This post details the conflicts between lesbian-feminism and an emerging bisexual political identity but it also references some great literature on lesbianism, lesbian-feminism, and bisexuality. The author of that post, @scissortailedsaint, also uploaded some lecture notes on lesbianism here. Tree is also the one who posts a lot of great links, pdf’s, and quotes in general, and has a blog about lbpq women, bisexuality, and feminism at @woman-loving.
And as always, you can check out my tags on compulsory heterosexuality hereandhere.
EVERYONE!! GO CHECK OUT THIS NEW BOOK ON THE VARIOUS GENDERS FOUND IN TALMUD!!
TransTalmud places eunuchs and androgynes at the center of rabbinic literature and asks what we can learn from them about Judaism and the project of transgender history. Rather than treating these figures as anomalies to be justified or explained away, Max K. Strassfeld argues that they profoundly shaped ideas about law, as the rabbis constructed intricate taxonomies of gender across dozens of texts to understand an array of cultural tensions.
Showing how rabbis employed eunuchs and androgynes to define proper forms of masculinity, Strassfeld emphasizes the unique potential of these figures to not only establish the boundary of lawbut exceed and transform it. Trans Talmud challenges how we understand gender in Judaism and demonstrates that acknowledging nonbinary gender prompts a reassessment of Jewish literature and law.
