After being brought down by the noblogs shutdown, my website is finally back and prettier than ever ✨ This is where you can find an archive of my work as well as a theory library collection of nearly 300 articles and books! butchanarchy.org

The real unfair competition women are being forced into with men is having women's sports constantly separated off as a distinct event which is made to compete commercially with much better funded and socially and institutionally enfranchised men's sporting events & found inadequate by that standard

Charlottesville is the key inflection point that stopped fascist consolidation in the US. Anti fascists stopped the consolidation of brown shirts which was the domino which didn't fall allowing Trump appointees to defect without fear and dooming J6 to farce.

At the time liberals like Klein and Wynn did NOT even remotely grasp the magnitude of the threat during Trump 1. We only got out thru a combination of i) antifa brutally crushing fascist networks, ii) trump's incompetence and random media filters, iii) defections of Trump's appointees.

All of this downstream of trans people just existing in local community sports clubs and so on trying to get on with participating in society as equals. Not a widespread campaign to Take Over Sports but essentially just getting along with everyone else.

“Not being able to leave an abusive relationship is a symptom of being in an abusive relationship, not its cause. An abuse victim is not continuing to experience abuse because they refuse to leave, the abuse is creating a context in which the victim unable to leave.” butchanarchy.org/why-dont-the...

If you’re reading this, you’re probably a target of NSPM-7, Trump’s effort to criminalize all resistance. It’s time we got organized to fight back. The NSPM-7 Defendant’s Union presents a collective defense pledge, repression tracker, handbills, and more. crimethinc.com/NSPM7Defenda...

You can skip the gender metaphysics debate entirely if you say, "I don't care about that. I care about the material consequences trans people experience for living the way they want to," and then hammer the point home that no amount of gender metaphysics can ever justify transfemicide.

I do think that a major failure point of a lot of mainstream trans activism is the focus on responding to attacks on trans people in the same arena that those attacks are being made, i.e., indulging the notion that this is a philosophical debate over gender metaphysics and trying to win that one.

Meanwhile, monogamy myths tell us that anything other than a lifelong relationship is a failure, on top of generally representing a critical material and social loss due to how much people rely on their romantic partnerships (especially if they're women).

Both family discourse and mononormativity contribute heavily to this situation. Severing family or family-like connections is regarded as a moral failing, since you supposedly have a duty to your family. Anything else is considered disloyal. Many others, meanwhile, depend on their families.

it’s actually feels really difficult to talk about dynamics of disposability, social isolation, or even harassment productively because no matter how carefully you speak on it you’ll get folks popping up like “YES and THIS is why it’s insidious when people have boundaries or stop being my friend” 🫠

i’ve taken the post asking for help with my wheelchair fund down because it has reached the goal! 🥳 just wanted to let you all know :) thank you SO MUCH to everyone who donated to help me out. it is such a relief to get this medical debt paid off 🙏💕

NEW: The women were victims of domestic abuse. That’s what they told police officers, attorneys and anyone who would listen. It didn’t matter. They were all taken to an immigration detention center.

Gatekeeping isn't inherently good or bad, it's an activity which is subject to political contest over who gets to use space how. Spaces that are safe incubators for minority welfare and spaces for preserving dominant social hierarchies both depend on it and we need to be able to tell the difference.

it is of course transphobic bigotry but it should be pointed out that the lie “people need the right healthcare for their biological sex” kills trans people. trans women get breast cancer at far higher rates than cis men. trans men get prostate cancer. hrt changes your sex.

And, arguably, this was Biden 2020, people held there nose and voted with truly historic turn out, highest turn out in history of those numbers being run, and they failed to prosecute, undo any of trump's most damaging policies, started a new red scare and set the table for the fourth Reich

This is just the Articles page to tempt you! A whole different page has book recs and links. Folks who have been asking me for a good list of resources on intimate violence from an anarchist feminist perspective, this is it! butchanarchy.org/library/arti...

all of us just watched these university admins wield enormous power against palestinian student orgs, including unaffiliated ones, so these excuses land flatter than ever

now that i finally have the website back up i can return to writing! just put a few more hours of work into my book. i have a steadier determination for this project than ive had in a long time. i’m gonna write it!

AI as a tool for accelerating the core functions of IP law; extract from Black culture with impunity and randomly terrorize Black artists who find success, while soothing, reassuring and rewarding white mediocrity

everyone say welcome back to Butch Anarchy 🖤 Lee's site coming back online reminded me of hearing A Pict Song read for the first time on Behind the Bastards last week and now i'm reading poems aloud and weeping in my living room once again we're gonna win y'all
