number of what i would call veiled threats on social media made by those involved in the gender critical movement to those who object to gender critical beliefs implying they can or will or should be taken to employment tribunals 27 how gender critical commentators describe trans rights and specifically stonewall as ideological capture reminds me of how anti multicultural and anti immigrant commentators refer to the race equality industry these terms are used to imply equality agendas are really the capturing of policy by a powerful elite rather than a means to redress inequalities in fact i would describe gender critical feminism itself is an example of ideological capture a coordinated movement trying to dismantle rights of trans people enabled in part by key appointment of people with gender critical views in government and bodies such as the ehrc 28 https www latimes com opinion story 2022 01 17 critical race theory martin luther king 29 see https thecritic co uk being anti woke as a protected philosophical belief 30 see https standuptowoke com 31 i know so many feminists who are alarmed by this campaign against trans rights as well as by the use of biological terms to describe social and political rights but are reluctant to say or do anything publicly not because of a trans lobby which amost everyone knows is a fantasy with a function but because they know that to do so is to risk being targeted it is the connections between gender critical academics and key stakeholders in media and government that is leading to the marginalisation of other more critical feminist voices we need to share the task of critiquing gender critical feminist claims the best we can but critique these claims we must posted in uncategorized leave a comment the need for poetry posted on april 11 2024 by feministkilljoys i am thinking of how we need poetry to express ourselves practicing feminism by bearing witness to genocide to echo the words of sarah ihmoud to get our no s out to express to press out to speak one s mind the sense evolution perhaps via the intermediary sense of how clay under pressure takes a certain form when i imagine that clay i imagine not only how we give shape to something but how we under pressure to take a certain form maybe we are supposed to be polite a smile a container to express ourselves to get it out of ourselves ourselves out means we have to resist that pressure that is why we need poets now more than ever always now always more than ever whenever your now is the need for new words is not new consider lorde s short essay poetry is not a luxury the title is a claim lorde is making a claim about what poetry is not perhaps because she is challenging an assumption about what poetry is for whom would poetry be a luxury lorde responds by saying that poetry is not that not a luxury that poetry is necessary as necessary perhaps as bread poetry is what we need to sustain ourselves it is through poetry lorde suggests that we give name to those ideas which are until the poem nameless and formless about to be birthed but already felt poetry is giving birth to new form feeling for lorde is giving form to something those who don t fit the old forms need to create their own forms if we need to create our own forms we don t yet have what we need so we need each other lorde writes a s we learn to bear the intimacy of scrutiny and to flourish within it as we learn to use the products of that scrutiny for power within our living those fears which rule our lives and form our silences begin to lose control over us we are told that to leave the safety of a brightly lit path the happiness path the straight path would be to cause your own misfortune to steal your own future happiness such that if something happens if the worst happens and let s face it shit happens then you have brought this upon yourself you have to go towards what you have been taught to fear speaking the words you have been told will cost you speaking them louder pointing to history feeling the weight of the words returning to that history with a demand for freedom with words what can you do in her essay eye to eye audre lorde described racism and sexism as grown up words we experience them before we can name what we experience to return to your past with these words is to see something that you did not could not see at the time this is why some of the work we do in giving problems their names could be understood as poetry the past becomes alive with new meanings you become estranged from the past you rearrange it to rearrange the past is more than rearranging furniture although it can feel like that creating a different sense of space we open the door to the past we let in it because of what we did not see in what happened when it happened the violence the structure of it the repetition the pattern when we open that door so much spills history spills i think of alexis pauline gumbs s spill scenes of black feminist fugitivity her ode to the work and wisdom of black feminist literary critic hortense spillers gumbs attends to spillers words with love and care to what spills to words that spill to liquid that spills out from a container to being somebody who spills things spillage can be a breaking of a container a narrative a turning of phrases so that doors opened and everyone came through spillage can be then the slow labour of getting out of something a poem too what spills in undrowned gumbs teaches us to learn from marine mammals what we need to breathe to live despite what is diminishing we can be captured by the net of language by names and pronouns by how we are called into being to free ourselves we invent ourselves we don t demand recognition to be seen we cast our hopes elsewhere gumbs asks what becomes possible when we are immersed in queerness of forms of life that dominant systems cannot chart reward or even understand dominant systems make so much and so many impossible we fight for possibility i think again of lorde who picked up on possibility too the time it takes lorde wrote poetry is not only dream or vision it is the skeleton architecture of our lives possibility is neither forever nor instant it is also not easy to sustain belief in its efficacy possibility can take the longest time because to make something possible requires dismantling what makes it not so possibility is not plucked out of thin air possibility comes from intimacy with what has thickened in time the walls the doors how rooms are occupied making it hard to breathe history is stale air a poem a breath of fresh air to make something is to make it possible what we create is fragile because we need it to survive it is a loose thread maybe our writing becomes looser as we refuse the requirement to express ourselves in a certain way we become conscious of words how they matter the sound of them in the language we breathe lightening a load by loosening the words leaving our ends loose flopping and fraying we write like we love like we live telling tales leaving trails the more we leave behind us the easier it is to find us and by us i mean each other maybe that is what we do find a way of getting no to you i talk about these words from audre lorde often because i hear so much in them more each time how she was sickened with fury about the acquittal of a white policeman who had murdered a black child that she had to stop the car to get her feelings out what came out was a poem she called power lorde teaches us that we sometimes have to stop what we are doing to register the impact of violence in that poem lorde uses an image of what poetry is not poetry is not letting our power lie limp and useless as an unconnected wire lorde uses words like electricity snap snap sizzle when lorde stopped the car to write a poem about power she took so much in the violence of the police the violence of white supremacy she took it in to get it out a no so that it can be passed around so that it can be passed to others so we can read her words now so we can pick them up and take them with us language is a lead i am writing now in the face of so much violence i am writing as israel is carrying out a genocide against the palestinian people so much more violence built on so much more violence long histories of forced displacement of colonial occupation our government is not only complicit in that genocide but is seeking to criminalise those who protest we protest silence about violence is violence we cannot pass over the violence happening now without passing over justice it makes it hard to speak what makes it hard to speak is why we need to do so and it is poetry that comes to mind words sent out such as those by refaat alareer palestinian writer scholar and poet killed by a targeted israeli strike on december 6 2023 his poem if i must die begins if i must die you must live to tell my story a poem can be the gift of an image alareer gives us an image of a piece of cloth and some strings becoming a kite flying up above so that a child in gaza might see it and think for a moment an angel is there bringing back love that poem read out by so many translated by so many kept alive by so many we need to be so many to keep you alive that cloth those strings words strung together becoming a story we must live to keep telling a hand setting the story free it is an image of hope and of freedom we fight for that hope for freedom we fight for the liberation of palestine and we do so collectively each line each lead each fragile thread delicate precious leading us to each other to keep the connections alive is to carry the words alareer s lorde s words too onto the streets the snap of a slogan a no a stop stopping the flow of human traffic stopping the cars taking it in more of it in freepalestine endthegenocide posted in uncategorized leave a comment find other killjoys posted on december 31 2023 by feministkilljoys this was the first year since the beginning of the pandemic that i was able to be in the same room with other feminists sharing our work our words our struggles it meant so much presenting our work virtually has allowed us to reach each other in ways that we had not been able to before but there is still something special about being in the same room together it was so energising to feel that snap snap sizzle of an atmosphere to hear when you laughed when you didn t i am so grateful it was possible to do that thank you to everyone for sharing time and space i wrote the feminist killjoy handbook as i wanted the feminist killjoy to be a shared resource a handle a hand the figure of the feminist killjoy helps to make sense of how we become the problem for pointing out the problem or how naming violence can mean we end up being treated as the cause of it you can killjoy when you don t laugh at an offensive joke or when you refuse to cover over the injustices with a smile you can killjoy because of what you do not and will not celebrate national holidays that mark colonial conquest or the birth of a monarch you can killjoy by entering the room because your body is a reminder of a history that gets in the way of the occupation of space you can killjoy by asking to be addressed by the right pronouns or by correcting people if they use the wrong ones you can killjoy by asking for that panel or that plenary not to be all white men again you can killjoy by asking to change a room because the room they have booked is not accessible again killjoy truth we have to keep saying it because they keep doing it but even if we are saying it because of what they keep doing we are heard as the ones repeating ourselves a broken record stuck on the same point we are willing to repeat ourselves to be that broken record but it is hard to do that work on our own and so we need to find other killjoys that is one of my killjoy survival tips a student wrote to me she had shared my earlier book living a feminist life with friends i have been giving it to all of my girlfriends when they had their birthdays and slowly we are becoming a little group of killjoys we might use the term consciousness raising to describe the collectivity of feminist becoming another student wrote to me about her experiences of complaint she wrote from a very painful place giving me a trigger warning for the content she was to share she wrote at the end of her letter my killjoy shoulder is next to yours and we are a crowd i cannot see it at the moment but i know it s there i love the idea of a killjoy shoulder of becoming feminist killjoys as we lean on each other even when we cannot see a killjoy crowd or especially when we cannot see it it helps to know it s there i wrote the feminist killjoy handbook to say it s there or we are here find other killjoys is a survival tip yes it is also a research method a way of reading texts of recovering histories and a life method a way of connecting with people at a party of surviving institutions when i took feminist killjoys on tour i found other killjoys and i didn t just find you by meeting in person i think of the event on october 4th at the possible futures bookshop in new haven organised by luciana mcclure and attallah sheppard from nasty women connecticut luciana and attallah asked me about my killjoy ancestors i spoke of my aunt gulzar bano to whom i dedicated the handbook along with my friend nila gupta and bell hooks finding other killjoys can also be going back in time remembering those who came before there was a beautiful moment when we were all invited to share the names of other feminists who have inspired us in our own feminist journeys it is so moving how you can hear individual names and then also that loud loving noise when feminist killjoys enter a room we bring others with us the more we are the louder the more we come up again...
