Is is true that trans and feminist is a best friend in terms of social movement?
Is is true that trans and feminist is a best friend in terms of social movement?
I still remember the expression and tune of discussion by one of my friend from Faculty of Education (History Education) in the year 2014, when she knew that I learned social thought and social theory. So, she always remind me about be careful with knowledge about thoughts, ideology, feminist movement, either you are able to change it or you will be influenced with it. I did reading and research on this topic and now I see the situation.
I want to share my weekly reading. Gender have been debated through series, history and civilization. The fact is gender movement are all around the world. Even at its lowest 0.05% level in any country. Literally, people understand that gender movement are against the human nature. If we look into social structure, there have a different interpretation and understanding about gender movement regarding what class you come from, different perspective based on the religious practitoners towards gender movement, and they way in micro level where family treated members who have different behaviour and desire from the norm.
Based on my reading on Foucault on power relation, I belief that human nature have the power that generated from social construct. When the power are in vein, thats mean the source can generated and regenerated it. Butler are more on doing pathology works in philosophy about gender theory and she`s against the crime that anybody commit, doesn’t matter you are pure man, pure lady, or trans. I think should against also the way of emotionally detached behaviour because its hurting people personally.
Regarding to Butler, gender and feminism have a struggle or fighting among this two group. Feminist is not necessary a trans, and a trans not necessary a feminist. Both also is a social movement but the they will have a different in the philosophy, history, terms, situation, and meaning of their life, even it just at trans level, or maybe last till end of life. It is important as a reader to understand the different in term and philosophy about gender theory and LGBTIQ. LGBTIQ, feminism and masculine is different group definition under gender theory umbrella. Even under one umbrella, they are still fighting among each others too, same goes to normal person. It is important as a human to understand, sometimes people can declare as a man but not real man, and sometimes they can declare as trans but they are not fully trans.
Now, not only trans should be recover, but its also should comes with reforms and responsibility in mind of all human and the social structure. Do you want to claim as normal person and blaim trans for doing wrong? Or do you know what your body can do when become a trans? Or do you want to support normal or trans movement just because you are think you are right or they have a right?
This is what makes me very happy in doing reading about Foucault. Even the powerless never realise that they have the power in their vein. I love to be a human, not a puppet. Same goes to when it comes to social or political movement and daily life, freedom will come when I freeing myself from oppressive and oppressed. This is what happen to the community of trans since they are child which is at initially, the history been oppressed are been censored by so many years and civilization.
I have the question on my mind which is did religion play the role to tolerate with normal people and trans? I see that human over riding and simplify taking the role of God in order to close the case of trans because not have interested in this complex issue. But, I stand to cure the people from sick, meaning not agree for trans and LGBTIQ been legit practice, but this case cannot stop because abuse, bully, and oppress is everywhere in all level or categories of social structure.
