Originally a comment by Your Name’s not Bruce? on About that capacity to persevere.

Perhaps Museum London is preparing her for the next round of this exhibition by giving Hutchison further opportunities to “persevere through all kinds of different challenges.” Being cancelled is just another “different challenge.”

And as for any trans participation in this event, surely there’s no greater challenge than standing up against what is possible in the realm of material reality. A man claiming he’s a woman demonstrates a Sisyphean resilience in the face of the permanently unattainable. Or to throw in another classical allusion of perpetual torment, being constantly misgendered is just like the punishment of Prometheus, having his ever-regrowing liver eaten anew each day by an eagle. Yikes! So it’s like these guys are rolling rocks up a mountain while having their livers eaten!! Every day!!!* By all rights, this presentation should be nothing but TiMs.

*Of course neither Sisyphus or Prometheus had the Canadian Powerlifting Union or the Ontario Human Rights Commission looking out for their interests by cancelling Zeus, so it’s not exactly the same. Had they had these two organizations batting for them, it would have been Zeus’s liver on the line.
