Status Updates From Unpacking Queer Politics: A...

"The title of Judith Halberstam’s book Female Masculinity suggests that the adoption of butchness is a form of social climbing. It is helpful to imagine substituting for Halberstam’s title ones which show other oppressed groups seeking to emulate the behaviour and manners of the groups that oppress them -‘Working-Class Middle Classness’, for instance, or ‘Aboriginal Whiteness’." this is so lazy and tedious lol

"I call this the destruction of lesbians, because lesbians are physically destroyed in this surgery, and their lesbianism is removed along with female body parts." every time i pick up this book i remember why i stopped reading it.
