#Queer Revolution

[comradeupdog]

Hey, Queer people! Police are not your goddamn friends!  Who the fuck do you think our elders were throwing bricks at during the Stonewall Uprising?

And if you’re gay and become a cop, I don’t want to see you in my fucking spaces. Not because I don’t like cops (I don’t but that’s not the point) but because if a cop is in a place with Queer people its no longer a safe space for Queer people! This is not some purity theory argument, we are heading in the direction of Queerness being illegal in the US. Who the fuck do you think will enforce anti-trans bathroom bans or take trans children away from supportive parents? THE COPS! If you are gay and a cop I don’t want to hear see you talking about Queerness, you have stabbed Queer people in the back when you put on the same badge that was flashed to justify gay bashing for generations.

This is not even to talk about how you are stabbing our BIPOC comrades in the back by participating in a system which is actively keeping radicalized slavery intact. If you are a gay cop or a gay person who supports the police you are everything our elders were fighting against YOU ARE THE PROBLEM and you are never going to change the system from within.

Happy Non-Binary People’s Day!!!

And also July 14th is the Revolutionary holiday…

The Storming of the Bastille Day!

Both holidays celebrate revolts against the established order, the Old Regime and the Old Order - One revolution is over but its ideas live on, the other is still ongoing!

As the working peoples of Paris stormed a symbol of their oppression we must destroy the symbols of gendered oppression that have forced us into a prison of conformity!

The best ideas of the French Revolution live on in radical ideologies of care, rejection of conformity, and solidarity of all human kind - they live on in us who challenge the order!

LIBERTÉ

ÉGALITÉ

FRATERNITÉ

so tired of this new rising trend of cis people on tiktok telling trans people what pronouns and labels they can use and generally trying to separate us, again. we've already been through this before. stop pretending that only people under the age of 15 use neopronouns. stop pretending that all niche labels are "unnecessary" and causing damage to the trans community. you don't know us. you don't have to deal with what we have to deal with. if someone wants to use a label you think is stupid, i don't fucking care. if someone wants to use noun pronouns and you think that's "destroying the human language", i don't fucking care. i don't want to hear how you think we're living in a fantasy land. let trans people tell you what is right and wrong. you do not get to dictate our lives any longer.

TERFS, TRANSMEDS, RADFEMS, AND EXCLUSIONISTS DO NOT FUCKING INTERACT.

Lucky

I’ve been lucky from birth. From being adopted into a loving home to getting into the college of my dreams.

I’ve always been lucky.

But luck can wear off, and that’s what I’m afraid of.

Today, in college, we learned about an Egyptian girl named Sara. She was sent to jail and later on took her own life because she was queer. She raised a rainbow flag at a concert and that was the whole reason it started.

The only thing I was thinking was “THAT COULD HAVE BEEN ME”

Maybe if I wasn’t sent to a loving home, or I was sent somewhere outside of America, that could have been me.

If I didn’t have a loving partner or a group of friends willing to fight for me, that could have been me.

Sure I was bullied but if it got to threatening levels, that could have been me.

The queer revolution isn’t over. We have more people to fight for, More people to help. We need each other and we need to fight for each other.

some good news!! the spanish state's ministry of equality has finally passed one of the most progressive trans laws on the planet, shielded free and universal access to abortion and banned conversion therapy and genital surgery for intersex babies, among a lot of other feminist policies. the minister of equality irene montero gave a speech thanking spain's lgtb and trans associations for helping her draft these legislations. couldn't be more proud!!

It’s scary out there. Republicans hating trans people, wanting to take kids from their loving homes. Trying so many ways to defeat us.

Unfortunately for them, history is not so kind to the loosing side. The good guys lose battles often, but bad guys lose the war eventually.

What we have to do right now is work on our strengths and build our communities. Whatever you can do, it will be needed. Artists and writers? Keep our queer histories and stories flowing, and make posters and other things for easy communication.

Scientists? Keep researching, and keep tabs on ways we can protest in the most efficient way possible. Farmers and gardeners? I think this one is obvious. Decentralize the food supply.

Teachers? Therapists? Doctors? Take Care of our siblings. Show them kindness. Educate us on how to protect ourselves.

Everyone has a use. Everyone is a person. Together we can defeat them. I know we can.

There’s already a grassroots social media being established. We can win this. We give them power, so let’s Take It Back.

I'm starting a youtube channel!

I'm gonna talk about my transition process, post song covers, maybe do some tutorials on how to make stuff, talk about mental illness, maybe tell some stories, maybe throw in some tarot/astrology/reiki too. It'd mean a lot to me if you guys checked it out!!

I wanted to say that I really appreciated your share on that post about there being no trans folks before 2000. I resonated it with it a lot, as a millennial who didn't know nonbinary was even an option until much further into my adult years.

Thank you. And yeah that's exactly it. I remember other queer folk I grew up around. There was a degree of kinship we saw in each other, in our shared existential misery, but none of us had a name for what we were. We were always here but feeling existentially wrong in a world that wasn't built for us.

I remember when my daughter was born, holding her in the ward and feeling a profound sadness that it wasn't me on that bed. Even when I did learn about being trans, "well it's too bad you're not trans" I told myself for another decade. That weird existential anxiety was still there.

I've called it self-exclusion. Therapist calls it internalized transphobia. An auspice of self-resentment for not being able to conform. Now the self exclusion is there because I waited for so long to transition. There's a lot of bad stuff in the world and I never wanted to be the person to make it worse.

Bringing it back home, I am happy to report nearly all my friends that survived that time are now at-minimum queer. Some transitioned. Some didn't make it. Some got so far in the closet they're now homophobes. People forget the 90s was so casually homophobic you even had Bill and Ted calling each other 'fag' and 'queer' for the simple act of hugging.
