The live video of On Intersex Joy, in which I participated, at Concordia University: www.youtube.com/live/hZFuOD4...

I am excited to participate in this upcoming event, "On Intersex Joy."

A great review of my In Defense of Sex by David A Rubin: Rubin, D. A. (2025). Book Review: In Defense of Sex: Nonbinary Embodiment and Desire, By Christopher Breu. Gender & Society, 0(0). doi.org/10.1177/0891...

Just a reminder that those denying trans youth human rights are the same people who defend nonconsensual surgeries on intersex kids. This is not about protecting children. It is about defending an archaic gender and sex regime by further scapegoating an already marginalized population.

Trump's Executive Order defines “female” as someone who produces eggs & “male” as someone who produces sperm. "My intersex body, like the bodies of many intersex people, does not produce either gametes, arguably leaving us in legal limbo." @xoxykz.bsky.social www.washingtonblade.com/2025/02/04/m...

A strong 48 hours: Thursday: United Faculty of ISU rally with a huge turnout. Friday: a tentative agreement is reached, averting a strike. Today the "Hands Off Blo-No" rally with more great turnout!

A very generous review of In Defense of Sex: Nonbinary Embodiment and Desire by Sunny Heenen just appeard in the Journal of Gender Studies. Thanks Sunny! Text below.

So, on certain days, Twitch is my favorite Ministry album. Certain their sound really congealed on the next two records, but they were rarely more adventurous or alien sounding than on this album made with the great Adrian Sherwood. #ComparativeListening. youtu.be/n_dwXd0U774?...

There are more serious things to be appalled about about the current horror clowns who are running our country, but perhaps the most annoying is that they remind me of every eugenics-obsessed villain that you couldn't quite take seriously in Resident Evil games. This is determining our future?

So I've been on a deep Roxy Music kick lately, especiallyearly Roxy. I've been listening to the half-speed remasters, and they sound fantastic! I am most obsessed with Stranded, but maybe Countey Life or the first album are my faves. #comparativelistening

I picked this up at Laurie's Planet of Sound in Chicago. So funky, smart, and nasty! All hail Betty Davis.

1/ Just sent off corrected proofs for Postpolitics and the Aesthetic Imagination, out in this June (please pre-order! www.upress.umn.edu/978151791918...). I am very proud and excited about this book, and the work all of us contributors have done together. Here are some thoughts about the process:

New WaxTrax! gear.

Judge Reyes schools Trump's lawyers on intersex. This makes me happy, not only as an intersex person but as a theorist of gender, sex, and sexuality.

This is happening at Miami University of Ohio--a shift of all faculty to 4/4. I worry it may be the playbook for public universities in the era of Trump. The end if the public research university. www.miamistudent.net/article/2025...

Since RFK Jr just got confirmed today, I am taking this chance to share this wonderful @sciam.bsky.social piece on The Staggering Success of Vaccines www.scientificamerican.com/article/see-...

Please check out and support Obsidian, edited by my brilliant colleague, Duriel Harris. The ideological cuts to NEA funding are directly impacting ISU's ability to support the groundbreaking journal and its commitment to Black art. obsidianlit.org?fbclid=IwY2x...

Love seeing the protests at NYU Langone for complying with an illegal executive order from President Trump meant to intimidate hospitals from providing care to trans youth. More to come?

Doesn't sound very much like a public university

Here's the short film Derek Jarman made with Marianne Faithfull for Broken English, it's not a music video, it's art and it is what the song and the singer deserved. RIP. youtu.be/f2tbc81Ujno?...
