The Pride of Existing and Resisting
#Fantifa
What is the relationship between new fascisms and gender-based hate? Can the conservative advance be understood, in part, as revenge against the feminist and dissident revolution? Can certain binary and biologistic visions of gender end up unintentionally supporting those intolerant views?
In this bulletin, we examine the points of contact between totalitarianisms and right-wing shift in societies marked by hatred toward gays, lesbians, and trans people. The violent defense of the privileges of powerful heterosexual white men seems to lie behind both processes. Thus, it is no easy fight.
However, around the world, there are inspiring experiences of organization of LGBTIQ+ people, which, besides being spaces of self-defense against patriarchal attacks, enrich wide-reaching feminisms in general and change society. At the same time, they challenge concentrated powers, church and institutional blind spots, and conservativisms within the left and feminisms themselves. They question and recreate official memory, occupy public space, fight for rights, but, above all, the right to exist. We call for truly transformative feminisms, that have non-biologicistic visions, plural subjects, and are dissident to the patriarchy and its heteronormativity!
