2/4/2021 Update: In light of chucklefuck TERF shit with Giggle, I am once again demanding the rest of you liberals educate yourselves on trans issues with Trans Liberation as a starting point. And you better believe more literature on minority struggle is in the pipelines. We're doing some reading this month, libs. Get ready.


AUDIOBOOKS HAVE BEEN RECORDED FOR ALL 8 CHAPTERS. YOU LITERALLY HAVE NO EXCUSE FOR LIBERALISM.

https://hexbear.net/post/48476

Follow that link and you'll find a free download of the book in pdf and comrade @EugeneDebs's epub, comrade @futomes' audiobooks for all eight chapters, and notes and discussions from the book (and don't you dare just read the fucking notes you god damn liberals, read the fucking book or listen to the audiobook).

I spent an entire weekend night scanning the whole damn book so y'all could educate yourselves on the fucking struggles we've been screaming about for the past six months and hardly any of you damn cissie libs participated. Had you participated you'd probably have a better understanding of the struggles we face and we probably wouldn't be in this situation where trans people are heading for this damn hills because you're all shit libs driving us away.

Fucking read it or listen to the audiobooks and I won't ask again. It's all free. The book is only 147 pages - that's 7 pages per night for exactly 3 weeks. I wipe my fucking ass with 7 pages, that's nothing. People put genuine effort into this to ensure you could educate yourselves and you have no reason not to outside of fucking liberalism.

It reads quick. Drop whatever the fuck you're reading and read this. Now. :leslie-shining:

~~Edit: I'll be throwing up a discussion thread at some point in the next week or so for you damn shitlibs to comment on with things you find meaningful so I'll know if you actually gave a shit. I swear to God I better see y'all in the comments.~~

If you're having trouble downloading, there are links in this comment by u/hexaflexagonbear that seem to work.

If you don't stand up for trans rights, your pronouns are about to be were/was.

Mandatory reading

Beginning my reread and I just want to note that Feinberg goes out of hir way to detail how trans liberation is liberatory for everyone, not just trans people, and does so without centering cis people as that line of thought so often does. I think that’s a big part of the book’s accessibility, is that it targets a wholistic view of sex and gender.

[-] silent_water@hexbear.net 41 points 1 year ago

I hope this gets some visibility on the federated instances. there's a lot of people over there that could do with reading this.

if you're visiting from another instance: read this book. it's short and it will change your perspective on queer politics. there's no liberation for any of us without liberation for us all.

Being bullied into reading this book by TC69 is one of the most important things that has ever happened in both my personal and political development.

Losing hir still hits hard. I could have learned so much more. trans-heart

one of the admins got doxxed and the whole admin team changed hands. wouldn't be surprised if she still posts under a different name but we don't know for very good reason.

IDK the details but I miss the fuck out of hir. Hir content helped me support my son's transition more than anybody else, and the Internet's just a little dimmer without hir presence.

are there any trigger warnings I should know about? stone butch blues got intense and I never finished. I will read it I just gotta be in the right headspace for certain topics.

[-] heartheartbreak@hexbear.net 30 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Beyond pink or blue is not a novel it's more of like a theoretical exploration and journey of what transness means.

I can't remember ATM but most likely mentioning some violence perpetrated towards trans people, but not narratively.

Would it be helpful for me to reread it and tag each chapter with some potentially relevant content warnings?

[-] Othello@hexbear.net 20 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

that is sooooo sweet, but it seems like such a big ask! I think ill be ok since it sounds more like dry theory rather than a heart wrenching novel. youre a gem comrade!

Shout out to the user who recorded the audiobook. Did a pretty good job.

Uphold TC69 Thought forever.

That post made me engage with Feinberg and that book, and I actually read it and posted a little comment/review of it later as TC69 had asked. I was cis but already opening up and questioning a little back then, but that book genuinely helped me a lot, and look at me now.

Fair enough I'll listen to it at work

I'll find some time to read it. I mean, that's what normies do, right?

[-] SimulatedLiberalism@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago

Thanks for posting, I have been looking for something like this as a resource to educate myself on the subject.

This book rules, got me reading a lot of other queer theory. People should read it even if you're not trans.

[-] JamesConeZone@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago

People should read it especially if they're not trans meow-knife-trans
