Gender Nihilism

the philosophy of getting rid of gender in society altogether.

Qualities/attributions: a disposition; a sensibility; a micropolitical strategy; a navigational heuristic; a performative absence; a forgetting, perhaps; a queer site of refusal and resistance; a creative potential; an experiment, a mode of living within, despite and against the regime of gender […] designates a kind of radical agnosticism at the level of (gender) identity; a refusal of the injunction to know what one is, to objectify oneself as knowledge, and to make oneself known; a persistent “no comment” to the police who surround and suffuse us, and marshall against us a vast array of tactics – promises, threats, insults, lies, seductions, manipulations, forms of violence – to extract a confession. It names a possibility latent within any particular gender position: that of disidentification, of non-identification.

The first use of the term is recorded at least since 1995. This is often mixed with gender skepticism, abolitionism and anti-essentialism, associated with post-structuralism, antihumanism and revolutionary transfeminism (transvolutionary feminism).

Storytime, friends! 

In this vlog, I talk about my ignostic upbringing, how my parents became Jehovah's Witnesses when I was 21 years old, and how all of this impacted my current views on spirituality and organized religion. 

Ignosticism or igtheism is the theological position that every other theological position (including agnosticism and atheism) assumes too much about the concept of God and many other theological concepts. It can be defined as... The view that a coherent definition of God must be presented before the question of the existence of God can be meaningfully discussed. Furthermore, if that definition is unfalsifiable, the ignostic takes the theological noncognitivist position that the question of the existence of God (per that definition) is meaningless. In this case, the concept of God is not considered meaningless; the term "God" is considered meaningless.

It states that one cannot truly ask the question of whether or not God truly exists before detailing a sufficient definition of "God". If the definition is unfalsifiable, then the question is meaningless.

If it can't be disproved, then it's not a valid discussion.
