Blogs about the world of gender identity ideology
Garrod interjected to state that even though Top is essentially an information display, it didn’t feel cold, the artist didn’t feel absent, that you did feel the emotions and that Bowler had imbued inanimate body parts with meaning, i.e. about as arse-about-face as he could’ve got. Bowler responded that archives weren’t dead spaces, they were full of people! Why, every time she goes to Bishopsgate she’s always bumping into people!
This is the most grown up Transpose Pit Party yet. The last one, held in 2023, was so dire as the curator and director, Dani Dinger, looked and acted not unlike the love child of Sid Snot and Thumbelina and I swore never to go again. So, now Transpose is back after a two year break and all the better for it.
A story for our age; a non-binary mermaid. Held during annual *Genderfluid Visibility Week. *Not a joke. The blurby bit About the creator Background Typically
Normally I only write about the transgender issue, but in the case of Afterlives I’ve had to make an exception, because, although it might have its heart in the right place, its head in so many wrong places, it’s mind blowing.
On a positive note, director Kevin B. Lee, chose an interesting aesthetic for the film, using his desktop to interact with film clips and his chosen talking heads, which works. What doesn’t work, however, is his piss-poor analysis of why violence indoctrinates. He starts in the right place, looking at the example of ISIS’s ‘blockbuster’ recruitment video – Flames of War – analysing it frame by frame, creating entries in a spreadsheet.
Nathan H. Lents is a professor of biology at the John Jay College of criminal justice in New York. Yes, you read that right. John Jay was set up, according to its website, ‘in the mid-1950s in response to the increased complexity of administering and operating the New York City Police Department and relations between police and the community’ and is a ‘Hispanic- and Minority-Serving Institution’ which wants to ‘educat[e] traditionally underrepresented groups and [is] committed to increasing diversity in the workforce’. You don’t get more social justice warrior than that. The science department naturally has a bias towards forensics, toxicology, etc, though you can do a Cell and Molecular Biology Bachelor of Science.
Erlick wrote in the book in response to the current attack on trans people, particularly trans youth in the US and UK (which turned out to be a very strong theme of the conversation, surprise, surprise). He chose the stories according to how useful they would be in providing counterpoints to arguments presented by the gender critical movement. So, not at all cynical then.
