I have radical subjectivist knowledge based on my identity: experiencing truth in my own terms and not in the terms of others (a philosophical and social prerogative identified by both the Buddha and Nietzsche); it is also important for me to uphold the right of others to experience truth in their own terms, and not in the terms of others.
I am a cisgender, heterosexual, masculinist. Based on this identity, I don’t really believe in undertaking non-cisgender non-heterosexual everyday practices myself. However, I understand I have no right to impose my identity choices or encroach onto the freedoms of others in identity formation, whether it be transgender, pansexual, homosexual (and the whole spectrum of LGBTQIA+ identity formations and ensuing everyday praxis). My politics are based on a libertarian ‘anarcho’ (small-state) private-property ‘communist’ resource based economy (Fresco) political outlook (with graduated stages to get there!), which means full self-determination of others to become who they are, through being afforded the maximum amount of (political) freedoms in their own identity formation, and thus have full political and social rights.
I would also like to acknowledge that I have Platonic and sexual attraction to other men, trans men and trans women; but my reproduction of my dominant heterosexual identity (which includes an attraction to the full spectrum of LGBTQA+ adults) means I don’t undertake in non-heterosexual or non-cisgender courting or sexual activity – not acting on (in terms of courting or sexual activity) my pansexual attraction to all cis men and trans women and trans men.
My masculinist identity, whilst intensely pro-feminist (especially encouraging women to adopt a collectivist socialist identity in an illuminating and enlightening dialectic with men and all people) I understand and am in touch with where the patriarchal socialisation in hegemonic masculinity affects (not only women but) men negatively, as well as being cognisant of men’s issues which are inevitably entangled with women’s issues.
Reconciling good subjectivist and objectivist political identity formation is a must, and we should encourage all peoples to adopt this level of philosophical and political sophisticated mutually respectful integrity-building, individual and collective identity strength. This is where we marry post-modern truth dialectics rightfully with political objectivist emancipation of all peoples.
Whilst my chosen gendered identity is AMAB (‘assigned male at birth’) cisgender heterosexual masculinism, I note: I would like to extend my compassion to and Platonic love for, as is in my interests, all adults of all gendered identities and sexual and asexual orientations: I am open to giving and/or receiving non-sexual body massage(s) from adults of all gendered identities and sexual/asexual orientations. This includes spectrums from cisgender, transgender, heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, asexual masculinity/femininity/non-binary formulations.
