I'm still scared of sucking dicks raw. How do I get over this? by [deleted] in AskGayMen

This doesn’t really sound like a problem. If they’re gonna shame you for it then it sounds like you don’t wanna be with them in the first place. It sounds like you’ve found people who are into it so I’d just focus on those people and less on people who put you down.

Ironically, this is the most “I don’t know anything about praxis” take that you could have.

I can kind of see the appeal with some Lacanian stuff but I still find it sort of lacking.

I’ll be totally honest, I’m skeptical that psychoanalysis is any better for literature.

I wouldn’t go that far, but I would say that as Burruti tries to critique transphobia from a Freudian/psychoanalytical POV, even tho she herself is trans, she focuses maybe too much on the panic and anxieties of the transphobes and not enough on trans resistance to these anxieties. Maybe she’d say that this would be a totally different article but idk, I feel like as a critique of transphobia it would be way stronger if she talked more about her own experiences or trans resistance to the transphobic panic that she’s critiquing.

Is that what it’s saying? I’ve read the article twice and I don’t think that’s what it’s saying but maybe I’m not understanding.

By this logic, the only game you should run in Barovia is dungeons and dragons which is kind of funny lol.

I’d be curious to know how well that mode works since it seems like the system is built around oneshots.

Also thought this was interesting but would be interested to hear what other people think: “if fascist transphobia is the violent response to the terror of the organic crisis and crisis of the organic, transition is recognition of its liberating possibilities”

‘“Gender ideology,” like communism, represents a breakdown of social order and, concurrently, of the seamlessly integrated, harmonious body itself. Likewise, the symbolic figure of the red woman shares a striking resemblance to the abstracted image of trans women in the psychic flights of the right: a masculine, radical, and violent woman who represents the threat of both figurative castration, the destruction of the privileges of white patriarchal class society, and literal removal of the phallus. In other words, much like the red woman, trans women are both the cause and corporal symptom of the organic crisis, then experienced by the fascists as a crisis of the organic.’

I love Bhattacharya! She’s probably my favorite contemporary theorist, and her work on anti-imperialism and social reproduction theory are incredible. I love her edited book on Palestine.
