Gender, Sexuality, Reproduction and the State: Fighting Back Against the So-Called Law

Join us for a live streamed session from the Socialism 2025 conference, in Chicago. ——————————————————————— As the state intensifies its assault on gender, sexuality, and reproduction—criminalizing abortion, trans care, and pregnancy outcomes, dismantling government functions to fight "gender ideology," and defining "real women" under the guise of protection—how do we endure and resist? Under the shadow of a second Trump administration, the erosion of rights is not a glitch but a feature of a broader regime of privatization and control. Journalist Melissa Gira Grant, and authors Sophie Lewis and Beatrice Adler-Bolton discuss how today's attacks are part of a longer history of state repression, and how we can build resistance in an era of hyper-austerity and rising fascism. ——————————————————————— Help sustain the Socialism Conference for years to come by making a donation today: https://haymarketbooks.app.neoncrm.com/forms/help-sustain-the-socialism-conference © Haymarket Books 2025.
