This episode discusses standpoint theory and queerness/transness; analyzing the ways in which this theory can be used to analyze LGBTQ+ identities. However, we dive into standpoint theory from a critical lens, analyzing the white feminist background that it holds and how this theory can be properly utilized to grow in your activism, without delving into a harmful mindset. This theory's roots are grounded in colonialist mindsets with a slight intersectional lens; Intersectionality is what this theory wishes it could be. While it's useful, it's important that we criticize it's usage and understand the fundamentals of growing into your activism, understanding your standpoint, and how to move forward in the fight for justice. Listen now as Cecily (he/they) and two guests, Ed (all pronouns) and George (all pronouns) join!
