11.06.2013is living
and noticing_sharing
acting, again – anew and again – differently and again
language is
hegemonic and violent
injuring me
forcing people into discriminatory self-categorizations and denaming their privileges
(for me: forcing me into binary genderings and denaming my white and ableist privileges)
again and again
language is
at the same time also
a possibility
finding expressions
trying to mediate, to connect
contact
communication
language is always acting
if i speak or dont speak
if i remain silent and turn around
if i join the laughter or nod my head
when i drown others with my words
when privileged people assign discriminated people aggressions and thus distract from their own discriminatory and yet denamed aggressions
and continue not listening when discriminated people ask and demand that certain expressions are not being used
when privileged people do not want to listen when discriminated people speak
when i do not interrupt or disturb when discriminatory things are being said
when i interrupt when hearing things confusing me, being unfamiliar to me
all these are linguistic actions
trying to speak, listen and write and read less discriminatory
again and again
through new words like x-forms, trans_x_ing styles: expressing actings and not identities
through asterisks, @-forms, new namings, careful and caring addressings of me and others
all attempts to dissolute universalizing „we’s“
everything not yet said or written which is challenging binary genderings and which is explicitly expressing interdependent localizations and critical positionings
every decision of listening to, citing or authorizing discriminated voices
and all open questions
language is living
acting
possibility
always in motion
always challenging and
possible
to challenge
