💦 FULL SET: Gender atheist - High Quality
Gender Atheist
I've been thinking about gender for a while -- being non-binary and engaged in a masculinizing transition kinda forced me to consider it, but even before my coming out I had been weirdly passionate about how gender was constructed. Here I explore a thought I've had about "gender atheist" as a label for myself.
I reference my previous zine Lesbians Are Not Women and the book What Even Is Gender by R. A. Briggs and B. R. George (much love to them).
This zine was made with Canva but you can read it thanks Jeremy Oduber's reader for the Electric Zine Maker. I plan on making a printable version, which will be a A5 size. You can already download a PDF version to read maybe more easily, which should also be accessible to people using screenreaders (please let me know if it doesn't work).

I love the 'almost Doctor Who' part lol
Just today, a though crossed my mind, not for the first time, and usually it goes like this: "
How can Iaccept and allow myself to transition if it's just an idea (fantasy), that got contructed and exists exclusively in my mind.How does gender even work, if it (and everyhting) we construct exists exlusively in our minds.Does believing in something make it real? Well no, thousands of people believe in god and sure, it shapes the human conciousness, but doesn't mean there is an actual god.
So why exacly would I chase a feminine body image shaped by the patriarchy?I know I want and probably should transition, but I have no idea how to philosophically justify that. Or you know, the whole of existence. Really coming to grips with nihilism this year.
Anyway my point is that it's actually kinda crazy that I find my presumably original analogy - of gender and god beliefs, on the internet the very same day.
Thank you for sharing your story

Most of your thoughts in this zine: I totaly understand and feel the same. Thanks for sharing this. Gender is both real and a myth. Gender roles must be abolished anyway.
