Queer theory - origins of the madness.

....and after fetish porn video rubberman at the NSPCC I'm thinking this isn't quite as hypothetical anissue as it might be.

So transgenderism and TWAW comes directly from queer theory, as do the pups at pride and the rubber clad wanker at the NSPCC

Stonewall's "Acceptance without exception" slogan can take on a really quite creepy aspect when viewed in that light

Was looking at the LGBT etc policy of a Trade Union recently .. and to prevent having to expand the acronym every time something else gets added on they have voted that the LGBT + structures can include anyone who feels discriminated against becuse of their sexual orientation or gender identity.

Now I'm not at all suggesting it was done for this purpose - but it reads (technically anyway) as though any rubber fetishist or 'Minor Attracted Person' could pitch up to an LGBT group meeting and demand to be included....I really don't think that's what the members at the conference thought they were voting for when they passed this as policy.

What I understand from this is that queer theory says that "woman" means someone who performs femininity, not an adult female human. There is no other way to define woman, because material reality doesn't exist.

The other main point is that any transgression of social norms is 'progressive' as it amounts to 'queering' society. This means that BDSM, bestiality and paedophilia are all 'progressive' and therefore a good thing according to queer theory. The only social harm from any of this is the marginalisation of these people who are labelled as 'deviant'.

So transgenderism and TWAW comes directly from queer theory, as do the pups at pride and the rubber clad wanker at the NSPCC (protected by his employers, because transgression = good, social norms = bad). Not to forget that 'No Outsiders', coming to a school near you soon, is all about 'queering the primary classroom'.

How has something so insane managed to get so far?

This is also a very good intro - it's specifically about the work of Judith Butler... who is very much the ' go to' Prof for the Wonderful World of Transwoo

What terrifies me is a thought that came to me recently.
What if history is littered with ideologies that, at the time of their creation no sensible person took seriously as they believed it would never gain traction, it was just laughable nonsense. From the devine right of kings to neoliberalism, yet they came to be commonly accepted as unquestionable reality for decades if not centuries.

I love this video, such a clear explanation of Queer theory and the wider implications.

Placemarking. If you change a name then all harm done disappears 🤔

Oh dear, I am going to have to listen to this, and it's nearly bedtime!

placemarking - i started listening and want to finish (even though my brain is melting)

I listened to this the other day. It's such nonsense, it's really gobsmacking it ever got traction. All this time I thought the trans movement was accidentally rendering words meaningless, but it turns out that's the actual aim.
