    Yeah I’ve never heard of that soz. I haven’t read a meaningful amount of any of the Big Guys though I’m always planning to, I have special brainrot.

    Uh I might be gender Stirner actually? stirner-cool Fuckin… “de-articulation of reality”… It’s not that GENDER IS A SP**K because it literally doesn’t exist, it’s a sp**k because it was made up (in its current form) by Europeans and sent everywhere else. For instance, “felt and perceived as no less real than something that has a concrete material existence of its own” yeah obviously they literally exist, the evidence is right there, but it’s fake in the sense that it’s almost entirely made up by humans, it’s vibes-based.

    Ask anyone in this thread and I’m sure they’ll tell you that at one point or another, gender has caused them real harm, whether wielded by someone else against them as a club to conform or internally against themselves.

    Yeah well, who exactly do you think I am? What do you think helped me reach these conclusions to begin with? Could it be something like this maybe? I would like to know what “transcend it internally and socially” versus “retreat and de-articulate” mean here.

    those of us who are already alive and experienced it may still experience it inside of ourselves and we would need a way to navigate out of that,

    Uh I probably don’t understand this line, but like “gender abolitionism” does not mean I’m confiscating people’s genders, or even really dictating anyone else’s genders period. Gender Accelerationist Manifesto?

    because simply being told the club is imaginary and I’m doing it to myself isn’t/wasn’t enough to teach myself to not do it,

    Look at all of these metaphors… this is the starting point though right? I don’t think there’s an expectation that anyone will just throw Gender Outlaw at someone and they will be magically Freed, Idk. I had the first boilings of “well if gender is constructed then what even is a gender” like seven or eight years ago, it took a longass time to get here.

    I am weird granted, but it also seemed really obvious to me, though: no one human trait, physical or otherwise, has an inherent gender, and therefore nothing is inherently gendered. Which really was a wowee moment from me.
