October 2022/4 If gender is the cultural meanings that the sexed body assumes, then a gender cannot be said to follow from a sex in any one way. Taken to its logical limit, the sex/gender distinction suggests a radical discontinuity between sexed bodies and culturally constructed genders. Assuming for the moment the stability of binary sex, it does not follow that the construction of “men” will accrue exclusively to the bodies of males or that “women” will interpret only female bodies. Further, even if the sexes appear to be unproblematically binary in their morphology and constitution (which will become a question), there is no reason to assume that genders ought also to remain as two. The presumption of a binary gender system implicitly retains the belief in a mimetic relation of gender to sex whereby gender mirrors sex or is otherwise restricted by it. When the constructed status of gender is theorised as radically independent of sex, gender itself becomes a free-floating artifice, with the consequence that man and masculine might just as easily signify a female body as a male one, and woman and feminine a male body as easily as a female one. Judith Butler, Gender Trouble, 1990

November 2022/3b + 3a To keep the social validation feedback loop going, it is of crucial importance to regulate and channel the power flow. Yes, power is concentrated in high profiles, but all low profiles are, and must be, integrated into the ongoing circulation of power lest they drop out of the loop. Social validation feedback loops are social power generators and regenerators. Just as in the capitalist economy the poor need to be given the constant opportunity to spend the little money they have (so that this money can eventually make the rich richer), in profilicity the low profiles constantly need to be given the opportunity to spend their profilic power in evaluating the profiles of others. And the cycle is self-reinforcing. By citing Naomi Klein or Judith Butler, we further their high profiles. And if we don’t cite people like them, we lower our profile even further by not being “in the discourse.” Hans-Georg Möller, Paul D'Ambrosio, You and your Profile. Identity after Authenticity, 2021

Who would you be if you were totally free from "supposed to's" and "should's?? GENDER IS A PERFORMANCE. How you choose to perform femininity and masculinity is up to you. 🚹🚺Before children are even born they are provided gender specific colors and toys...no wonder it's hard for us to break through those binaries. Get free! Allow your boys to cry. Allow your girls to be loud. Toys don't dictate or influence sexual orientation, nor do colors. 👶🏽👦🏾👧🏼👧🏽#TalkLikeFiya #FiyaAngelou #CurateTheCulture #HennandAppleJuice #FiyaTime #BlackFeminism #BlackPodcastsMatter #ScholasticHilarity #PalatableAdvocacy #JudithButler #genderperformance

We act as if that being of a man or that being of a woman is actually an internal reality or something that is simply true about us, a fact about us, but actually it's a phenomenon that is being produced all the time and reproduced all the time, so to say gender is performative is to say that nobody really is a gender from the start.

This weekend I had an event at work and a video shoot on Sunday. I looked normal at the beginning of the event, but when I returned, I looked like a dominatrix in sneakers and no one batted an eye. So grateful for a life where I can be just exactly who I am and do all the things I love. 🖤🖤🖤 #comedy #performance #comedian #fire #firedancing #genderperformance #grinding #art #artist #creative #COH #CenterOnHalsted #TenYrs #WeWillPersist #chicago (at Center on Halsted)
