The Xenofeminist Manifesto : A Politics for Alienation

Laboria Cuboniks

[cybergardenities]

Hello people of the universe.

Welcome to the Cybergardenities Archive, please read this post to get a hold what we’ll be doing here.

On this page I will be posting my artistic research in the field of anti and posthumanities. There will be several types of posts. Expect source text repositories (links to texts I’m working with), cool art I find (both relating to specific project and appealing to my general interests) and finally my own projects. I will also share music recommendations, and different thoughts I have about state of our world, but I want to maintain focus on documenting creative and research processes I’m doing. I do my research to inform myself and others on different aspects of solarpunk, here understood as a modern, multi-faceted counterculture movement that seeks to overthrow and replace current socioeconomic system with one that respects everything that lives (or not).

Discussion and suggestion is encouraged <33. Bear in mind that transphobes, racists, antisemites, queerphobes, ableists and all bigots will be banned relentlessly, human rights are not up for discussion, respect people here.

Video editing and color grading commissions are welcome, please check at the portfolio post if you want to know more.

Thank you and wish you a pleasant stay.

Every Scud a Flower, Every Flower a Blow to the Ramparts

In the immediate run up to and aftermath of Trump's reelection, it seems as though many corners of the internet and meatspace have revealed sentiments towards queers, especially transgender people, between annoyance and outright hostility. Predictably but still disappointingly, this has also manifested within our own communities as hostility towards neopronouns, neogenders, kink, and general expressions of libido.

In retrospect, we've been ratcheting towards this for several years now. Our collective answer to the question of "how many genders are there?" has shifted from "not two, you idiot, an infinite amount" to "not two, there's only like four including enbies, maybe six if you're not white." There's a difference between thinking someone's a bit silly or naïve to identify as "lacegender" and responding with (corrective) normative vitriol and violence. This is reactionary poison in every conceivable sense. Homogeneity kills, figuratively and literally! We have forgotten our roots.

And so,

To the girl reading this:

These are terrifying and uncertain times. Our transitions are only limited by our own desires and how evil the people around us are. In response to the very real evil people can and will do to us, assimilation is an appealing survival strategy. However, survival is not moral good is not desire is not survival is not…

We are all queers. There is nothing inherently more or less good in neopronouns or genders than the ones you're comfy with. There are many typical ways to be trans, but no "correct" ways insofar as we aren't screaming over others not to take HRT, not to even bother trying to change our selves, to not even try to be some thing else. Some dolls will have 5 o'clock shadow. Some faggots won't grow more than peach fuzz for another 2 years on enough minoxidil to give a snake a fur coat. We were all cringe once. We were also once blood and shit and fire, unable to fend for ourselves without the help of others.

No amount of concessions to a "norm" in the name of survival as "optics" (really, assimilation to a cisheteronormative reactionary regime) will stop a person who's decided to marginalize and terrorize us from doing so. A 17-year-old faegender demiboy furry on Twitter is not inherently the reason Texas and Florida are passing horrific anti-trans laws. You're an adult, get over your self. A "Nature" which is the basis for political justification can hardly be said to be "Nature" at all, only ever coming to the level of cruel injustice. If Nature is unjust, change nature!

Let a hundred, thousand, million, billion sexes bloom!

[zoestorm]

Thoughts on xenofeminism?

This is the first time I've heard the term; I've googled it, but I don't think I understand the concept enough to have an informed opinion.

[kornynao]

recommended feminist literature?

these are books i found myself and also recommended to me by bloomfilters on twitter !

• women race and class angela davis

• origins of family, private property, and the state by engels. this book is my fav and helped me work through my familial sa and put it into perspective how capitalism enables the patriarchy to exploit their family.

• the new woman by e. heaney

• a short history of trans misogyny by j. gill peterson

• abolish the family by s. lewis

• xenofeminism by h. hester

• the straight mind - m wittig

• intercourse by andrea dworkin

• right wing women by andrea dworkin

• male fantasies by klaus

and this goes w/o saying but i would just really push you to be open and curious , read everything and come to your own conclusions. read learn and come to the conclusions that you want , and challenge said conclusions

[radfem-not-terf]

Have you encountered xenofeminism? How do you think it interacts with your inclusive radical feminism? I notice that TERFs completely dismiss the idea.

i actually have not heard of this yet! if you have a link or somewhere that i can find extra information, please send it to me and i'll do my best to give an educated response :^3

God is the GREAT unknowing , from that which we gather a many supposed knowing’s , that configure structure , that propose reality itself , as without proposition of form , there lays god vulnerable in a room of reflection , refracting the void into itself , singularity

It’s the ‘divine feminine’ because femininity is birth , reproduction ie change (opposing production in a consistent manner) by challenging , by not standing still , by maintaining formlessness , different perspective taking shape constituting a lack of act to enable non-chaos , or coherence

masculinity , the father , is the entrapment of the divine feminine , the stream of all , into a concise web of applicability , produced into a form to uphold a system that perpetuates itself in a way that honours the infinite perpetuation of the energy of the feminine that it ever consumes to uphold its creations

malleability (feminine) / ‘softness’ s

Ultimate peak / expression , is impenetrability (formlessness)

thus why , reproduction , creation (duality of the two physical emulations of the primordial collision , masculine&feminine) is THROUGH PENETRATION , the very ritual that life created to physically enact the ceremony that emulates the nature of the masculines nature to control/dominate the passivity (non-attachment) of the feminine into a mixed creation of the two’s yearning for simultaneously unknowing & also structural integrity, through a blank vessel , with physical form (physical form, the flesh, a ‘knowing’ while simultaneously being devoid of ‘purpose’ , purpose being the chase that is perpetuated by the dominion the masculine yearns for .

Thus why , the feminine is the energy contained in the driver of ‘progressive’ political thematics , thus why the ‘feminisation’ of men is current in topic , as an ‘attack’ as the ‘feminisation’ of anything is deemed intuitively as a counter-act to the dominion that maintains the structures at be, thus why punk is feminine , counter-culture , and queer culture , xenofeminism, the breaking down of the difference between gender & sex , depiction of lucifer , it is the challenging of the physical plane , through a motherly accessing of spirit , intuition , the nature , that is without entrapment , chaos in its euphoric dance ! Tandava !

when you wish to ‘know’ it is an act of territorial dominion on the environment , a castration of the chaos that lays active , as it is slowly diluted into a contained chamber of tense unknowing , as pattern continues and runs itself dry without new opponent , new element , and without external force it begins to build so much tension that it will internally combust .

unknowing is submission to the father, not proposing father as stronger than , or more influential , but a submission that perpetuates a safety in the act of supplying actions that nurture the very passivity that can promote internal-change and forgiveness , progress .

God is Aphrodite , Sophia , Shiva , The Black Hole

Dining Amygdala

A breeze of cold flooded her body, he must be back from the Market. He returned through the empty room. [4] "I love when you wear that red" he remarked "Did you get the fruits?" "If apples, pears, almonds and strawberries are really nothing but "the Substance", "the Fruit", the question arises: Why does "the Fruit" manifest itself to me sometimes as an apple, sometimes as a pear, sometimes as an almond? [5] Kati stayed silent. Everything would remain in the same state of confusion. [6]

Then tasting of the fruit, "How is this?" [7] „Try!" Kati stared at the almond in disgust. "I don't like almonds and you know it." „Try!" She pinched it with two fingers and slowly led it into her mouth. "It may be a personal taste [8] but it reminds me of strawberries and cream." [9] "I hate it!" Fierce. „Now lick at it." [10], he commanded "They’ll destroy your brain." [11], she refused He was exasperated and furious. [12] "I feed you and take care of you: you love me and follow me for it." [13] he spoke. She stood up, smashed the chair and took away his almonds. She glimpsed and threw them on the ground and stomped on it Her work was strange and too violent. [14] "You’ll ruin things. [15]”, There was tension in his voice. [16] "They’ll destroy your brain." [17], she repeated, screaming. “Give it to me [18] or I'll make you!” „Make me! Take me! [19] Hit me! [20] Break me! Stuff me! Fuck me!"

Poetry, sex, technology and pain are incandescent with this tension we have traced. [21] Only mixture and disorder, wrangle and chaos give the illusion of matter. [22] We think it is about rough sex [23] but In an abstraction of Mondrian’s type, the painting ceases to be an organism or an isolated organization in order to become a division of its own surface, which must create its own relations with the divisions of the “room” in which it will be hung. A gaze could create (and destroy, and declare null and void). [24] The Room, Ovale, Ribbed ceiling, long table, Wooden chairs, chimney, Almonds. Chaos reigns. [25]

The two make their fall into the river, into oblivion.
