- This rainbow flag is an Internet celebrity flag that is gradually being used in the United States. In addition to the prominent Transgander, African Americans and other people of color are also included on this flag. In fact, I have always hoped that the rainbow flag could add an extra color for obese people , but it may be because the rainbow flag itself contains "diversity", so there is no color for obese people, right?
- If you are a long-term reader of the multi-gender movement, you should know that this rainbow flag is also the flag of GAY. In fact, when we discuss sexual minorities, the current social context often regards biological male sexual minorities as the representative of sexual minorities. For example, when we talk about sexual minorities, most of what comes to mind is the rights of GAY, men's doubles, and mtf; on the contrary, the demands of Les, women's doubles, and ftm are rarely seen.
- In fact, our society also regards "GAY" as a representative of sexual minorities. For example, when female lesbians in the Chinese mainland claim to be lesbians, they do not use the old name "Lazi" but call themselves "Ji Lao"; Instead, say "we are a bunch of gays" to express his relationship with his sisters.
- As for the English context, not to mention, many people will say "You are so gay!"
- When talking about trans girls entering the women's space, and when talking about surrogacy and the sex industry, we often ignore the demands of cis girls.
- In addition, on feminist issues, the Liberal faction often accuses the Radical faction of being too "mphophobic", and even men who support women's rights can only be called "feminist men" instead of allowing men to call themselves the same as the Liberal faction. "Feminist". When I advocated for the rights of obese women in the early days, I was often asked "why not advocate for obese men". In fact, these are ignored in the current patriarchal context. Once a man declares himself "what am I" or enters a public issue, it is easy for men to take away the voice of women, and even take away the definition of a public issue . It is also because of this premise that some people feel that it is unfair for men to enter these public issues.
- Liberalists often say "gender equality", but the so-called gender equality should be to raise women's social rights to the same height as men's, not to help men imagine that men themselves do not lack rights what. As for other genders, it can also be handled in accordance with this model.
- Obese women lack social power because in the current social context, obese women are considered "unsightly", so they are deprived of power. But in order for obese women to gain real power today, they should not be naked or show sexiness to please the patriarchal society, or want to prove something to the patriarchal society by being sexy, but we cannot let this society have too much power to decide us. how to survive in society. So we should be dismantling the privileges of men or mainstream groups in society, not by us proving that we can also please society.
- Many people often say that "gender education is very important", especially when it comes to sexual assault by power, sexual harassment, and sexual bullying, gender education is often brought up again and again. But in fact, just a "gender education" is actually not enough, because the main problem of sexual assault, sexual harassment, and sexual bullying is "power asymmetry" , as long as this power structure does not change (such as old to young, men to women) , group versus individual), then even with gender education, these questions remain inconclusive. Therefore, we must face up to the various power asymmetries in this society before we can truly dismantle these gender-based violence.
- Feminism has never been an outdated theory, and the multi-sex movement cannot completely replace feminism. When the multi-sex movement seems to have come to an end, we still have to return the gender movement to feminism, because the foundation of the gender movement comes from the women's movement, and the root of the women's movement comes from the inequality of women in society. Therefore, when we carry out the gender movement, we must reflect on the current gender movement from the women's movement. After all, only when the foundation is solid, this big tree will grow up smoothly according to our expectations.
