This is egregious.

Ask him which one is him.

How about not knowing is the reason why I as a black person would be so angry. How about slavery rendered these people, my family members GHOSTS whose identities will always remain a mystery to me. Whose language I can never speak again..

SO which one of those is me? They are all me. simple cheese faced ass bitch.

“During the 1970s sterilization became the most rapidly growing form of birth control in the United States, rising from 200,000 cases in 1970 to over 700,000 cases in 1980. It was a common belief among Blacks in the South that Black women were routinely sterilized without their informed consent and for no valid medical reason. Teaching hospitals performed unnecessary hysterectomies on poor Black women as practice for their medical residents. This sort of abuse was so widespread in the South that these operations came to be known as “Mississippi appendectomies.” In 1975, a hysterectomy cost $800 compared to $250 for a tubal litigation, giving surgeons, who were reimbursed by Medicaid, a financial incentive to perform the more extensive operation — despite its twenty times greater risk of killing the patient.”

“Words are to be taken seriously. I try to take seriously acts of language. Words set things in motion. I’ve seen them doing it. Words set up atmospheres, electrical fields, charges. I’ve felt them doing it. Words conjure. I try not to be careless about what I utter, write, sing. I’m careful about what I give voice to.”

- Toni Cade Bambara, “What It Is I Think I’m Doing Anyhow,” from the Janet Sternbergh-edited “The Writer on Her Work,” published by Norton in 1980.

I added the publication information and a link to the page on Google books. I think it is important for us to source quotes, particularly by writers like Bambara who have set such goodness in motion, so that there work can be more seriously engaged by interested people. -jalylah

Angela Davis - “Feminism and Abolition: Theories and Practices for the 21st Century”

Angela Davis speaks on Assata Shakur, prison industrial complex, black trans women and TWoC, feminism, and abolitionist organizing.

“Their [TGI Justice Project and Miss Major] work is deeply feminist because they work at the intersection of race, class, sexuality, and gender; and because they move from addressing the individual predicaments of the members of their community—who constitute the individuals who are most harassed by law enforcement, most arrested and incarcerated, and of course they end up primarily in male prisons, especially if they have not undergone gender reassignment surgery, and many of them don’t want to undergo that surgery, and sometimes even if they have undergone that surgery they end up being placed in men’s prisons. And after they are in prison, they often receive more violent treatment by the guards than anyone else, and on top of that they are marked by the institution as targets of male violence. And this is so much the case, that cops so easily joke about their sexual fate in the male prisons where they are usually sent. Male prisons are represented as violent places, but we see, especially by looking at the predicament of trans women, that this violence is often encouraged by the institutions themselves… But on top of this violence, trans women are often denied their hormonal treatments, even if they have valid prescriptions. The point that I’m trying to make is that we learn a great deal about the reach of the prison system, about the nature of the prison industrial complex, about the reach of abolition by examining the particular struggles of trans prisoners, and especially trans women. But perhaps most important of all, and this is so central to the development of feminist abolitionist theories and practices: we have to learn how to think and act and struggle against that which is ideologically constituted as ‘normal.’

“TGIJP shows us that these objects can become something entirely different as a result of our work… It shows us that, the process of trying to assimilate into an existing category in many ways runs counter to the whole effort to produce something radical or revolutionary. And it shows us that we should not try to assimilate trans women into a category that remains the same, but the category itself has to change so it does not simply reflect normative ideas of who counts as women and who doesn’t. But by extension, there’s another lesson, by extension the lesson is ‘don’t even become too attached to the concept of gender.’
