I think a lot of queer theory pushed by english-american academia spends too much time focused on dividing "sex" and "gender" in an entirely arbitrary and hegemonic way, perpetuating the idea that sex has some essential biological immutability, which not only holds back trans theory, it completely erases intersex theory.

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
