Getting pissed off is my superpower. An academic chameleon. Language is reality. Foucault was right/ Chomsky was wrong. I translate for fun. I'm p(r)etty. Unapologetically Queer.

Rules and culture shape what we think is possible; whether they are grammar rules, religious morals, cultural norms, or even literary styles, they are still sets of what is considered right and what is considered wrong. Sometimes the rules become so ingrained we forget we are even following them.

What makes me even more upset than the UK high court ruling on gender is the fact that J.K. Rowling was so happy. She has singlehandedly made herself the face of TERFdom, transphobia, and bigotry. We need to boycott her and everything associated with her.
