Ego Hippo

A peer-reviewed paper penned by a self-described female-to-male transgender "dyke" and transpecies PhD student from France explores the author's hippopotamus identity in relationship to transgenderism. Yes, hippopotamus identity.

Slippery meet slope.

can we agree that this (while ludicrous) does not support the argument that there are only two genders, which are defined purely by genitalia? or is this a strawman burning party?

Hippo's can be quite dangerous, if he is going to pretend to be one he needs to be locked up.

Oh and there is also the "he is crazy for thinking he is anything other than what he was born as" aspect.

Plus why a hippo? You choose a frickin dragon or something. If you need to choose real animals you choose a bear or a lion or some shit like that.

Wait...

"One of the most beautiful images that carried me through adolescence is the one of a patronus."

Now I'm just picturing a Hippo-Wizard.

Well, there's already a transgender person who identifies as a dragon. So he probably didn't want to be a copycat

Props to the dragon lady, may she guard her hoard of treasure successfully.

Now we just need some bears and ameircan eagles.

Nope. No bears or eagles yet. But we do have a cat. So take that for what it's worth.

Okay the article just gets funnier as you read on:

"To spell it out even more clearly, I don’t socially exist as a hippopotamus because a hippopotamus is something other than a human, and however I “identify,” my body is unproblematically read and treated as a human body."

Are you sure this isn't satire? Those other guys recently pulled a joke with that "conceptual penis" article. Get ready for a boatload of crazy, a werewolf is mentioned for some reason.

"Firstly, there is an indisputably creative dimension at work in the making of xenogenders. Could it be that those planets and constellations are, as Hale suggested should be done, using the “soft, permeable edges [of the multiple, overlapping boundaries of gender categories] as sites for creative production of new, more just genderqueer discursive locations and structures” (Hale 235)? Could it be that the framework of transgender has accidentally, but perhaps productively, enabled other kinds of becomings to be thought, claimed, lived? Secondly, as much as I love to psychically explore the cosmos and think of myself as a baby hippopotamus, I share the concern that those multiplying, non-material identities are actually damaging (trans)feminist politics by displaying a new essentialism and positing analogies that do not make any sense from a materialist perspective – one is not oppressed as a werewolf as one is oppressed as a trans person: to claim otherwise is, as expected, infuriating for many of us. "

As far as I know, it's legit. The "Conceptual Penis" was quickly proven to be a joke that got published. Nothing yet has been made about this.

If it's legit then we have the best line ever:

"as much as I love to psychically explore the cosmos and think of myself as a baby hippopotamus"

Lol. Having read the article it is obvious that the author does not think himself an actual hippo, but rather hippo is a metaphor for being non-binary.

Indeed, his abstract hippo. More funny:

"Let me put it this way: something about being a hippo makes me feel cute, confident, sexy, and safe. I discovered that another self was available for me: being a hippo means that I don’t have to be a boy or a girl, a child or an adult, normal or strange. It means that my smile becomes a hippo smile, and the way that I carry my body, a hippo walk. It brings me freedom, space, and a thrilling sense of possibility."

Well hey shine on you crazy diamond, shine on.

That was a valiant attempt, but anyways some more funny:

"However, I do strongly love when my friends call me “hippo,” refer to my “paws” and pretend that they see no difference between me and one of my stuffed hippopotamuses, except that I’m a little bigger than most of them"

lol
