The Gelflings Are Trans

And trans people are Gelflings — In the beginning, there were Beings. One day, the Crystal cracked, and the beings split. They became the good, gentle Mystics and the evil, twisted Skeksis. The split was not only psychic but physical. If a Skeksi’s hand was pierced, the hand of its Mystic double would also bleed, no…

What Is a Bible?

You already know, and you already know what a woman is too — A paragraph in one of Doc Burford’s essays drew my attention today and sparked thought in a different direction. When we use the word “book,” Doc says, sometimes we’re talking about an object (i.e., bound sheaves of paper on the shelves) and other times we’re talking about what makes one…

The System Always Leaves Someone Out

It doesn’t mean the person is strange — By design or by accident, the system always leaves someone out. Is the person left out because they are strange? No. It’s the system that’s strange. The Difference Between ‘Generation X‘ and ‘Millennial’ Here’s a U.S. perspective on two generations. The concept of “generations” is ultimately imaginary, of course. Generation X was born in the ’60s and…

The Wake Doesn’t Drive the Boat

Deciding where to go next — A “wake” is water displaced from under a moving boat. In one of the late motivational speaker Wayne Dyer’s talks in his seminar How to Get What You Really, Really, Really, Really Want, he asked: “Is it possible for the wake to drive the boat?” No, he declared. As we…

Biologicals First!

OK, said the pack of hungry tigers — When I was small, we had the Free to Be…You and Me children’s cassette tape in our house. (I’ve written about it before.) One of the numbers was a mini-fable: “Ladies First.” For those who don’t have three minutes right now to listen to it: In this story, a…

Transphobes Are Extra Mad About Online Aggression

Because they’ve never talked to real trans people — Online transphobes make inflammatory statements. Trans people often reply. Many platforms implicitly reward such interactions, and many people feel encouraged to engage in them, especially when they can be anonymous. Occasionally, some people reply to bigotry and discrimination with violent imagery. Generally speaking, this is unfortunate. The whole situation is…

‘Labels Are for Cans,’ Yet You Do See ‘Trans’

The ‘soup can logic’ of using ‘trans’ but not ‘cis’ — Recently, I saw a couple comments here—I believe the person was trolling—posted by the same user only a few weeks apart. I paraphrase: No one should use any labels at all because identities don’t matter. The label ‘cis’ is unnecessary because we don’t need to describe the default, whereas the…

Butler on ‘Imagining Alternate Futures’

Judith Butler’s 2021 interview in The Guardian — In 2021, Judith Butler gave this analysis of the people who claim to oppose “gender ideology” or the concept of “gender” itself. They’re an “anti-gender movement,” Butler calls them. In Butler’s words, today’s “struggle against fascism” is linked to “struggles against racism, nationalism, xenophobia and carceral violence,” and in this…
