This week, we ponder the question "who decided your gender?" with excerpts from work by Intersectionality Now, Uhuru Ali Moor, Thinh Nguyen,and Eve Oishi. We are moved by the last seven lines of Thinh Nguyen's poem, "I AM":

I refuse to be labeled as such
I refuse to be less than
A man, male, straight, cis, white.
I am but flesh and bones

My gender is kindness
My sexuality is love
My identity is compassion

We're kicking off this week with excerpts from the 2018 public art performance, "Ain't I A Womxn?" at the LA State Historic Park. From Eva Recinos's "Under a Dark Sky Amidst Strangers, Not So Unfamiliar": "You're used to seeing art in an institutional setting, or reading inside a bookstore or a bar. But this is the dry outdoors of the city, and you know the sun will set soon. You know the helicopters are watching. Something about the whole thing feels risky, being out so late, being so open to creative expression in a space that, the next day, will go back to being a park."

Our topic for this week is feminism & equality!

Today's DIS...MISS book tease chapter, "How Can Feminism Support Equality?" includes "dis...missing Feminism" by Tiffany E. Barber @tiffanyebarber on Micol Hebron's "F=MINISM" postcard @unicornkiller1, "What if Women Were In Charge?" Elana Mann @elanamamma & Las Fotos Project @lasfotosproject, and "Script for a 2018 Witch Hunt" by Kristina Wong @mskristinawong

What if Women Were In Charge?

"We'd all be ni santas"

"Life would be less shitty"

"A person's body would belong to them"

"Everything would be chill. The world would have more compassion. I would feel more safe."

"It would take some time to filter out all the misogyny, but then it would be FUCKING AMAZING!"

This week's topic is violence and gender

"What Are your Myths and Facts about Rape?"
Today's DIS...MISS book tease includes "Reinterpretation of Leslie Labowitz-Starus's Myths of Rape (1977), part of Suzanne Lacy's Three Weeks in May" by Anuradha Vikram @curativeprojects and featuring Audrey Chan @audreychan.studio and Elana Mann @elanamamma, Peace over Violence's Mission and Manifesto @peaceovrviolnce, and "Demystifying the Mystical for the Faranghi, Who May Or May Not Be Franks" by Amitis Motevalli @amigeddon

"We understand violence in relationship, families and communities is a root cause for violence in society. To address the problem at its core is to change how this problem manifests and magnifies itself in society at large. Changing an individual point of view toward sexual, domestic and interpersonal violence will--one on one, on by one--cause social change, a transformation of society, a world without violence."

Today we focus on Raquel Gutiérrez's "Xister, Are You 'Psyco'?" for our book preview. Raquel's essay highlights the Ovarian Psyco-Cycle Brigade (OPC), a “womxn of color, xisters, mothers, overgrown knuckleheads, riders, writers, students, wage slaves, hustlers, artists, MCs, poets, intellectuals, radical scholars, passionate womxn, environmentalists, urban farmers, medicine womxn, militants, feminists, renaissance womxn, fearless fierro riders and modern-day charras on steel horses!” This is one way to get to know the people of Boyle Heights, including Ni Santas: "a WOC art collective; safe space to create. Writing our stories through socially conscious art while promoting sisterhood through skill sharing."

Our topic this week is Gender Nonconformity: "What is the problem? My Body? or Society’s Perception of my Body?"
This week's DIS...MISS book highlight includes "Anatomically Correct: Cassils Performs Gender," by Amelia Jones.
"This body is clearly white, statuesque, heroically muscular, buff, and masculinized but with breasts: it is thus both gendered in heightened ways and yet not clearly 'male' or 'female.' [...] The short dark hair frames the porcelain white face with blood red lips (this is snow-white and her prince merged into one hybrid, gender-complex body)." Cassils is a visual artist working in live performance, film, sound, sculpture, & photography. Amelia Jones is a Professor and Vice Dean at Roski School of Art and Design at USC @cassilsartist @ameliagjones6005

Our topic this week is "How does gender perform you?"
This DIS...MISS book tease features "Portrait of Bliss" (essay) by Allison Noelle Conner and "boychild self-portrait/postcard" by boychild. "I repeat the words while staring at the triangular design. Bliss, bliss. Isn't that what we're all after? A taste of euphoria?" boychild is the performance alias of Tosh Basco, a movement-based performance artist whose practice employs improvisation as mode of survival and world-building. Allison Noelle Conner is an interdisciplinary writer, performer, and zine-maker. @loosepleasures @toshbasco
