Andrea Long Chu and Second Wave Gender Theory

Casement's Leftovers

Andrea Long Chu has claimed that "everyone is female and everyone hates it", but what does that mean?
Join us this for this very special 50th episode of Casement's Leftovers for a deep dive into one of our favourite theorists and writers, the recent Pulitzer Prize-winning critic Andrea Long Chu. Get ready for a new theory of gender that not has not only upended the field of gender studies, but also our way of thinking about what it is that makes us human.
How are we all female? What part does desire play in our gender identity? And can sissy porn really make you trans? Helen also talks in depth for the first time on air about their own experience of gender, offering an insight into their conception of what it means to be non-binary.
All this and more in this new episode on one of the world's best living writers.
You've Been Femaled.
