"We see simultaneously both the fortification of normative heterosexual coupling and the propagation of sexualities that mimic, parallel, contradict, or resist this normativity. These proliferating sexualities, and their explicit and implicit relationships to nationalism, complicate the dichotomous implications of casting the nation as only supportive and productive of heteronormativity and always repressive and disallowing of homosexuality. I argue that the Orientalist invocation of the terrorist is one discursive tactic that disaggregates U.S. national gays and queers from racial and sexual others, foregrounding a collusion between homosexuality and American nationalism that is generated both by national rhetorics of patriotic inclusion and by gay and queer subjects themselves: homonationalism. For contemporary forms of U.S. nationalism and patriotism, the production of gay and queer bodies is crucial to the deployment of nationalism, insofar as these perverse bodies reiterate heterosexuality as the norm but also because certain domesticated homosexual bodies provide ammunition to reinforce nationalist projects."

the idea that restrooms, locker rooms, etc need to be single-sex spaces in order for women to be safe is patriarchy's way of signalling to men & boys that society doesn't expect them to behave themselves around women. it is directly antifeminist. it would be antifeminist even if trans people did not exist. a feminist society would demand that women should be safe in all spaces even when there are men there.

Every kibbutz was built on an Al Shifa hospital mass grave, an Al Nasser hospital mass grave. We already know this. This is why we will never cede ground. There will be no occupation, there will be no compromise. We will live on our land by our rules.

I don’t understand why folks can’t just throw callouts out completely
Like why am I seeing posts like handwringing like “well this guy is a transmisogynist so maybe don’t reblog callouts from him”
Maybe just don’t reblog callouts. Maybe just block ppl you don’t like and move on with your life. Maybe they’re all bad and harmful and we don’t need to be making dossiers on anyone.
