I’m so at my wits end that I’m very close to either buy and listen to Butler’s #GenderTrouble as an audiobook or install #GentooLinux.

Then he put the book face down on the table and I fussed at him to use a bookmark instead! Of all the possible disagreements I thought I might have with my dad about #GenderTrouble , “facedown is not a bookmark” was not the one I was expecting.

I forget when I don’t hang out with them for a while how weird and adventurous my parents can be, not just in the roadtrip way, but openness to new ideas. I underestimate them.

How? Why? How? :genderfluidflag: :anartrans_symbol_black:

I'm reading Butler and I need a new visual representation for the Dunning - Kruger effect where the infamous "Valley of Despair" is replaced by the "Endless Plain of Despair".

still fighting my way through the first part of Gender Trouble...

while some of the theory is really interesting, i'm spending more and more time thinking about the inaccessibility of the language of this book. the copy i have features a preface she wrote in 1999, which responds to people who've critiqued her language. i thought her response amounted to 'you're smarter than you think, so try harder to understand.'

The rebellion and the reprimand seemed to be caught up in the same terms, a phenomenon that gave rise to my first insight into the subtle ruse of power: the prevailing law threatened one with trouble, even put one in trouble, all to keep one out of trouble.
Hence, I concluded that trouble is inevitable and the task, how best to make it, what best way to be in it."
