Anger, Aggression, Attitude: Intersex Rage as Biopolitical Protest
Signs ( IF 2.614 ) Pub Date : 2021-06-01 , DOI: 10.1086/713297
David A. Rubin

This article argues that anger, aggression, and attitude viscerally shape intersex survival and resilience. Far from being toxic, antisocial emotions, these affects manifest rage’s eloquence by critically challenging the sexual and racial logics at the heart of intersex medical pathologization and nonconsensual surgical normalization. Tracing how affective transmission bridges politics across time, this article explores what I call, after Audre Lorde, the uses of negativity—the ways in which people are affected by and mobilize negative affects in their lived experiences to process and respond to stigma, shame, and state-sanctioned medical and other forms of violence. Analyzing transmissions of intersex anger, rage, and associated affects in the early 1990s activism of the Intersex Society of North America, the award-winning documentary Intersexion, and the Intersex Justice Project, I argue that intersex rage has helped to create a transnational legacy of biopolitical protest. I offer the term biopolitical protest to name a politic that contests the regulation of human life through the medicalization and pathologization of intersex, trans, and gender-nonconforming bodyminds and to expose the administration of sexual dimorphism and binary gender as tactics of racial capitalism.

愤怒,侵略,态度:双性人的愤怒作为生命政治抗议

本文认为,愤怒、攻击性和态度从本质上塑造了双性人的生存和复原力。这些情绪远非有毒、反社会的情绪,而是通过批判性地挑战双性医学病理化和非自愿手术正常化的核心的性和种族逻辑来影响明显的愤怒的口才。追踪情感传播如何跨越时间跨越政治,本文探讨了我在 Audre Lorde 之后所说的消极性的使用——人们在生活经历中受到和动员负面影响以处理和回应耻辱、羞耻、以及国家批准的医疗和其他形式的暴力。分析 1990 年代早期北美双性人协会(Intersex Society of North America)活动中的双性人愤怒、愤怒和相关影响的传播,获奖纪录片《双性人》(Intersexion),和双性人正义项目,我认为双性人的愤怒有助于创造生物政治抗议的跨国遗产。我提出“生命政治抗议”一词来命名一种政治,该政治通过对双性人、跨性别者和不符合性别的身心进行医学化和病态化来对人类生活的监管进行挑战,并将性别二态性和二元性别的管理暴露为种族资本主义的策略。
