Penises, Privilege, and Feminist & LGBTQ+ Purity Politics

<p>In this essay, I will share these insights and show that, while these exclusionary practices are often rationalized in terms of &ldquo;privilege,&rdquo; they are primarily driven by a form of purity politics rooted in patriarchal and heteronormative notions about sex and sexuality. I will also consider how said purity politics underlie recent debates between trans female/feminine and trans male/masculine communities. Finally, I will make the case that, rather than viewing marginalization solely through a simplistic &ldquo;privileged group&rdquo; versus &ldquo;oppressed group&rdquo; binary, we should examine these matters in terms of stigma and its imagined ability to &ldquo;contaminate&rdquo; and &ldquo;corrupt&rdquo; other people.</p> <p><a href="https://juliaserano.medium.com/penises-privilege-and-feminist-lgbtq-purity-politics-bafd1f25fe3e"><strong>Visit Now</strong></a></p>
