Honestly this should go in c/bestofhexbear for posterity

But more importantly read Feinberg

Finally time for me to redeem myself and read this

wild to think that I thought I was cis when the drama and the pronouns struggle session first dropped and now several years later I'm wearing skirts and shit

uphold tc69 thought

no more half measures walter

Needs a permanent sticky

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.

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.

pls crosspost this to Lemmygrad so it's easier to pin it there

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.

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.

Good shit then... good shit now.

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.

The shattering of hard lines is the foundation of a better future. In all places, in all forms.

The Hexbear bible

GOOD post

TC69 thought should be taught in elementary school

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?

Also read Transgender Warriors

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