I'm bored of "the future is female." I'm bored of being reduced to my reproductive development. I'm bored of feel-good slogans about how special women are. I'm bored of being marketed to as a woman, no matter what's being sold. I'm bored of pop-feminism books, essays, slogans, t-shirts, enamel pins, travel mugs, listicles, tweets, embroidered hats, and tote bags which pithily rehash won battles rather than imagining new possibilities. I don't really believe that the future is female. I don't believe that the future is only one thing-- only one side of a many-sided coin. I don't find femaleness to be anything particular to aspire to. (Though womanhood is, for me, a gift.)

Slogans I am interested in exploring: The future is femme. The future is transfeminine. The future is over.
