So what would a Vision of queer Solarpunk look like? For me, it would take a lot from the already existing queer communes. I would hope that as we enter a solarpunk era that it would be a society that has the freedom that comes of rejecting binary gender expectations, rejecting sex-negative attitudes, rejecting toxic monogamy culture, rejecting body negativity and embracing self-expression and intimacy.
The autonomy inherent in a community that produces its own power and makes its own food such as is often envisioned by solarpunk would further free a community from outside pressures that currently create the systemic repression of all these things. Housing could be built to accommodate the needs of polyamorous partnerings. The apothecary model, which I wrote about previously, would mean trans people could begin transitioning without having to deal with with the gatekeeping of a cold and often ignorant medical system.
