1. El Binarismo de Género como Pilar del Patriarcado.
El sistema patriarcal depende de una división de género estricta e inmutable. Se argumenta que el binarismo no tiene otro propósito que sostener esta estructura de dominación, colapsando sin ella.
- Patriarchy collapses without a clearly-defined and immutable gender binary.
- The gender binary only serves to prop up the patriarchy. It has no other purpose.
- Patriarchy relies on two clearly constructed genders to maintain control over women. When seen this way, the war on trans and non-binary people makes 100% sense.
- One of the foundational pillars of patriarchy, white supremacy, fascism, all this shit we're having to fight, is that gender/sex is binary and immutable. Without that so much of the rest of the grift unravels.
2. El Género como Construcción Social y Jerarquía.
El género no se presenta como una identidad innata, sino como un sistema violento de estructuras de poder y posicionamiento social impuesto por el patriarcado. Se define como una jerarquía, no simplemente como un binario.
- Gender is your positioning under patriarchy. It is a violent system of power structures, not an endless rainbow of identities and aesthetics. It's crucial that you understand this.
- The patriarchy creates the gender binary, it creates a fantasy of what men and women are, and a fantasy of a gender binary, even when it does not operate that way.
- Gender is not a binary, it is a hierarchy.
- It is literally patriarchy, either you perform a narrow set of masculine traits, or you get kicked into the masses of inferior people. The gender binary at its most extreme isn't man & woman, it is man & subhuman.
3. La Amenaza de la No Conformidad de Género.
La existencia de personas trans, no binarias y de género no conforme es vista como una amenaza existencial para el patriarcado. Al demostrar que el género es maleable, se socava la base de la jerarquía de poder.
- Don't forget how the entire patriarchy is destroyed by our mere existence.
- The broad acceptance that gender is a social construct is one of the biggest threats to patriarchy.
- Patriarchy only works if gender is a prison w automatic life sentence from birth. Gender non-conformity - from basic demands for gender equality to the mere existence of trans folk - reveals the fact that it's a man-made [emphasis on patriarchal 'man'] prison.
- Rejection of the gender binary attacks the very core of patriarchy: if gender is not fixed, hierarchy based on gender has no meaning, and enforcement of patriarchy is revealed as hollow at its core.
4. Caminos hacia la Liberación: Abolición y Resistencia.
La liberación del patriarcado requiere desmantelar sus definiciones de género y roles asociados. Se aboga por la abolición de las estructuras opresivas, no necesariamente del género en sí, sino de su función como herramienta de control.
- The patriarchy cannot be destroyed by upholding patriarchal definitions of men, or women, or the concept of gender as a mutually exclusive binary.
- You can not nullify patriarchy without dissolving our current understanding and terminology for sex and gender.
- I want to abolish patriarchy, not gender. Some people are binary-gendered, and non-binary people can be men or women. That's not the problem, it's part of self-expression. But it should be optional.
- Gender is a scam invented by big patriarchy in order to sell more oppression of the working class.
