If you are one of my followers / moots please be read the post before freaking out at the first tag of the post 🙏
I desperately need somebody to explain the whole concept of being radqueer to me.
I am anti-radqueer as it stands now and from what I know, I don’t intend to change that. But I need somebody to sit me the fuck down and tell me exactly what being radqueer means to the radqueer community, because all my information comes from places of hatred from the anti-rq side. Which, from what I’ve been told, is well deserved— I am pro-para, NOT pro-abuse or pro-c of harmful paras, but I also think paraphilias should NOT be considered part of the queer community, nor do I think you can transition your age or become disordered by choice.
I support the ORIGINAL definitions of transIDs (“transage” being neurodiverse people who aren’t mentally their body age but don’t use that to enter their mental age’s areas, “transrace” being people who are adopted into a family of a different race and associate themselves more with the culture of their family, “transabled” being people with BIID [esp those who aren’t recovering through therapy and thus take a medical route]. — none of these are necessarily TRANS, but I support the use of those words in those contexts, though they’re unfortunately no longer associated with that.)
I do NOT support RCTA, or things like “trans mall shooter” and shit like that. There is no world in which I would support identities, esp harmful topics, where you just smack a “trans” label onto it and call it a queer identity.
The only transID I support in general aside from transgender is transspecies, in the sense of therians and alterhumans.
But you know what’s also true? The anti-endo community’s claims about the endo community make their hatred seem well-founded, too. There’s a lot of misinfo about the endo community that I see repeated over and over again in the anti-endo community that, when you go into the endo community with that bias in mind, you may see a lot of.
I don’t like being told all my information about a topic from one side. Much less the side that hates the topic and everybody who supports it.
Better yet — I want a radqueer to debate me respectfully. I want to learn.
If anybody who is or was in the radqueer community is interested, please educate me. And if it is fully true that the things I’ve mentioned I don’t support IS really what your community is based on, then you’re still welcome to debate me, but please do not expect my stance to change.
I will not engage with disrespectful takes. If you don’t think you can debate me and remain respectful, then please DNI.
