnB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RnB</span></a>, <a href="https://anarres.family/tags/BritishInvasion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BritishInvasion</span></a>, <a href="https://anarres.family/tags/ArtRock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ArtRock</span></a>, <a href="https://anarres.family/tags/AcidRock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AcidRock</span></a>, <a href="https://anarres.family/tags/AcidFolk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AcidFolk</span></a>, anti-fascist <a href="https://anarres.family/tags/NeoFolk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NeoFolk</span></a>, <a href="https://anarres.family/tags/SingerSongwriter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SingerSongwriter</span></a>, <a href="https://anarres.family/tags/blues" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>blues</span></a>, <a href="https://anarres.family/tags/EarlyMusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EarlyMusic</span></a>, <a href="https://anarres.family/tags/minimalist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>minimalist</span></a> composers, anime soundtracks, and everything <a href="https://anarres.family/tags/Prince" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Prince</span></a> ever recorded. Among other things.</p><p>Sometimes I make things. I craft, I cook, I play (and occasionally run) tabletop role-playing games, I play (and occasionally write) music and songs. Most of all, though, I write: essays, poetry, stories, and—this one time at band camp, when I was feeling particularly sassy—a whole-ass book about gender, sexuality, queerness, and magic for witches, Pagans, occultists, and devotional polytheists. (If you want to check it out, there's a link in my bio to the publisher's page.)</p><p>Politically, I started out as a liberal in the 1980s, but—flying in the face of conventional wisdom—became increasingly leftist as time went by. I believe all life is sacred, hegemony and hierarchy are intrinsically inclined towards abuse, and bodily autonomy is fundamental to human rights. I believe people can own and control things, but that people are not things. As such, I believe fascism, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, queerphobia, and ableism are all evils of the human heart. I support <a href="https://anarres.family/tags/UniversalHealthcare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UniversalHealthcare</span></a>, <a href="https://anarres.family/tags/UBI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UBI</span></a>, BLM, <a href="https://anarres.family/tags/antifa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>antifa</span></a>, indigenous rights, <a href="https://anarres.family/tags/TransRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TransRights</span></a>, queer resistance, sex workers, undocumented and migrant rights, disability rights, autistic people, plural folks, defunding the police, and radical inclusivity. Whatever name fits those beliefs, that's what I am. I'm not a wholly uncritical leftist, though, and I'm probably not ideologically pure enough for most movements. (Then again, I'm a futch-y trans <a href="https://anarres.family/tags/lesbian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lesbian</span></a>, so many leftist movements don't want me around anyway.)</p><p>About following: I'm trying to be intentional and judicious in how I use social media, so here's the deal: folks are welcome to follow my account here, but I don't automatically follow people back. That's not a judgement on you, please understand. It's an acknowledgement that I have a limited amount of mental and social bandwidth, and it's easy for me to get overwhelmed by my social media feed if I don't tend it aggressively.</p><p>The odds of me following you back are significantly higher if...<br>• you have a bio I find interesting,<br>• you're somewhere under the rainbow (LGBTQIA2S+),<br>• we share interests in common,<br>AND/OR<br>• you interact with my posts in a positive way often enough that I think, "hey, I like so-and-so, I think I'll send them a follow request."</p><p>The last condition might override any of the previous three, but the previous three do sway things, just saying. Regardless, anyone's welcome to follow my posts here.</p><p>Okay, I think that's about enough for now. Further updates as events warrant, or as I think of them.</p><p>Cheers! 💕</p>
