Gender Nihilism: an anti-manifesto

Here’s a zine version of the text by Alyson Escalante.

Extract:

“We are radicals who have had enough with attempts to salvage gender. We do not believe we can make it work for us. We look at the transmisogyny we have faced in our own lives, the gendered violence that our comrades, both trans and cis have faced, and we realize that the apparatus itself makes such violence inevitable. We have had enough.
We are not looking to create a better system, for we are not interested in positive politics at all. All we demand in the present is a relentless attack on gender and the modes of social meaning and intelligibility it creates.”

Breakdown édition n'a pas de ligne directrice, si ce n’est la négation et le refus de l'existant. C’est des idées qui se dessinent entre traductions et éditions de textes autour de thèmes et luttes diverses, de l'introduction à des idées aux critiques intra-communautaires, des critiques de la civilisation à celles du genre. Nous tentons avant tout d'introduire et de diffuser des réflexions et informations qui nous semblent peu abordées, ou même peu connues.
