If we look at what is happening on the level of social identity we may reduce the #metoo movement to a fight between women and men, or between victims and perpetrators. But if we are open to attuning to our sensations rather than these identities we may discover something more liberating. The collective is ready for a healthier relationship to sex, gender, and power. If we invite a gender transcendence or a letting-go of the binary we can see that a lineage of trauma is coming into the light so we can acknowledge how pervasive it is and we can heal it in solidarity.
#metoo as a time to do more than reify the “natural” distinction between women and men (heteronormativity and cisnormativity) or the “legal” distinction between victims and perpetrators. Transgressive integration rather than adaptive reduction.
