Our Stance - TERFs

The TERF (Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist) Community is not welcome on JUDAS. None of our writers will ever publish anything reflecting TERF or Transphobic views, and we at JUDAS will always work against the interests of the TERFs. We promise that, should any questions surface about the stances of our staff on the topic of Trans people, such an incident will be investigated and punished with no mercy. JUDAS is no place for transphobia and works to be a space for all queer people and the LGBTQIA+ community's allies.

Transracialism, or The Myth and Necessity of Race

Image
Oli London is a British influencer, singer, and television personality who gained notoriety for undergoing numerous plastic surgeries to resemble BTS member, Jimin. He has since identified as transracial, claiming to have changed his racial identity to Korean.  Transracialism is a controversial concept that challenges traditional notions of race and identity. It posits that an individual can identify as a different race or ethnicity than the one they were assigned at birth.  Oli London - I could've done him so dirty here but I chose a photo I don't find laughable. Firstly, I'd like to say that transracialism is ridiculous, and not a valid identity. It is the ultimate cultural appropriation - taking all the beautiful aspects of other cultures and using them without the burden of racism. However, I think it raises some interesting questions about the myth of race, and its importance in society despite its status as a social construct. Race is a social construct, science has c

Deviance, Dahmer, and Death

Image
There  have been six dramatisations of Jeffery Dahmer's murders since 1993:   The Secret Life: Jeffery Dahmer  (1993),   Dahmer  (2002),   Raising Jeffery Dahmer  (2006)(2008),   The Jeffery Dahmer Files  (2008),   My Friend Dahmer  (2017), and finally Netflix's   Dahmer - Monster: The Jeffery Dahmer Story  (2022). They could be better at coming up with original titles, couldn't they? Or original concepts, come to think of it. It's almost like they're not adding anything, just recycling content to profit off death.                Evan Peters as 2022's Dahmer. True crime dominates the media market, polluting each corner of the internet with the depraved need for gory and gruesome details of  actual  crimes, involving real people. Where has this need come from? Is true crime as a genre ethical? How can true crime content normalise and even romanticise deviance?  On the 21st of September, 2022, Netflix released their self-produced  Dahmer - Monster: The Jeffrey Dah

Historical Women of Power II: Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz

Image
Born as Juana Inés de Asbaje y Ramírez de Santillana in 1648, Juana is the reason I renamed my 'Ancient Women of Power' series to the 'Historical Women of Power' series. Despite being born far from the classical period, her feminism and strikingly modern thought were too inspirational not to include.  She was born in New Spain, Mexico, to descendants of Spanish immigrants. Despite her link to the noble Spanish, she seemed destined for a middle-class life, as she was born out of wedlock. Her father, a Spanish military officer, left her mother to raise Juana and her sisters alone. Despite her illiteracy and Mexican society's misogyny, Juana's mother successfully ran one of her father's estates and was determined on educating her children in the way she never was. It was perhaps her mother's revolutionary ideas about a woman's role in society that inspired Juana to pursue a life in scholarship.  A painting of Sor Juana, rocking what I believed were micr
