Oddbean new post about login | logout Thanks for the context! I just assumed there was a new fad/fetish for wearing decorative masks. 👹 When the authorities advise/instruct you to wear a facemask, and you do, this is... transgressive?
That’s one of the reasons I thought maybe she was kidding. Plenty of people believe in following government guidelines about masks, and often those people are leftist, but are they “queer” or, as you say, transgressive? I just don’t see how it fits.
I don’t see how conforming to government regulations is radical or queer at all.
Obedience to authority is the new queer. If only we'd studied that in history.
