#BooksAgainstNormativity

Hey,
I'd like to start a collection of books, that are great eye-openers against normative concepts.

I have read 2 books so far, that I think fit:

#Ace by #AngelaChen: Maybe the standard work on asexuality and a great book to understand and question allo-normativity (allo(sexual) being the opposite of ace/asexual)

#Platonic by #MarisaGFranco: An homage to platonic partnerships and against romantic normativity or also allo normativity (allo(romantic) being the opposite of aromantic here)

I'm next looking for a book on #RelationshipAnarchy to add to the list. Is there like a go-to book or must read? Please let me know.

Also do you know of any other books, that fit into the collection? It can be about/against any kind of normativity, not just related to gender, relationships and identity.

The new album cover is just a bad. Still giving off ‘I need a man’s approval’ and ‘He’s the boss of me’ vibes. She claims this cover is approved by god. Probably appeals to all those christians out there. 🤮 #SabrinaCarpenter #Misogyny #Patriarchy

#Patriarchy

Ich hab kein Bock mehr auf Leute die Machos, bossige, übergriffige cishet- Arschlöcher*innen und dergleichen supporten oder patriarchale Strukturen wiederholen. Null. Bei nächster Gelegenheit raus aus meinem Umfeld. Ihr seid nicht die Veränderung, sondern Teil des Problems.
