====The West has misconstrued the genderqueer body with the use of biopolitical surveillance technologies – surveillance has forced them conform to either being a man or women recreating the silence attached to their voice==== Conrad 9 Surveillance, Gender, and the Virtual Body in the Information Age, Kathryn Conrad Associate Professor and Director of Undergraduate Studies in the Department of English at the University of Kansas. Surveillance & Society 6(4) p 381-385 Tied closely to the surveillance and regulation of sexual behaviour and identity—tied in AND , or 'pass' within the system —even further out of their hands.

The queer body is constantly forced into life as overkill – this is the naturalization of antiqueerness that perpetuates ongoing structural violence that renders queerness inherently dead.
Stanley 2011 [Eric, “Near Life, Queer Death Overkill and Ontological Capture,” Social Text 107 s Vol. 29, No. 2 s Summer 2011] Overkill is a term used to indicate such excessive violence // that //// it pushes a body // // AND // , // what it must mean //, to do violence to what is nothing.

====Your framing should begin from the perspective of queer necropolitics, bodies that rebel against the state and then get marked by the state – That perpetuates mundane forms of violence on queer bodies that justify racism, war, and terrorism.==== Haritaworn et al. 14. Jin Haritaworn, professor of sociology at the University of York, Adi Kuntsman, professor of humanities, research, and social sciences at Manchester Metropolitan University, and Sylvia Posocco, professor of psychological studies at the University of London, Birbeck, Queer Necropolitics, Routledge, 2014, pg. 1 Most prominently, Jasbir Puar (2007), tracing the shift from AIDS to gay AND of remembering and oblivion of queer and non-queer lives and deaths.

Thus, Alex and I advocate an ethic of conviviality to deconstruct the oppression of queer bodies.
====Embracing the idea that bodies are undefined intensities provides possibility for a new realm of the body-as-information in which identity is determined through encounter rather than rigid sets of data. We embrace an aesthetics of conviviality- a becoming with, imagining an unpredictable becoming with rather than an overdetermined effacement of alterity, its inability to move or escape, which characterizes the aff. We embrace a flight from the norm, a flight of experimentation, a joyous affect==== Puar 10. Jasbir Puar, professor of women’s and gender studies at Rutgers University, Women & Performance: a journal of feminist theory, Vol. 19, No. 2, July 2009, pg. 168 Out of the numerous possibilities that ‘‘assemblage theory’’ offers, much of it has AND // outcome //, // the literalism of its object // nor // the direction of its drive. //

Critiquing the system through the lense of queerness is a way to recognize capitalism, racism, patriarchy and other systems of oppressions
Mary Nardini gang 14 toward the queerest insurrection Printed clandestinely by the Mary Nardini gang, criminal queers from Milwaukee, Wisconsin Published Date: 20/06/2014 http://www.weldd.org/resources/towards-queerest-insurrection The Perspective of queers within the heteronormative world is a lens through which we can AND struggled against capitalism racism and patriarchy and empire. This is our history.

A fluid understanding of identity is necessary in order to avoid sexual othering and exceptionalization.

The affirmative's method of convivial assemblage is key to envision a legal framework independent of rigid racialized and gendered categories of personhood.
Weheliye 14. Alexander G. Weheliye, professor of African American studies at Northwestern University, Habeas Viscus, pg. 82 ==== We are in dire need of alternatives to the legal conception of personhood thatdominates our world, and, in addition, to not lose sight of what re­mains outside thelaw, what the law cannot capture,what it cannot magi­cally transform into the fantastic form of property ownership. Writing about the connections between transgender politics and other forms of identity- based activism that respond to structural inequalities, legal scholar Dean Spade shows how the focus on inclusion, recognition, and equality based on a narrow legal framework (especially as it pertains to antidiscrimination and hate crime laws) not only hinders theeradication of violence against trans people and other vulnerable populations but actually creates the condition of possibility for the continued unequal “distribution of life chances. ”22 If demanding recognition and inclusion remains at the center of minority politics, it will lead only to a delimited notion of personhood as property that zeroes in comparatively on only one form of subjugation at the expense of others, thus allowing for the continued existence of hierarchical differ­ences between full humans, not-quite-humans, and nonhumans. This can be gleaned from the “successes” of the mainstream feminist, civil rights, and lesbian-gay rights movements, which facilitate the cincorporation of a privileged minority into the ethnoclass of Man at the cost of the still and/or newly criminalized and disposablepopulations (women of color, the black poor, trans people, the incarcerated, etc.).23 To make claims for inclusion and humanity via the U.S. juridical assemblage removes from view that the law itself has been thoroughly violent in its endorsement of racial slavery, indigenous genocide, Jim Crow, the prison-industrial complex, domestic and international warfare, and so on, and that it continues to be one of the chief instruments in creating andmaintaining the racializing assemblages in the world of Man.Instead of appealing to legal recognition, Julia Oparah suggests counteracting the “racialized (trans)gender entrapment” within the prison-industrial complex and beyond with practices of “maroon abo­lition” (in reference to the long history of escaped slave contraband settlements in the Americas) to “foreground the ways in which often overlooked African diasporic cultural and political legacies inform and undergird anti- prison work,” while also providing strategies and life worlds not exclusively centered on reforming the law.24 Relatedly, Spade calls for a radical politics articulated from the “‘impossible’ worldview of trans political existence,” which redefines “the insistence of government agencies, social service pro­viders, media, and many nontrans activists and nonprofiteers that the ex­istence of trans people is impossible. ”25 A relational maroon abolitionism beholden to the practices of black radicalism and that arises from the in­compatibility of black trans existence with the world of Man serves as one example of how putatively abject modes of being need not be redeployed within hegemonic frameworks but can be operationalized as variable liminal territories or articulated assemblages in movements to abolish the grounds upon which all forms of subjugation are administered.] ====

====Embrace our new methodology – It allows for an interrogation of what it means to have a free democracy – this avoids recreating status quo zombies that ignore neoliberal tactics of pedagogy that forces them to be parakeets of the state==== Most importantly, higher education too often informs a deadening dystopian vision of corporate America AND as an integral thread in the ever-evolving fabric of living democracy.

The United States federal government should substantially curtail the TSA’s authority to conduct domestic surveillance of airports covered by the TSA’s Screening Partnership Program.
