The Breakup Theory

Content warning: we talk about sexual assault and rape, though not in detail. On today's show, I talk with my dear friend Girl Cock about the breaking up of Femboys Against Fascism. We had previously spoken about the group on an episode of The Final Straw Radio in May of 2023. The group was formed to counter anti-migrant rallies taking place in Liverpool. However, the group decided that it was better to end itself than to continue just for the sake of it, allowing the former members to pursue new actions. We use this breakup to get into deeper conversation, including the continuity of fascism into transphobia and assault and groups protecting themselves over listening to victims or holding anyone accountable. We talk about failures of the left, trans separatism and self defense, the use of violence, and the respectability politics marginalized or oppressed people are asked to do. At the end we discuss adult supremacy as well. I think this conversation is provocative and generative. Girl Cock is eloquent and speaks of her own experiences organizing, and she has a keen sense of autonomy and contributes a great deal to our understanding of breaking up. I hope you like it! At the end of the episode, I've included two Femboys Against Fascism songs as a treat! Remember we have set up an online submission form at https://form.jotform.com/thebreakuptheory/stories and a phone line at ‪(917) 426-6548, for you to share your break up stories. We will record regular episodes discussing your situation and sharing our political and personal perspectives. Our first episode got a lot of great feedback, so I'm excited to keep growing this project. You can support this podcast and my writing at https://www.patreon.com/thebreakuptheory I really appreciate the support! Also feel free to share and rate and follow us on any podcast platform.

Elle est une femme fatale, une mutante, une antagoniste, la méchante classique des X-Men, elle est Raven Darkhölme : aujourd'hui on parle de Mystique ! On revient sur toute l'histoire de cet éléctron libre, et sur comment elle est plus liée à d'autres personnages qu'on le pensait, sur l'idée de destin, de voyage dans le temps, de marginalisation, et d'anti-héroïne. Puis on se questionne aussi sur le concept de moralité et sur la sienne en particulier. Évidemment on n'aurait pas pu faire un épisode sur Mystique sans parler de son identité queer, d'identité de genre, et aussi de son histoire d'amour interdite et de sa famille. P.S. Désolée pour les quelques petits sons sourds de coups dans les micros. Merci à Jayhan (@JayhanOfficial) pour les super intro et outro !

4. epizoda  Sexuologie   Ve čtvrtém díle se ohlížíme za vznikem sexuologie a soustředíme se na otázku, jak tato disciplína ovlivňovala a nadále ovlivňuje životy trans osob. Ačkoliv sexuologie na jednu stranu nabízela nová chápání trans prožitků, tyto prožitky často patologizovala a její spojitost s eugenikou vrhá stín na to, jaké vlastně byly její společenské cíle. I přesto však najdeme případy jako Christine Jorgensen, jejíž život jakožto trans ženy byl sexuologií společensky legitimizován. Jorgensen byla revoluční postavou v trans historii díky své otevřenosti vůči médiím.

A recent case out of the Court of Appeals of the State of California brings up some interesting questions. First, does someone have the legal right to tell you how to refer to them? Second, does a mental disorder give someone the legal authority to infringe on the rights of others. The opinion in this case shows the irrationality of both the transgender activists and the judicial branch. Which leads me to a question, is the mental confusion we call transgenderism contagious?

The guys take on some mental gymnastics; do you find yourself arguing in circles or just repeating the same old points? Am I being a good listener? Am I really taking into account what others are saying? If you are not open to changing your mind, you may have a closed mind. You may be a bigot. Mike Bell comes "out of the closet" to reveal he identifies as a nudist. Rick Henderson identifies as a never-nude. The Netherlands voted to stop classifying gender identity issues as a mental illness. Do mental health professionals need to follow suit around the world, or is the transgender issue about the mind?  This episode was recorded BEFORE the tragedy at the night club in Orlando. It is in no way a response to that shooting, and Mike and Rick's hearts and prayers are with the victims and their loved ones.

In her fascinating new book Professing Selves: Transsexuality and Same-Sex Desire in Contemporary Iran (Duke University Press, 2015), Afsaneh Najmabadi, Professor of History and of Studies of Women, Gender, and Sexuality at Harvard University, explores shifting meanings of transsexuality in contemporary Iran. By brilliantly combining historical and ethnographic inquiry, Najmabadi highlights the complex ways in which biomedical, psychiatric, and Islamic jurisprudential discourses and institutions conjoin to generate particular notions of acceptable and unacceptable sexuality. Moreover, she also shows some of the paradoxical ways in which state regulation enables certain possibilities and spaces for nonheteronormative sexuality in Iran. In our conversation, we talked about problems of translation involved in using Western categories in Gender and Sexuality Studies in the Iranian context, the certification process for sex change applicants in Iran, shifting conceptualizations of transsexuality overtime, continuities and ruptures seen in nonheteronormative masculinities in Tehran before and after the 1979 revolution, and the category of the narrative self. This multilayered book is at once lyrically written and theoretically exhilarating.

In her fascinating new book Professing Selves: Transsexuality and Same-Sex Desire in Contemporary Iran (Duke University Press, 2015), Afsaneh Najmabadi, Professor of History and of Studies of Women, Gender, and Sexuality at Harvard University, explores shifting meanings of transsexuality in contemporary Iran. By brilliantly combining historical and ethnographic inquiry, Najmabadi highlights the complex ways in which biomedical, psychiatric, and Islamic jurisprudential discourses and institutions conjoin to generate particular notions of acceptable and unacceptable sexuality. Moreover, she also shows some of the paradoxical ways in which state regulation enables certain possibilities and spaces for nonheteronormative sexuality in Iran. In our conversation, we talked about problems of translation involved in using Western categories in Gender and Sexuality Studies in the Iranian context, the certification process for sex change applicants in Iran, shifting conceptualizations of transsexuality overtime, continuities and ruptures seen in nonheteronormative masculinities in Tehran before and after the 1979 revolution, and the category of the narrative self. This multilayered book is at once lyrically written and theoretically exhilarating. It will be of much interest to students of gender and sexuality, Islamic law, religion and science, and of contemporary Iranian society. It will also make a wonderful choice for graduate and upper lever undergraduate courses on the same subjects.
