“There is something compelling about being both male and female, about having an entry into both worlds. Contrary to some psychiatric tenets, half and halfs are not suffering from a confusion of sexual identity, or even from a confusion of gender. What we are suffering from is an absolute despot duality that says we can only be one or the other. It claims that human nature is limited and cannot evolve into something better. But I, like other queer people, am two in one body, both male and female. I am the embodiment of hieros gamos: the coming together of opposite qualities within.”

"The practice of creating spaces from lines, of expressing one-self as many-selves, is a kind of dimensional expansion of life. For me it is an essential form of being queer, or more aptly… queering. It's better suited as a verb, than a static descriptor. For me, queering is the act of being unaddressable to apparatuses which are defined by the dimensional reduction of life."
It's about how the writer balances identity and change by referring to themself as multitudes—a feeling I've always felt but could never figure out how to express.

If you saw that NYT headline “the future isn’t female anymore” and you’re wondering what the fuck is going on with women, this book is a good place to start. the cool thing about theory is that you actually only have to read the introduction.

reading this and other texts really helped me form a closeness with the baby butch in me and the queerness of the world/greater community/ancestry. it’s a lonely world but noticing the ways gender-nonconformity exists in those around you- in people, in nature, in ways unrelated to appearance and presentation- can ease that loneliness a little. in social situations, don’t let ‘em break you, let people be people let you be you! remember that you could unknowingly be the representation in a space that is needed and that in your existence you are creating paths for community and with every slight reach out further, we’re out there and you’ll feel us grab your hand in some realm. if DM’s work message for pdf! sending love to ur gf <3
