mamaia mea era printre altele moasa satului.

… De aproape un sfert de secol alţii n-au nici o jenă să trâmbiţeze peste tot propria Istorie, alţii amuţesc, distorsionează şi intră cu bocancii peste istoriile femeilor. Alţii definesc ce este „important”, ce suferinţe sunt „politice”, ce este „anticomunismul” şi răsună pieţele ţării ăsteia de revelaţiile lor religioase şi tradiţia lor regăsită, de cuvintele lor goale care zornăie pompos. Pentru că ale lor sunt pieţele publice, cărţile, universităţile, instituţiile politice şi religioase.

Istoria lor e şi în minţile noastre. Ne-au învăţat pe toate de mici nimic despre trecutul nostru şi totul despre al lor. Ne-au învăţat pe toate de mici că experienţa lor este principală şi a noastră secundară. Ne-au învăţat asta explicit sau alegând ce se aude şi ce se tace. Ne-au învăţat de mici să ne distorsionăm şi respingem propriile experienţe şi propria istorie. Să ne fie ruşine cu ele. Ne-au învăţat pe toate de mici, în „anticomunismul” lor, aceleaşi lecţii învăţate de mamele şi mamaiele noastre: să ne ruşinăm, să ne lăsăm supravegheate, să ne lăsăm vieţile dictate, să tăcem, să tăcem, să tăcem. Ne-au învăţat să nu fim una alături de alta. Să nu ne cunoaştem una pe alta. Să ne condamnăm una pe alta. Să nu vorbim mame cu fiice, prietene între ele, bunici cu nepoate. Să ne uităm istoriile, să ne uităm cuvintele. …

un nou blog de urmarit: corpulmeu !

… Poate ar fi bine sa ma ascultati cand va spun ca pentru mine-i bine sa fiu lasata in pace si sa nu-mi mai explicati voi cum credeti ca sunt un obiect stricat care are nevoie de reparatii! Poate ar fi bine sa nu mai presupuneti ca daca n-am chef sa ies din casa cu zilele e pentru ca nu ma simt confortabil sa-mi tarai corpul gras prin spatii publice, poate-ar fi bine sa nu mai presupuneti ca toate sau macar una dintre depresiile mele au legatura cu corpul meu si cu ce simt eu fata de el, poate-ar fi bine sa nu mai presupuneti ca mananc pentru ca am nu-stiu-ce frustrari sexuale ca stiti voi ca n-am prieten, poate ar fi bine sa nu mai presupuneti ca toate femeile vor sa si-o traga cu un barbat, poate-ar fi bine sa nu mai presupuneti ca imi plac barbatii in the first place, poate-ar fi bine sa nu mai presupuneti ca nu ma simt bine in corpul meu! Poate ar fi bine sa nu mai presupuneti nimic despre mine si despre corpul meu si mai ales despre ce gandesc eu referitor la el, pentru ca asta ganditi voi de fapt iar astea sunt obsesiile voastre si nu ale mele! …

assimilation vs liberation

“Assimilationists want nothing less than to construct the homosexual as normal – white, monogamous, wealthy, 2.5 children, SUVs with a white picket fence. This construction, of course, reproduces the stability of heterosexuality, whiteness, patriarchy, the gender binary, and capitalism itself. If we genuinely want to make ruins of this totality, we need to make a break. We don’t need inclusion into marriage, the military, and the state. We need to end them. No more gay politicians, CEOs, and cops. We need to swiftly and immediately articulate a wide gulf between the politics of assimilation and the struggle for liberation. We need to rediscover our riotous inheritance as queer anarchists. We need to destroy constructions of normalcy, and create instead a position based in our alienation from this normalcy, and one capable of dismantling it.”
