I’m stoked to have found this mixtape which includes Shamir, Laura Jane Grace, and Speedy Ortiz. Here’s the background on the project as described on their website:
The “Gender Is Over (If You Want It)” project was inspired by Yoko & John’s “War Is Over! (If You Want It)” campaign, a lifelong frustration with normative binary gender roles and coercive gendering and a belief in self-determination.
We think that society’s emphasis on assigned binary gender roles is harmful, damaging, and often violent, and this is a statement against that. However, by “gender” we don’t mean “gender identities” –– we believe that people’s chosen gender identities/expressions are valid and should be respected! We also don’t intend for this to imply that we currently live in a post-gender world: gendered violence & gender inequality are real and pressing issues that require lots of work to dismantle.
