Queer Toxicity: Lane TechExact Plan Text:Thus, we affirm queer toxicity which demands we disrupt the proper intimacies and hierarchies of life.Advantages/Harms (with explanation): Starting Points: Fu Manchu/Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882. Fu Manchu is a terrible prewar phenomenon from Western Literature and Cinema, it’s used as a shorthand for Chinese stereotypes. The offensive depictions of Fu Manchu were aligned with policies to minimize Chinese citizenship i.e The McCarren Walter Act. (Orientalism!) Impacts Orientalism: Racist stereotype of Chinese people depicted through Fu Manchu, queer toxicity disrupts this. Normativity: A material & psychological form of violent form of social regulation which endorses a system of normativity. There can never be sexual fluidity. Perpetuated through regimes of knowledge/power. It creates marginalization and oppression of others. Pinkwashing/Homonationalism: A façade of progressivism. States equate “LGBTQ+ rights” with a racialized brand of democracy or progress. Using rights discourse against states or community they view as “uncivil” or “terrorist”. The Israeli promotion of “gay friendly” = pinkwashing because of the violence they are committing in occupied terrorities. Solvency Mechanisms: Engaging in Fu Manchu is embracing inanimacy, everything that is toxic to normativity. Fu Manchu is an inanimate b/c it creates intersections between race, animality, and queerness which cannot become coherent, so are feared/toxic. This destroys the system of hierarchy which determines which bodies are valued and which aren’t. Geneology: evaluating points in time and the shifts of normativity is key to challenge Western constructions of “the other” Queer Affect/Scholarship is engaging in queerness 1AC Cite List: We begin with the figure of Fu Manchu, an embodiment of the complex American relationship to all of China, raced, queered, and animalized; a toxic trope created by the Yellow Peril whose exotophobia is consonant with US policies of containment and exclusionChen 12, (Mel, 2012; Associate Professor of Gender & Women's Studies and director of the Center for the Study of Sexual Culture at the University of California, Berkeley; Board of Directors of the Society for Disability Studies, affiliate of the Center for Race and Gender, the Science and Technology Studies Center, and the Institute for Cognitive and Behavioral Sciences; Ph.D. in Linguistics from U.C. Berkeley, Animacies: Biopolitics, Racial Mattering, and Queer Affect, Duke University Press) Fu Manchu represents the confusion of signs that mirror the complex materiality of the Asian body in North American society being porous along axes of difference such as race animality and gender- the strains of the Yellow Peril as defiance of Western order and knowledge.Chen 12, (Mel, 2012; Associate Professor of Gender & Women's Studies and director of the Center for the Study of Sexual Culture at the University of California, Berkeley; Board of Directors of the Society for Disability Studies, affiliate of the Center for Race and Gender, the Science and Technology Studies Center, and the Institute for Cognitive the late nineteen century as the site of American identity formation where Asian race notions collided with the formerly biopolar racial imaginary and were conjoined with figurations of animality, race, and queerness. This confluence of crises in the American identity lead to the legal exclusion of Chinese immigrants as a way to sublate the contradictions of capital and the state, epitomized by the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 as a way to create a racially stratified work force. The Chinese immigrant was not just the racialized scapegoat however—the animated backlash against Chinese immigration lead to the animalization and queering of the figure of the Chinese immigrant.Chen 12, (Mel, 2012; Associate Professor of Gender & Women's Studies and director of the Center for the Study of Sexual Culture at the University of California, Berkeley; Board of Directors of the Society for Disability Studies, affiliate of the Center for Race and Gender, the Science and Technology Studies Center, and the Institute for Cognitive and Behavioral Sciences; Ph.D. in Linguistics from U.C. Berkeley, Animacies: Biopolitics, Racial Mattering, and Queer Affect, Duke University Press) But the interrellations between race, animality and queerness are part of a larger multiracial drama of disenfranchisement where the process of animalization was used to secure hierarchies of subjecthood that define who is or is not human, defusing coalitional anti-racist movements as the animalization of Chinese and Irish people was juxtaposed to the animalization of black people. The relation of different racial categories to animals plays into the process of queer animality that taints the tune of capital.Chen 12, (Mel, 2012; Associate Professor of Gender & Women's Studies and director of the Center for the Study of Sexual Culture at the University of California, Berkeley; Board of Directors of the Society for Disability Studies, affiliate of the Center for Race and Gender, the Science and Technology Studies Center, and the Institute for Cognitive and Behavioral Sciences; Ph.D. in Linguistics from U.C. Berkeley, Animacies: Biopolitics, Racial Mattering, and Queer Affect, Duke University Press) This is manifested in the resolution- US engagement constructs Orientalist conceptions of the Chinese based on notions of sexual and racial deviancy Manalansan 6 - Martin F., "Queer Intersections: Sexuality and Gender in Migration Studies" Center for Migration Studies of New York, Inc., The International Migration Review, Vol. 40, No. 1, pp. 224-249 The Republican Period in China marks a turning point of queerness as understood only as desires through a linear paradigm through Western anatomical and legal constructions of homosexuality as a potential threat to the dominant social order.Cheng and Heinrech in 13 (Howard Chiang has a PhD in History @ Princeton University and Ari Larissa Heirench, is an Associate Professor of Modern Chinese Literature, Comparative Literature, and Cultural Studies @ Berkeley, “Queer Sinophone Cultures”, January 1, 2013, accessed 6/30/16) Normativity is a ubiquitous phenomenon that sets the foundation for heteronormative, racialized forms of violence.

We stand in solidarity with other resistance movements from across the country and around the world.Advantages/Harms (with explanation): Normalization: Unless we call out our government for what it is and what they represent, we normalize they hatred they spew. The 1AC retakes the political sphere of the debate round. White Supremacy: Trump’s entire political agenda is rooted in white supremacy, an ideology that sustains global systems of oppression that normalize genocidal modalities of violence and domination. Patriarchy: Trump is patriarchy embodied. His open misogyny and sexism are a reflection of a patriarchal view of the world. This ideology fuels his militaristic desires. Patriarchy culminates in extinction and ecological destruction. Authoritarianism: Trump’s string of untruths and falsehoods destroys truth itself. This is a proven authoritarian tactic. We risk the destruction of American credibility abroad and democracy itself if left unchecked. Neoliberalism: The Trump Administration is a corporate takeover of the federal government. It is neoliberalism’s final frontier. Neoliberalism intensifies resources wars, climate change, and systemic oppression across the world. Solvency Mechanisms: Our 1AC prevents the normalization of white supremacy, patriarchy, and authoritarianism within this debate space. Localized Resistance National Movement Better Politics: Our 1AC is part of a larger network of resistance movements from across the country. Our localized resistance is key component in the further development of this movement. The resistance opens up the possibility of a better politics to emerge. 1AC Cite List: Jon Finer, Chief of Staff to Secretary of State John Kerry and Director of Policy Planning at the State Department, and spent four years working on foreign policy in the Obama White House, “Why the President Is Feuding With the Media and the Intelligence Community,” The Atlantic, January 26, 2017.
