"I am pleased to report that I finally picked this back up and after the first section of essays, the book is no longer insufferably jargony (barely) queer theory. Still plenty of academic exercises, but ones you can actually read without punishing your brain. I am no longer mad lol but they should have either scattered those throughout or tossed them at the end. Terrible intro for what should be a wider audience." — Aug 07, 2024 10:12PM

“We are certainly damaged people. The question is, finally, do we use that damage, that first-hand knowledge of oppression, to recognize each other, to do what work we can together? Or do we use it to destroy?”

“Equally damaging is our insistence that all bodies should be healthy. Health is not a state we owe the world. We are not less valuable, worthy, or lovable because we are not healthy. Lastly, there is no standard of health that is achievable for all bodies.”
