I've been thinking about making something like this for a while.
PT: Inclunity ❤️🩹🌿 /end PT
A stance based on inclusion and unity. Particularly, of groups who feel/are outcasted by both anti and pro groups, who are struggling to attain recovery, who can't, or don't want to recover, and generally need support because of all of that and/or more.
The name is a combination of inclu(sion/sive) and unity, alluding to radical inclusion. Terminology/grammar-wise, someone who believes in inclunity might call themself inclunited. The grammar follows "unity", so inclusion plus "united".
This is made by an ex-radqueer, as My URL suggests, and is welcome to those going through similar, whether that is as an ex-radqueer, a recovering radqueer, a pre-radqueer or radqueer adjacent who is judged as "not radqueer enough" but not welcome in anti-radqueer spaces either, etc.
I do not want to exclude radqueers from this either, to make room for dismantling the belief that "only radqueers will accept you" that I had learned before. Whether that changes your beliefs or anything is not up to Me.
Also, I'm nervous that this just won't work. I know how isolated I felt, when I left the radqueer community, how I was even targeted. I worry that if this flops, nothing will change for people who feel/felt similar, leaving no space, and making the place they're in look easier than branching out.
I'm going to tag some blogs to try and avoid that, if you wouldn't mind reblogging? You may also suggest additions or edits.

PT: Inclunity believes in... /end PT
Agreeing to disagree on *not dangerous (see "Inclunity understands...") things; not needing to "fix" another perspective; a difference in perspective being just that, not an inferiority or anything.
Alterhumans, furry, non-traumagenic plurality, otherkin, therianthropy, etc.
Blocking tags, users, etc. as necessary; creating your own feed.
Divergent/atypical dysphoria and euphoria.
Fetish/kink/paraphilia; thought crimes are not real, no attraction is inherently "harmful"; only actions can be.
Good faith queer identities; a-spec, gaybians, lesboys/gaygirls, m-spec gays/lesbians/monos/straights, neopronouns and/or xenogenders, non-monogamous, selfship, etc.
Harm reduction; coping "badly" for a period if it remains as coping.
Hazard consent; informed consent.
It is necessary to be critical, even of those on your own side, but be conscious not to expend your energy on someone who is unreceptive/bad faith/etc.
Putting positivity into the world, reciprocating or spreading positivity you find.
Recovery if possible, at whatever rate is possible.
Ship and Let Ship; Don't Like? Don't Read; Dead Dove: Do Not Eat.
Tolerating different opinions than your own.
TransIDs and alternatives.

Radnormal/gloryqueer/adjacent ideology.
Radqueer/adjacent ideology.
Reactionary/shockbaiting language, such as "think of the children".
The language (mostly slurs, also words with a loaded history) someone uses, and if there are better alternatives.
TransIDs using transphobic language of "what you want to be".
Why someone uses transabled (or other prefixes); is the reason why because of neglect of an underlying issue; if the label used in an anti-recovery way.
Why someone uses transharmed/transharmful (or other prefixes); is the reason why because of neglect of an underlying issue; if the label used in an anti-recovery way.

*"Not dangerous" means things that will not become dangerous. A subjective opinion (I don't like y, I think z, etc.) is not dangerous. An objective fact (x is y, it is z, etc.) has the ability to be dangerous, if mis/disinformation goes far, and should be corrected.
**Bigots who make the effort to change their views are worth helping; same goes for other radicalists or extremeists who are willing to take the steps.
Bodily autonomy means the right to make "bad" (INFORMED) decisions.
It takes time to unlearn a radical or extemeist stance on your own, so it is vital to have a space to ask an "offensive" or a "stupid" or "wrong" question, in order to learn and change.
Inclunity aims to act as a group for those who don't feel they fit somewhere, by putting out positivity, reciprocating positivity, etc.
Inclunity wants to make space for those who are recovering or those who are unable/don't want to.
