I don't think you're being very fair with your critique... I mean, presumably you are against capitalism and yet you probably go to work just like the rest of us. Or maybe you recognize the congealed violence and oppression of high technology and yet here you are on your computer or mobile device, and so on...

I think attempting to smash gender on the subcultural plain is perfectly fine. Mainly because it's actually do-able as opposed to attempting some sort of big gay society-wide gender bending "cultural revolution" because we obviously all know that's never going to happen.

But my point is that it doesn't really seem to "happen" in the subcultural milieu either beyond a particular set of fundamentally aesthetic consumer choices. Never before [entering the scene] have I ever felt so quantified, so judged, so essentialized and put in the gender box, so to speak, simply based on the way I look, present and carry myself.

Now, I know what the G-nihilists are thinking:

"Gender may not be 'real' per se... but it is nevertheless 'socially real' here and now, and so it goes..."

And so the problem I have with that is this is essentially saying: "after the glorious 'gender rev' or insurrection or whatever... we can relax and finally act like these things aren't real (because they're not), but until then we're going to act like they're real and treat others accordingly, sorting out the elected from the damned."

But why, in our own fucking private domains, we who share this understanding; why can't we live amongst each other as though this destruction has already occured?!

I don't want to wait until after your stupid Castle in the sky of a revolution to be free of (among many other things) the subjugation of Category, especially in the milieu, with all it's (inverted or otherwise) roles and silly expectations.

Quiero libertad ahora mismo wey. A carajo tuyo revolucion izquierda.
