Initial-eclipse - You Force It To Yield

the liberal-idealist view of 'outing' that i often encounter is so deeply unserious -- the act of exposing someone's queerness, opening them up to (often state-sanctioned) social and physical violence, potentially severing their familial and communal ties, in many cases genuinely risking their lives, is conceptualized as an ontological sin because of some metaphysical and intangible violation, rather than being bad because it is an act of violence, and so you get liberals genuinely arguing that it constitutes 'outing' to tell trans women the person they're asking advice from is cis, or to wonder whether a dead person could have been anything other than cis, or to point out that some people are the targets of transmisogyny and some aren't. just a totally useless way to think of the concept, reducing it from language that describes a specific and targeted type of violence to an superstitious ingroup social taboo

I think I might be onto something about the nature of pleasure
