at some point during high school i drew a centaur girl with large breasts because i wanted to draw a character that looked like me, and my biofamily got real upset about it. "why are they so large" because mine are that large. "wouldn't that make it hard for her to run" interesting that you think that but keep trying to make me run. "don't draw things like this, it's morally bad" ok i and my apparently inherently pornographic body will just be over here trying to avoid being looked at
maximum-radical-queer / MAXRAD / MAXRADQUEER coininv post
Otherwise known as "raduqeer maxxing", to be a maxrad is to maximize radqueer beliefs & principles in everyday life to the fullest, whatever that means to you.
Radical acceptance, radical inclusivity inclusivity, consent/not commiting harm, advocating & caring about others, PLUR (though that's not like: inherently rq but ykwim).. etc.
Along with this, radmaxes support self acceptance, as well as you yoursself learning to accept YOUR identities and YOUR labels & spreading positivity to others to do the same.
The term is to declare to others your radical queerness & pride in it (even if you may still struggle with accepting yourself) & your attempts to bring these positive principles to every aspect in your life. They are hard set beliefs you have.
It doesn't end at supporting freaks and perverts on tumblr! Show your pride! Radqueermax! Spread the love!
Because the transID community right now is largely divided & unorganized in a way to foster any bigger community & I think it comes at a detriment to the discussions & work we could be having/doing.
I hope with this umbrella label we can:
• become closer as a community (allies included)
• become more educated on these topics (even members in the community)
• facillitate more healthy discussions around this topic
• unify as a group of similar individuals under the wider community to share our similar experiences & fight for one another
• make it easier for people to understand us
• help erase a lot of the misinformation & uneducated rhetoric passing around our community spaces
• Help push for wider acceptance
and more!:)
BESIDES being a term we can all unify under, what does this movement push for?
This movement pushes for more education & "wokeness" in TENREC+ spaces.
Right now it is common place to go onto any one of these tags & see someone acting in a way that is ignorant & somtimes even harmful out of pure ignorance - & it gives us a bad look as a community.
If you wanna be any one of these transIDs you cannot run into wider discussions around different cultures, languages, race in general, etc like a bull in a china shop! You need to be educated on these things.
And a lot of us are! But this movement pushes for a more woke & educated approach to engaging in these communities.
(mainly actually understanding race theory but other stuff too ykyk?)
-
This movement is largely centred around looking at all the conversations today with colourism, racism, texturism, xenophobia, etc, reading & understanding the theory on that, and then applying it to our communities & how we go about existing in them & advocating for them!
We do belong in this sphere, but having the right to be here doesn't mean we don't have to educate ourselves & put in the work to advocate for ourselves and others!
This movement not only is to unify us as similar people under one subgroup, but also to unify us with people in the larger groups of this cis or trans.
We don't want to work alone remaking for example race theory but include us - we want to work off of what is already there & create new theory & discussion to push for the acceptance of TENREC+ people, & cisID folk..
We are a community all together, and not just the trans ones.
I hope this makes sense?
I may be , having delusions of grandeur here. But I have beautiful dreams for our communities.
Unity for us as a subgroup & us as a larger group - all culminating in genuine activism & research & literature & theory being made & discussed around these topics. That is what TENREC+ standa for.
Why the term TENREC plus?
Originally coined on the soon to be privated @transrace-central , when an alter posted "what would you call the overarching label for these very similar groups?"
There were a few terms floated, Trans - narionality, race, ethnicity (translanguage frivolously forgotten by accident) - making different acronyms likes T-CREN or T-RENC.
Morally-yikes-ig replied with "transgenus is similar!" which - it is! But not quite what was being looked for + acronyms are fun.
That is when verymanyrats reblogged with a photo of a species named TENREC & said "name it TENREC" which was enjoyed for the whimsy.
-
Now; the term is TENREC+ - because there are letters missing of the acronym that was made from fun & whimsy for the joy of it all.
Anyways! Hope any of this made sense! I am bad at explaining things when I am in head spaces like this and I really want it to be open ended enough for community folk to add of of course! uhmm and yea sorry
i hope nobody was offended by the, "get woker" stance of the. post. i just think we all need to get woker.
And this movement only has this so far, I am sure more will be added on with the wind or something but really I want it to be bare bones yk? Like no contact stances or somethinv because this is a movement not a dni list idk.. But yea! I hope any of this made sense lmk what everyone thinks.
uhmm... not new 2 the rq community but new start! x3
(about me under the cut!)
I am aziza & I share this blog with ezra!
My side blog is @t-rtf
His side blog is:
We are pro transID, para (proCC), pro MUD... etc
BUT ! We are critical of the radqueer community & we don't believe identity negates action! We will judge you on your actions not your labels. So. Yea.
Boundaries:
I am already owned so no romo or NSFW interaction directed at me - and I am iffy with plato. I fluctuate on the plato repulsed to favourable spectrum.
Also! We are jewish - if you post nazi shit - idc how or why - we don't wanna see it! We may soft block you!! blehhh
my longterm gf can support transrace but most rqs cant.. smh
(shes irl and not radq at all btw. hell shes not even a she she just lets me forcefem her - shes a nonqueer adult man who grew up offline. didnt even know what transgender was before meeting me.)
Hot take. Since I just saw something that made me roll my eyes so hard.
Whether or not kids can consent in a utopia youthlib future is literally a useless argument. Like, we don’t live in that world. We may never live in that world. Even if you’re an optimist, you have to realize that we will not see that world for a very very long time. Right now it as useful of a thing to talk about as talking about a world where unicorns are real.
Right now kids cannot consent to adults. “Do you want to have sex with me?” “Yes.” That yes means less than nothing in a world where kids have learned that saying no to an adult gets you yelled at/threatened/beaten/denied privileges/denied basic needs/emotionally manipulated until you say yes. Literally take your pick. Some of these have happened to me, some of these I know people who they have happened to. There is zero way to meaningfully consent to someone who can legally beat you for discipline (read: disagreeing with them) in far too many places.
Once we actually build a future with youth rights we can debate about things like physical maturity and emotional maturity and whatever. Right now if you see children as “able to consent” to you I am going to assume you want to manipulate/abuse them. You want a youthlib utopia? Get off your ass and work for it. Ban corporal punishment. Lower the voting age. Reform the school system. End a culture of “obey your elders or else” that every kid gets constantly indoctrinated with. Make it so kids aren’t terrified of making any adult unhappy ever because otherwise said adult might chuck a pair of pliers at the wall and you can’t criticize them because you’re a kid so you just have to be around someone who might do that if you make them mad enough. Oh? You don’t want to do the work? Your advocacy begins and ends with “let kids fuck me”? Of fucking course it does.
i think that radqueers should start intermingling with (respectful) antis more. i understand a lot of us dont want to interact with beings that dont fully accept us but i think showing ourselves in non-radqueer spaces can help expose new beings to the term.
just a thought, radqueer social media activism may not be the most effective route but it's all most of us have got the ability to do
