Gender Nihilism
the philosophy of getting rid of gender in society altogether.
Qualities/attributions: a disposition; a sensibility; a micropolitical strategy; a navigational heuristic; a performative absence; a forgetting, perhaps; a queer site of refusal and resistance; a creative potential; an experiment, a mode of living within, despite and against the regime of gender […] designates a kind of radical agnosticism at the level of (gender) identity; a refusal of the injunction to know what one is, to objectify oneself as knowledge, and to make oneself known; a persistent “no comment” to the police who surround and suffuse us, and marshall against us a vast array of tactics – promises, threats, insults, lies, seductions, manipulations, forms of violence – to extract a confession. It names a possibility latent within any particular gender position: that of disidentification, of non-identification.
The first use of the term is recorded at least since 1995. This is often mixed with gender skepticism, abolitionism and anti-essentialism, associated with post-structuralism, antihumanism and revolutionary transfeminism (transvolutionary feminism).
