I’m like one of those cats who usually walks away totally uninterested from people who want to pet them. Here kitty kitty kitty. Oh whatever, I’m busy doing my own thing! There are a few exceptions to this rule though. If I love you, I really do, in a totally independent and non co-dependent, but very affectionate way.

I scraped my knee while performing last night. Blood was dropping on the stage. I had fun.

‎#Temporary femme-gains and losses from patriarchy. Busses only go less than once an hour in Uppsala in the morning, so although I was really early (got up at 5.45 AM) I ended up missing my train to Malmö. I screamed and cursed at Uppsala while running through it’s streets. On the first train I was able to make it without having to pay for a new ticket. Modest femininity means it’s easier for people to see you as a victim and not a threat. Especially if they read you as being cis-female. Minus point to me. Plus point that I was modest in my femininity. If you are too femme and seen as a slut than no strangers want to help you unless they want to sleep with you. I know cuz I’ve been ”too femme” and seen as a slut so many times and the only people who’ve ever wanted to help me have wanted to fuck me. And than the second train – they didn’t want to help me, despite my crying and telling them about jetlag, getting up really early, impossibly bad public transportation in Uppsala, and having litte money. When I got back with the ticket I exploded into a bitter raging rant using every swear-word in the book and in between the swear words saying things like ”Where’s your empathy and where’s your solidarity”. I was The Badmouthed Slut again and everybody in the train looked at me with shock in their eyes and contempt in their brains that they were trying to hide but didn’t hide very well at all. My hair a mess, my make-up smeared all over the place – there are only two ways for straight (in both it’s meanings) society to handle this – either I get victimized or demonized. In general I do prefer the latter, but I really couldn’t afford the ticket…

Alexander Alvina Chamberland Race and class also have a big role in this. I remember reading in the paper once about three white 18 year old girls, who at least were percieved very heteronormative in their gender presentation (feminine but not too much), who had a project where they travelled around Europe for free. And all the strangers helped them and drove them around and gave them a place to stay and were so helpful. And the whole article had ZERO analysis about this only being possible because of being white, middle class and percieved heteronormative cis-females.

In my play I say ”The police won’t protect us from male chauvinist pigs, cuz the police ARE male chauvinist pigs (If I’m in a diplomatic mood I say ”usually are”, HA!)”. Further evidence of my point: Number of times I’ve been beaten by police: 3, Number of times I’ve been beaten by queerphobic-guys: 3. IT’S BREAK EVEN!!! But yeah, it’s true, getting beaten feels much better when it’s sanctioned by the state and you KNOW that hitting back is going to put you in jail.

Alexander Alvina Chamberland PS I didn’t ask the police who beat me what their opinion of queers is. I probably don’t even want to hear it. PS 2 Yes I know I'm hemmorrhageing status-updates, that's what happens when you're jet-lagged out of your mind, have barely slept for 5 nights and have insisted upon pushing yourself to give a lecture and a performance 2 days in a row right after travelling. Tomorrow is work at home day though ♥ Day after tomorrow is another lecture. This time relationship anarchy! But now, bath and black power mixtapes and than sleep - cures everything.
