By the way, if you are cis and a trans person gets misgendered in your presence and you do nothing to correct it, you are just a coward.

The third and final (for now!) talk in our partnership series with Zer0 Books is TOMORROW

dalston supersoldier will reflect on how critical theory may speak to Utopia, Black studies, and Trans identity

Join us on Wednesday!

Before I disappear indefinitely: register for this talk! I'll be elaborating upon the concept of utopia I set out in We Hear Only Ourselves. Come along and offer me some devastating criticisms.

I am going to, perhaps permanently, deactivate twitter. I am on the other site, with the same username, and on Instagram as germaine_queer.

Simply too much transphobia on here to make it even slightly healthy for me to use it. See you folks.

Starting hormones saved my life. I was barely a person before that, and I was 23. I can't begin to put into words how much fuller my life is after hormones.

Throwing out a mountain of evidence so you can deny u25s that care is evil. Saying nothing while that happens is evil.

Today I have to read this news, and then go and teach under my deadname because I know I wouldn't get enough work if I taught as a trans woman. Between this, I have to be normal, I have to write.

Things are so bad for trans people in this country, you simply cannot understand.

Fuck everyone who allowed this to happen. Fuck everyone who didn't say anything because they were too embarrassed or unsure what to say. Fuck everyone who was too concerned about the standards of discourse. You are all cowards, fuck you all, I hate every single one of you.

Always good to talk to Jon, switching up our conversation from last year at Housmans. Buy Jon's book!

Thank you so much to dalston supersoldier for being such a kind, gracious and insightful conversation partner last night at Housmans Bookshop for the launch of 'A Primer on Utopian Philosophy' and thank you to everyone who came out, asked questions and joined the 'hidden party of Utopia!'

Come along folks!! Bring your friends, lovers and comrades.

! Event !

I'll be speaking on Zoom about my little book on utopia, attempting to re-describe the problematics around utopia via Paul Ricoeur's account of time.

Towards the end of the talk, I'll bring it all to bear on some contemporary issues of race and transness.

Come one, come all! Come see dalston supersoldier and me talk Bloch, Utopia, hope and the new before adjourning for a 🍻 or two nearby. Tickets are cheap so please spread the word!

Didn't realise that the one year anniversary of my coming out was on Sunday, feeling proud of myself.

Turns out, I spent that anniversary dancing with friends in a dark room, which is how I would have celebrated it, had I known.

Trans liberation now and everywhere

ok so I am fairly close to deactivating because I just do not see the point in just logging on here and seeing awful transphobia constantly, but I am struck by the formulation 'a sex change is the most extreme decision anyone could make'. A good summary of patriarchy's position.
