What would Steven, Ven and Stevinin look like if they were female, and if Ven and Stevinin were female, would Nora and Bio be male?

I didn't do Steven cause he sorta exists outside of the genderbinary but here's Ven and Stevinin.

Notas de Lectura 1

Me estoy leyendo el libro de Beyond the Gender Binary de Alok v menon y me tiene algo churumbeles (he de decir que cuando lo compré pensaba que estaba orientado de una forma totalmente distinta como los posts informativos que sube a su ig)

Todavía no lo he terminado pero básicamente es un librito como con sus conclusiones generales de cómo el espectro del género binario afecta a la gente y qué ha supuesto desde su infancia para elle. Una cosa que he visto mucho por aquí y la verdad es que no estoy muy de acuerdo, es el argumento de que si alguien es transfobo, homófobo etc, es porque es gay, trans, etc...

Alok dice algo similar, pero lo pone de otra forma con la que sí estoy de acuerdo. El hecho de que una persona tenga conductas agresivas hacia gente queer/no binaria/trans etc sí tiene un fundamento personal: no que SEA lgbtq+ pero eso le hace ver lo maleable y diverso que es el espectro. Esto, en vez de verlo como algo bueno o diferente, es visto como una amenza.

Posted @withregram • @iamlexchandra THE GENDER BINARY IS A VIOLENT COLONIAL TOOL OF SOCIAL CONTROL. Write that down. 🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩 Image description: [tweet by @joashilia on Twitter 1/6 “ I wish more people recognized how much the gender binary is rooted in colonialism. Prior to their colonization, Africans and other indigenous people not only had spaces for trans, genderfluid, and non binary people, but they were often venerated within the society...” 2/6 “The concept of a gender binary as it exists today (male v female) was an introduced concept. For many cultures, gender was not limited to sexual organs. Religious systems often allowed for and encouraged diff gender expression. Additionally, there were more than just two genders” 3/6 “For example, African deities and spirits in the Vodou framework can present as feminine, masculine, agender, trans, or genderfluid. In Vodou spirit possessions, women can temporarily “turn into” men by being inhabited by a masculine spirit and vice versa.” 4/6 “In Native American cultures, two-spirit (a sort of third and sometimes fourth gender representing both masculine and feminine spirits) and intersex individuals would serve important roles in traditional religious ceremonies” 5/6 “Even gender roles and the societal value of women were heavily influenced by colonization. Traditionally, female agricultural labor and reproductive ability were so highly valued in Africa that husbands had to pay a Brideswealth to the bride’s family for their loss of income.” 6/6 “Alternatively in Europe, the custom was for the bride’s family to pay the husband a Dowry because it was assumed that he’d be taking on a financial responsibility who couldn’t provide for herself.”] #transgender #twospirit #twospirited #queer #enby #nonbinary #genderfluid🌈 #genderfluid #genderisasocialconstruct #genderbinary #colonialism #decolonize #decolonizeyourmind #decolonizethisplace #decolonizeyourbookshelf #vodou #femme #masc #masculine #feminineenergy #indigenousculture #deities #intersex #intersexisbeautiful #transisbeautiful #blacktranslivesmatter #genderroles #blacktranswomen #blacktransmen #lgbtqhistory https://www.instagram.com/p/CDwZGW_h7fb/?igshid=gt2yy8myh2sw

PRIDE MONTH QUOTE 10

Wednesday, June 19, 2024

How are you supposed to be believed about the harm that you experience when people don’t even believe that you exist? The assumption is that being a masculine man or a feminine woman is normal, and that being ‘us’ is an accessory. Like if you remove our clothing, our makeup, and our pronouns, underneath the surface we are just men and women playing dress-up. – Alok Vaid-Menon, Beyond the Gender Binary

Optimus Prime proudly having no attachment to a genderbinary or a gendering at all.

TL;DR Science changes. We find new things out all the time and the things you know or think you know are subject to change or even be completely pulled from under your feet. It could happen now. It could happen posthumously after we’ve passed. But science moves forward. Science progresses. And it does it with little to no consideration to your personal bias or feelings on the matter or religious beliefs.

It’s almost as if people believe that biology, or science in general, is concrete and doesn’t change at all. Ding dong. You’re wrong. In fact biology is a very volatile science that happens to change and be revised quite often, especially with the relatively new field and findings of Genetics. At the beginning of the millennium there were only 3 kingdoms in domain eukarya. Kingdoms Animalia, Plantae, and Fungi. Now there are 4 with the addition of Protista. And even now things are constantly being reclassified and moved back and forth across kingdoms, phylums, classes, sub classes, etc. as genetic sequencing is considered instead of strictly morphological taxonomy.

The point? Science changes and evolves as technology allows us make new and more accurate findings. Just because it’s what you were taught and what you think you know doesn’t mean that it is the absolute and final concrete truth. I happened to talk about Biology because it was already being talked about it but I could toss in other examples as well.

The greek philosopher Democritus came up with the notion of “atomos”, meaning -uncuttable-, when contemplating that a mountain at some point would reach a point where it could no longer be cut and yet retain the properties of the mountain. However, Aristotle was more prominent a philosopher and he refuted the idea and buried it with Democritus. It wasn’t until the 18th/19th centuries when we would find that Democritus and his “atomos” or atom was ultimately correct. People generally believed the incorrect teachings of Aristotle on this matter. Now we know that while Aristotle was a great philosopher and thinker of his time, he wasn’t infallible and terribly mislead generations of people to come.

I have a few unsold paintings hanging in my living room. While they are always availible for puchase (please email me at Therinbrooksart@gmail.com for inquirey) have also been wonderful companions. I am not alwasy able to continue a relationship with my works after I make them, but 5 of this series came home to me after their show at Ghost Print Gallery in Richmond, VA.   This was such a deeply personal body of works, I painted one a week for several months as I hid in the saftey of my studio and processed what my experience with gender and been and would become. There is so much information each piece has continued to reveal truths about myself. Though the self portraits are no longer resemble my apearence, and sometimes are even uncomfortable to look at, they act as a beacon in my work towards honesty and vulnerablity. Perhaps they just seem like sureal works to other eyes, I don't think I truely apreciated the work  of  Remedios Varos, and Leonora Carrington the same way i do now,  after working with this intention.  What a joy to come all these years only to discover that I do even in my ignorance, trust myself. Do you all have artist inspration you would like to share and a little comment as to why?

The performative nature of gender exists because of the fact that the term gender is often defined by the gender binary. The gender binary is defined as a system that classifies gender and sex into simply two categories. The binary depends on the idea that biology itself consistently distinguishes between females and males and determines what is masculine and feminine (Hird, 2000).

[gendersoldier]

In chapter one of gender stories, there is a lot of discussion about the conceptualization of gender. We now have a better understanding of gender then we ever have before, but why is it harder to understand now more than ever? that’s because gender is more complicated than we thought.  It’s been easier to think of gender being equivalent to sex, meaning our gender is grounded in biology and even more important the physiological characteristics a person possesses, but this view makes no real distinction between sex and gender and often draws from models of the animal kingdom to explain human sexuality (Gender Stories 2013). The artifact above I believe is clear example of how one’s gender is strictly tied to their biological sex and how one is expected to behave because of it.

Beyond the Gender Binary - Alok Vaid-Menon ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I highly encourage anyone wanting to educate themselves on gender identity and queerness to check out @pocketchangecollective’s impactful little books, which are heartfelt and infinitely digestible. I picked up these at @adamsnest in Provincetown and am glad I finally read “Beyond the Gender Binary” by Alok Vaid-Menon. A gender-nonconforming artist, writer, and speaker, they break down how the gender binary hurts everyone - even those like me who fit within it still suffer from it. Tracing their journey from self-censorship to freedom of expression, Alok makes clear for the reader how much social messaging we absorb about gender and how harmful it is to people’s ability to accept themselves and each other. They conclude the book by briefly but expertly refuting all the arguments against gender nonconformity. This would be an especially great book for young gnc kids, because though they shouldn’t have to argue back against bullies, it’s nice to have that ability if you choose. As a cis woman I don’t have to deal with the harassment a gender-nonconforming person might when trying to exist in the world. But in a world where men are generally socialized that to measure up as a man they must crush anything “feminine” out of themselves - that is the gender binary at work. That is misogyny, and it’s harmful to the men who despise any “feminine” within themselves and vice versa. That is why no matter how you identify, you should read @alokvmenon’s book and learn a few lessons from them on how less insistence on gender conformity gives everyone greater freedom to be true to themselves. Next up: The New Queer Conscience by @adameli - as a Jewish bi activist, this is one I’m especially looking forward to. #books #socialjusticeeducation #diversifyyourbookshelf #mybooks #currentlyreading #genderbinary #genderqueer #genderfluid #gendernonconforming #freeyourmind #lgbtqbooks #lgbtbooks #lgbtq🌈 #lgbt #queer #activism #bookstagram #allyship #genderisasocialconstruct #queerbooks #queerliberation #instabook #bookshelf #bookrecommendations #booklover #bookreview #bookworm https://www.instagram.com/p/CZXphwNuvpJ/?utm_medium=tumblr
