DILF: Did I Leave Feminism

When Jude Doyle began his transition in the summer of 2020, he had a very public career as a feminist-winning awards from women''s organizations, writing for women''s magazines, publishing books on ''women''s issues.'' Then, after a decade in the movement, he had to walk out in front of the public and tell them he had never been a woman at all. Doyle offers a seldom-heard and much-needed transmasculine perspective on feminist subjects, drawing together strands of intersectional feminist theory and queer and trans politics to show that all their struggles are the same struggle: The fight for bodily sovereignty against a patriarchy that is always eager to hollow us out and use us to further its own agenda. DILF offers a strong rebuke to trans-exclusionary feminisms that seek to drive a wedge between gender-marginalized communities. Using interviews, critical analysis, and Doyle''s own personal experience, DILF proves that feminism is a vital and necessary tool for understanding the politics of the body, whoever you are.
