Cis identities: 27, white, asexual, questioning aro/demiromantic (in a relationship that felt different than how I felt with any other person), autistic, ADHD, BPD, CPTSD
Trans identities: genderfluid, genderflux, transAI, transclown, transcartoon, transJapanese, questioning more
Saying being trace is racist is like saying being transgender is sexist. I get it, new things may make you uncomfortable, but you need to stop with your bias. Trace individuals aren't hurting anyone, the same way Transgender people are not hurting anyone.
Heart breaking to see so many tracephobic Trans people.

I also have some things to say about Araki Yasusada but this ones complicated to me I feel
Theres also a LOT of historical figures who identified as white but weren't born that way, the problem is I can't tell on my own if they count on this list, considering a lot have been talked about to have done so to escape racism or to work a good career
This list exists (though wiki talks about these people fucking horrifically)
Honestly I'd like to start a group of Radqueers who like history and would help look for examples of TransRace and other TransID people, since I am one person and this is a tall task. (Also cause I want to change the narrative of some people if we can)
Villain complex: A flag for those who have a villain complex. A "villain complex" refers to the idea that a person may perceive themselves as inherently evil or deserving of punishment and undeserving of kindness and love; similar to a victim complex but reversed.
Positivity in general that transracial people are not inherently racist? That because some are, especially high profile ones, that that doesn’t mean a transracial identity is inherently racist or harmful?
Dear transracial individuals,
Your dysphoria - atypical, or not - does not make you racist.
Your euphoria - atypical, or not - does not make you racist.
Your identity - atypical, or not - does not make you racist.
If you worry that you're racist; then you likely aren't racist.
There is always room to learn if there's accidental microaggressions, biases, and whatnot that may come subconsciously to you. Overall that "room to learn" does not make you malicious. It's room to learn. That's it.
Points individuals make against transracial identity are purposefully ignoring the nuance in identities, neglecting the perspectives behind the complex identities to further their bias, and frankly looking quite racist AND transphobic in the way they tend to repackage racism and transphobia in their arguments.
i actually HATE anti-rqs who call the radqueer community a cult. not only are they wrong and just, you know. horribly uneducated. but it's also just throwing around the word "cult" and watering it down to "a group of people who share a common ideology" like guys do we know what a cult is anymore.
It's deeply upsetting especially since I have been a victim of a cult.
They don't know what they're talking about, and yeah, they water down the term so much when they do that. This community behaves nothing like what cults are truly like... There's no connections at all if you actually look at the facts:
Cults are small groups that devote themselves around one leader, ideology, or philosophy, though they are usually always led by one "leader", or a smaller group of people who hold power in the cult. Cults are harmful, and exist to benefit the leader for their own purpose, whether that be money or praise. There's no "leaders" in the RQ community.
They hold zero tolerance for questions or criticism, which isn't seen in the RQ community.
There's also a belief in cults that there is no real reason to ever leave them, that any former follower is wrong for leaving. Which, I have never seen in the RQ community.
Or another common belief is that the leader(s) is always right, no matter what. Again, there's no leaders in the community.
Cults commonly are isolated from society, making it harder to detect them and victims of said cults. RQs aren't isolated, if anything, they're hiding due to hatred and misunderstanding.
Let's not forget the authoritarian control over members and victims... Which, doesn't happen.
Manipulation of members and victims... Which, doesn't happen. Sure there's bad apples, but there's bad apples in ever community, there's always going to be manipulators, but I have never seen RQs manipulating others into being RQs...
Gonna do a live reaction to all of this under the cut
Dear lovely YouTuber, if you see anything from me (especially this post) feel free to contact me at all, because I feel this is a horrific way of showing ANY community
4:56 into an HOUR LONG VIDEO. We already have picked out and started by talking about fucking contact discourse for some god awful reason and talking about transID's by talking about TransHarm ID's and saying Rq's "don't care about transID's because they don't affect people" and implying that we don't think grooming affects people and ignore the complexity or how TransHarm works. They focus on transition part of transID and make TransRace and TransAge people sound "insane"
6:04 we have completely forced the idea that XS as it was originally coined is a huge problem in this community
7:47 we have focused so much on TransHarm. Without even giving ANY room for why someone would be like that, also saying "living a harmful lifestyle"..... I want to hold your hand when I say this, these people don't do shit ever
By 8:57 we have demonized all transID's, completely missed the history on why trace was made as a term, and implied TransAge people as groomers
INTERVIEW 1 "A" rq
I don't know if I like this, I will be entirely honest. This seemed a bit lead on about abuse and the conversation about A explaining what transID's were suddenly changing to be about groomers feels a weird. Idk if this is bad editing or the person interviewed just.. it seems like really off and timed badly yk
19:14 the recap of the interview just kinda sucks and implies more and more the community is just straight up abusive and predatory
INTERVIEW 2 "B" rq
I feel like this person was more prepared, I also think the questions were done better generally.
[ I'm going to note that it's really weird there isn't a talking section here to talk about what B said, which gives huge red flags considering they said the most positives ]
INTERVIEW 3 "C" rq-ish
Mid off on this person, I feel most of the definitions were done badly, the defense section for Radqueers also sounded weird but it isn't really that.. just 🫤. Also I hate the TransHarm part, I generally just hate the person who was interviewed. Nvm I'm now at the end of this interview and I REALLY hate the person interviewed, this should not have been someone taken in because the shit said is mostly taken not for constructive criticism, it's going to be taken for confirmation biases to say the entire community is a fucking problem. I can understand our community has problems but fucking hell this is not the place LOOK AT WHERE YOU AREE
[ I have taken from these interviews that the ones who were selected would say more negative things, maybe that sounds crazy but even on pedi and other platforms I have no seen half of the shit reported on. I'm not saying it didn't happen, I'm saying it's selection bias to find were it did ]
45:06 so the longest interview was by someone who didn't have good times in the community and now they talk about anti's in a kind of "heroic" way even before the interview.. I hate I hate I hate
INTERVIEW 1 "D" Anti rq
Holy shit this is about sparklecare, not only does this fucker talk about the situation without actually understanding it but it just makes the creator sound so fucking ass. Love you sparklecare. Also can people who were fans of sparklecare stop inserting themselves and being so self important over a comic made by SOMEONE ELSE. Finally actually talking about Radqueers, literally just saying the whole community is grooming, infantalizing victims of abuse, the interviewer showing their bias. It's just ass. Outright lying about abuse prevention in the community (if you listen to this person and imagine a transphobic christian, it sounds the exact same)
[ okay so sometimes they do just not cut the interviews with separate talks ]
INTERVIEW 2 "E" Anti rq
Instantly into contact discourse, groomer narrative, creator showing the bias AGAIN. A weird thing about "they should keep younger people out of the community", sorry, younger people get kinks and para's, they should have a place to talk about it somewhere clear and not hidden away where they could be more hurt. This person thinks para's are VERY dumb and don't think para's should talk to each other. interviewer makes a weird comment insinuating the younger part of the community are YOUNG young, E makes a weirder comment along the lines that queer community shouldn't have kids in it. okay with TransID's????? E wants the government to stop the community. Basic internet safety for kids (an age range not really at all a part of the community)
THE ENDING
This fucker acts like they've heard "both sides" when they took really specific people and made a huge misleading focus on TransHarm even in the end of the video
"far too many negatives outweighing the positives", bitch. You didn't talk to people ABOUT the positives. Not why trace was made into a term, not about why people identified as things, lead conversations to be about abuse even with the one person who spoke more positively
I don't like this video, and I'll say it again
If you are the creator of this video, contact me, I'll do an interview for you if you want more, I'll do whatever, but we should talk. Because the people you picked up seem very selected
rainbow dash gets invited to pinkie's and fluttershy's rq pride party

radical queerness is everywhere. there are people who have confusing feelings about their race, age, abilities, WHATEVER else, and don't have a word for it. They will find it. there are paraphiles who are familiar with their attractions but don't know where to go, or what to do about it. They will know. they probably feel like freaks right now, though. as more and more people discover what radqueer is and what it means, the antis will fade out. you cannot stifle the expressions, the realness and the happiness of so many people. 🌈🍓
Your identity doesn't need to make sense to anyone, not even yourself. The most important thing is that you like it, that you feel comfortable with those terms, they make you feel like you! Your identity can be complex, it can also be simple! You can use labels that are heavily specific to yourself or you can use simple ones as well. No one has a right to tell you that you're not using the right term, that's for you to decide yourself. Love you all =^.^=
