Feminist icon Judith Butler slams liberals who want to abandon trans people: That's "fascist logic" - LGBTQ Nation

Butler called denying health care to trans kids "an act of cruelty."

[queeranarchism]

For those wondering: yes, she is saying that Democrats who abandon trans rights are using fascist logic.

"But for a society built on exploitation, there is no greater threat than having no one left to oppress."

N.K. Jemisin is a genius. The world building and magic system in this trilogy is incredible. A phenomenally told story about prejudice and oppression and what it really takes to break the cycle. The ending absolutely broke me.

In the Dream House by Carmen Maria Machado

Endorsement from submitter: "Carmen Maria Machado’s memoir In the Dream House is the best book I have ever read. It’s, in fact, my very favorite book. It’s a memoir about interpersonal partner violence and abuse in sapphic relationships. Machado frames her abusive relationship as “Dream House.” Each chapter is the “Dream House” told through the framing of a literary device. The Dream House as a limerick, as the erotic, as a choose your own adventure. It is a piece of remarkable writing and functions not only as a memoir but a piece of queer theory and an analysis of sex, desire, abuse, and trauma through a unique lens. It is the book that made me want to write again, it’s one of the books that fundamentally changed me as I am. I cannot recommend it enough."

For years Carmen Maria Machado has struggled to articulate her experiences in an abusive same-sex relationship. In this extraordinarily candid and radically inventive memoir, Machado tackles a dark and difficult subject with wit, inventiveness and an inquiring spirit, as she uses a series of narrative tropes—including classic horror themes—to create an entirely unique piece of work which is destined to become an instant classic.

Disability Visibility: First-Person Stories from the Twenty-first Century, edited by Alice Wong

One in five people in the United States lives with a disability. Some disabilities are visible, others less apparent—but all are underrepresented in media and popular culture. Now, just in time for the thirtieth anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, activist Alice Wong brings together this urgent, galvanizing collection of contemporary essays by disabled people.

From Harriet McBryde Johnson’s account of her debate with Peter Singer over her own personhood to original pieces by authors like Keah Brown and Haben Girma; from blog posts, manifestos, and eulogies to Congressional testimonies, and beyond: this anthology gives a glimpse into the rich complexity of the disabled experience, highlighting the passions, talents, and everyday lives of this community. It invites readers to question their own understandings. It celebrates and documents disability culture in the now. It looks to the future and the past with hope and love.
