cis women can identify as lesbians trans women can identify as lesbians non-binary people can identify as lesbians trans men can identify as lesbians cis men can identify as lesbians people who are attracted to men can identify as lesbians

literally anyone can identify as a lesbian if that is the label that feels right to them. you can't police others' identities. -sincerely, a lesbian man.

𝑴𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒔 𝑻𝒐 𝑩𝒆 𝑪𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒉𝒆𝒅 - Oliver Wood

DISCLAIMER: I don't support J.K Rowling, that woman is horrible and I'm purely doing this for entertainment and fun and for th love of the characters!!

———

You walk down through one of the halls in the castle of Hogwarts working on with your prefect duties, a torture disguise as a blessing role, though quite dramatic. Being a prefect has been taking a toll on you lately, receiving more orders from the Head Girl or Boy in your house and since new first years are coming along, you've been busier than ever trying to attend and help them get comfy.

Though a specific Quidditch captain has been bugging in your life lately, Oliver has been suspiciously eager to teach you all about Quidditch, quite typical of him but as your prefect role you have to turn him down each time though when it comes to the Oliver Wood, you know this request won't be gone too soon. Everyday he would always ask you the same thing:

“I'll teach you about Quidditch”

And of course as usual, you'd always say no each time, the more you refused the more eager he gets and that finally lets you agree to his request.

”Okay! Fine, I'll let you teach me about Quidditch“ You say to which earned you a delighted look from him, a small part of you fluttered at quite the sight but you brushed it off. “Great! You're quite the tough Snitch to catch“ Oliver winked which you rolled your eyes at the typical response, of course he'll always say something Quidditch related but you didn't pay any mind to that surprisingly.

”Meet me at the Quidditch Pitch tomorrow, around afternoon” He says with a smile, more eager than ever. ”Yeah, sounds good. I'll see you there.”

—————

You arrived at the Pitch and to no surprise he was already there, holding an extra broom with that goofy smirk on his face, you couldn't help but let out a small giggle as you make your way towards him. “What's the agenda today, captain?” To which Oliver gives you the broomstick. “Today, my dear pupil, I'll teach you how to ride the broomstick, well you already know that but with more of a Quidditch style.” He said.

——

“Are you sure I won't uh.. break one of my bones here?..” You said as you gripped the broomstick as the two of you are now a bit higher now, you try to not look down but dear Merlin you couldn't. A chuckle-near-a-laugh was heard from him as he adjusted his broomstick to fly next to you. “You're talking about Quidditch here, of course you're gonna break a few bones but I wouldn't let you break one of yours.” He says as he helps you adjust to a better position, guiding your hands to a recommended position. Every brush of his hands makes your heart flutter and your prayed they he didn't catch on to how flustered you were.

“Now that's better, try to catch-up to me. Don't look down or else you'll puke your guts out.“ Oliver equipped with a laugh as he began to descent with his broom, glancing back to see if you followed of course, an amused smile perched onto his lips as he sees you following him, though quite wobbly but it was a start.

“See? You're getting a hang of it, real talent right there!” You hear him say, small confidence washed over your uneasiness as you followed him around the Pitch. Lesson One, checked!

———

As the day progressed, the feelings did too. You start to know more about he sport and a bit of himself too, a praise from him when you successfully managed to goal through the hoops after many attempts made you feel giddy but you won't admit that. The day ended with the sun setting as the two of you tidied up the place, the recent adrenaline still coursing through your veins as you finally learned something new today, quite an adventurous trait you have to which unknowingly Oliver love dearly.

“Hey, thanks for teaching me all about Quidditch, though I still don't know why you were so eager to teach me.” You said with a smile as you two finally finished tidying up the Pitch.

”You want to know the real reason?“ Oliver etched a fond expression. “It was because I wanted to see that spark of excitement you uniquely have, it's quite adorable. You should wear it more often“ He said with a boyish grin, a bit sheepish and it was the most adorable sight you've seen. A breath hitched from your lips as his own lips brushed against yours before you leaned into it.

Who knew you could melt the Gryffindor quidditch captain with one expression.

Omg this is my first post and for my dear bestie, I hope u guys love this.

[rqreaderz]

so i was browsing for a bit and found these

two radqueer ideologies that seem similar at face value due to their aesthetics but are actually starkly contrasted, quidditsm and consistent progressivism i think both of these provide an interesting and cohesive look at how radqueer liberation might be achieved so i made this chart to compare and contrast them

just to clarify i'm not taking a side on either of them, i just wanted to analyze them alongside each other

what are your thoughts on these?

[quidditism]

Quidditism

Quidditism is an ideology and a movement that seeks to take peaceful action to push the world towards an accepting, tolerant and fully free future, where everyone can thrive without fear.

Why quidditism?

The word 'quiddity' has 2 major definitions. The first one being "whatever makes something what is is, the essence". The movement seeks to establish a world where everyone is allowed to fully embrace themselves and who they truly are. In other words we wish for people to embrace their essence. The second definition of the world 'quiddity' is "deviation from an established pattern or norm, eccentricity". The quidditism movement focuses on marginalised identities such as LGBTQIA+ identities or paraphilias as these people are not allowed, in today's society, to flourish as themselves without fear. In other words, the liberation and normalisation of people considered eccentric, whether it be by their gender presentation, attraction or neurodiversity, is central to our goal.

Quidditism's core values

Now, let's go over quidditism`s beliefs and summarize them.

Radical Inclusion

Radical inclusion is the first of the values we'll go over. Being a radical inclusionist means accepting all 'good-faith' identities. But what even is a 'good-faith' identity?

There are 2 main criteria for an identity to be of 'good-faith'. The first one being that the identity is genuine, and not taken up to prove a point, to grift, or to be generally disingenuous. In other words, if you genuinely identify with it, this box is checked. The second criteria is the one where controversy arises, It is generally defined as being harmless. However, what is considered harmless may vary from individual to individual. Quidditists generally consider that as long as it doesn't do any real world harm (like taking up limited resources, although it is rare a simple identity can achieve this) and tries it's best to be non-offensive and non-bigoted, the identity is good faith. In other words, identifying as a transvestite because it feels right to you, and while having read up on the terms history is completely good faith, however identifying as the same thing to try and mock trans people isn't.

So, quidditists are radically inclusive: they support any genuine identity that does its best to be harmless.

Paraphilias & Contact

Now, we talked about paraphilias above. A paraphilia is defined as an unconventional sexual attraction. In our day & age, homosexuality isn't considered one, however back when the fight for the LGBTQIA+ community was far less advanced, it was considered a paraphilic disorder.

Wait a second, what even is the difference between a paraphilia and a paraphilic disorder? Nothing except the "disorder' part, aka the factor of "is it causing harm or distress to you or people around you".

However, paraphilias are never inherently considered disorders in quidditism. 

Having said that, we consider them the same way as we do kinks and fetishes. They are cousins after all: kink regroups all use of unconventional sexual practises or fantasies while fetishes are a form of sexual desire strongly linked to a particular thing or activity. They overlap a whole lot, don't you think? 

In general, we will use these terms interchangeably.

You could summarise quidditism's contact beliefs by "if it is consensual, it's fine", but you would need to define consent for this. So what is consent?

Consent, as a noun, is defined as the permission for something to happen or the agreement to do something. As a verb, it is defined as giving permission for something to happen or to do something.

Additionally, anyone who consents must be able to back out and change their minds at any point before, during or after what they initially consented to without fear of repercussions. They should also feel free to give (or not) their consent in the first place, and not be forced to do so.

There are a few points that we will examine further here.

Firstly, consenting to sex in itself is a complex thing and not just the act of understanding and agreeing, so there must be both a technical understanding of sex along with an emotional understanding of sex for consent to truly be possible.

Secondly, anyone of age and not under the influence can consent before use of substance, sleep or death. As for regression, some people will want to give consent before while some feel fully able to consent during; meaning this is up to the person in question and whichever one they feel should be respected.

Thirdly, animals cannot consent to sexual acts due to not having the cognitive ability and speech for it. Additionally, just because an animal's body enjoys an act does not mean they consented to it, as consent is a clear agreement and acknowledgement, not body language or what you perceive.

And lastly, younger people are a very nuanced topic. We believe they do have the ability to consent, but that in the current state of the world, it is often unsafe. You can learn more about that in our article about contact between someone and their object of attraction.

Total bodily autonomy

Bodily autonomy is defined as the right to make decisions about your own body, life and future, without coercion or violence. When we say total bodily autonomy, it isn't trivial. In today's world, abortion access and rights are threatened more and more, women are still subject to genitalia mutilation at a very young age in multiple countries, and trans people need to jump through hoops to get gender affirming care. But to us, it doesn't stop there. We want to fight so that everyone has the right to make informed choices on what they do with their body and life, whether that's extreme body modification, gender affirming care, abortion, or just a tattoo.

Anti-psychiatry

Anti-psychiatry is the view that psychiatric treatment can often be more damaging than helpful. Do not the often in the above sentence. So, what does that mean in practise? A few things.

Psychiatric care should be entirely optional. Whether you want to recover with psychiatric help, by yourself or even not al all, you should be given all the necessary information to make that choice for yourself. This ties back in with the last point, total bodily autonomy, and with the next one.

Chosen Recovery

We've spoken about informed total bodily autonomy and what that would mean in psychiatry: the option to seek recovery or not. Here, we are extending this beyond psychiatry. We believe that no matter what you might have that could be recovered from, you should get to choose whether you want to or not. First, we believe that that is your right, and second, we are horrifically aware of the fail rates of forcing someone into recovery: as a general rule of thumb, if someone doesn't want recovery, they won't recover, no matter what you try. That doesn't mean you can't bring the option to their attention, just that ultimately, it is their choice, and theirs alone.

Transhumanism

Following up on all the bodily autonomy related beliefs, we have transhumanism. It is a movement that advocates the enhancements of the human body and condition by developing and making widely available new and future technologies that can greatly enhance longevity, cognition, and well-being. That would include wing or animal ears implants for transspecies folks, to only cite one of many examples.

Realmism

Realmism is an ideology based around the belief in magic and the multiverse. It promotes all faiths and religions, as well as the practise of reality shifting and the right to outlandish, weird, and uncommon beliefs, with an emphasis on being pro-delusion. If you wish to learn more, the entry on transid.org goes into more details.

Existentialism

Existentialism is the philosophical belief we are each responsible for creating purpose or meaning in our own lives. It isn't given to us by an authority. Whether you choose to seek it in faith, the arts, social causes or just your own happiness, it is entirely yours to craft.

Pacifism

Pacifism is a commitment to peace and an oppositioin to violence, war in particular. The quidditism movement believes that unless strictly necessary, violence should never be used, defining it as a last resort. How do we achieve our goals then? Educating.

Punk

Quidditism follows a very punk-ish ethos. The punk ethos is primarily made up of beliefs such as non-conformity, anti-capitalism, anti-authoritarianism, anti-corporatism, a do-it-yourself ethic, anti-consumerist, anti-greed, direct action, and not selling out".

hey hey!! we’re actually moots but I’m too fucking scared to do this off anon. Opinions on this stance?: https://www.tumblr.com/quidditism/782831914218373120/quidditism?source=share

-😨🎶

hi mootie !! i'm going to go through all the points they listed and give my honest opinion!

DISCLAIMER: This is not meant to send backlash to the creator or people who use/resonate with this label! I am one collective giving my opinions to my followers because they asked ^^ please don't send hate to anyone

Also this is probably gonna be long.

I really like the flag too!

Quidditism is an ideology and a movement that seeks to take peaceful action to push the world towards an accepting, tolerant and fully free future, where everyone can thrive without fear.

There's a good start! I agree with everything here. People should take peaceful action to try and push the world to be a better place. Nobody should have to live in constant fear.

Why quidditism? The word 'quiddity' has 2 major definitions. The first one being "whatever makes something what is is, the essence". The movement seeks to establish a world where everyone is allowed to fully embrace themselves and who they truly are. In other words we wish for people to embrace their essence. The second definition of the world 'quiddity' is "deviation from an established pattern or norm, eccentricity".

In other words, the liberation and normalisation of people considered eccentric, whether it be by their gender presentation, attraction or neurodiversity, is central to our goal.

I think this is fine — I don't have a lot to say about this.

Radical Inclusion

Radical inclusion is the first of the values we'll go over. Being a radical inclusionist means accepting all 'good-faith' identities. But what even is a 'good-faith' identity?

There are 2 main criteria for an identity to be of 'good-faith'. The first one being that the identity is genuine, and not taken up to prove a point, to grift, or to be generally disingenuous.

In other words, identifying as a transvestite because it feels right to you, and while having read up on the terms history is completely good faith, however identifying as the same thing to try and mock trans people isn't.

So, quidditists are radically inclusive: they support any genuine identity that does its best to be harmless.

Exactly as prn said, what is considered harmless varies individual from individual. I don't necessarily see anything wrong with what they're saying — I personally find certain good faith labels to do more harm than good. Example: lesboy is harmless in my eyes, a few transIDs are harmful (to me personally, this is completely subjective though).

Paraphilias & Contact

Now, we talked about paraphilias above. A paraphilia is defined as an unconventional sexual attraction. In our day & age, homosexuality isn't considered one, however back when the fight for the LGBTQIA+ community was far less advanced, it was considered a paraphilic disorder.

Wait a second, what even is the difference between a paraphilia and a paraphilic disorder? Nothing except the "disorder' part, aka the factor of "is it causing harm or distress to you or people around you".

Secondly, anyone of age and not under the influence can consent before regression, use of substance, sleep or death.

Thirdly, only older teens (16& up) should consent to adults, with proper harm reduction of course.

The thoughts on younger people are still being worked on.

And lastly, animals cannot consent to sexual acts due to not having the cognitive ability and speech for it. Additionally, just because an animal's body enjoys an act does not mean they consented to it, as consent is a clear agreement and acknowledgement, not body language or what you perceive.

Only part I'm iffy about is grouping paraphilias in with kinks and fetishes. Personally, when I'm talking about kinks, I'm not including necrophilia for example. I think they should remain separate things.

Idk what prn meant by the fourth last paragraph because I'm literally sleep deprived, but I'm going to take it as "if you're of age and in the right state of mind you can consent to sleep, death, use of substances and etc." which I slightly agree with. I don't think a 16 year old can consent to being fucked while dead to a 40+ year old but that might just be a personal thing. (Idk if I got this wrong, please let me know LOL)

Total bodily autonomy

Bodily autonomy is defined as the right to make decisions about your own body, life and future, without coercion or violence. When we say total bodily autonomy, it isn't trivial. In today's world, abortion access and rights are threatened more and more, women are still subject to genitalia mutilation at a very young age in multiple countries, and trans people need to jump through hoops to get gender affirming care. But to us, it doesn't stop there. We want to fight so that everyone has the right to make informed choices on what they do with their body and life, whether that's extreme body modification, gender affirming care, abortion, or just a tattoo.

I agree. I personally believe if you're over the age of 18 you should have complete control over what you do with your body IF you're in the right state of mind (ex: not going through a manic episode, under the influence, etc.) and if you're not being coerced or threatened. It also shouldn't be hurting other people.

Anti-psychiatry

Anti-psychiatry is the view that psychiatric treatment can often be more damaging than helpful. Do not the often in the above sentence. So, what does that mean in practise? A few things.

Psychiatric care should be entirely optional. Whether you want to recover with psychiatric help, by yourself or even not al all, you should be given all the necessary information to make that choice for yourself. This ties back in with the last point, total bodily autonomy, and with the next one.

I don't agree. Psychiatry does a lot of good. I do believe you should get the choice whether or not you want it IF you're in the right state of mind. If you're in danger of harming another person unconsensually, I personally believe they hold the right to hospitalise you.

Chosen Recovery

We've spoken about informed total bodily autonomy and what that would mean in psychiatry: the option to seek recovery or not. Here, we are extending this beyond psychiatry. We believe that no matter what you might have that could be recovered from, you should get to choose whether you want to or not. First, we believe that that is your right, and second, we are horrifically aware of the fail rates of forcing someone into recovery: as a general rule of thumb, if someone doesn't want recovery, they won't recover, no matter what you try. That doesn't mean you can't bring the option to their attention, just that ultimately, it is their choice, and theirs alone.

I agree. Unless that person is endangering people without their consent, they should be able to choose.

Transhumanism

Following up on all the bodily autonomy related beliefs, we have transhumanism. It is a movement that advocates the enhancements of the human body and condition by developing and making widely available new and future technologies that can greatly enhance longevity, cognition, and well-being. That would include wing or animal ears implants for transspecies folks, to only cite one of many examples.

Sure, I don't see anything wrong with this. If it's consensual, knock yourself out

Realmism

Realmism is an ideology based around the belief in magic and the multiverse. It promotes all faiths and religions, as well as the practise of reality shifting and the right to outlandish, weird, and uncommon beliefs, with an emphasis on being pro-delusion. If you wish to learn more, the entry on transid.org goes into more details.

I'm not checking out the link right now, but I agree with the premise. I don't think we should promoting people's delusions, as they can be genuinely harmful to everyone, but besides from that, yeah sure

Existentialism

Existentialism is the philosophical belief we are each responsible for creating purpose or meaning in our own lives. It isn't given to us by an authority. Whether you choose to seek it in faith, the arts, social causes or just your own happiness, it is entirely yours to craft.

Sure! I agree

Pacifism

Pacifism is a commitment to peace and an oppositioin to violence, war in particular. The quidditism movement believes that unless strictly necessary, violence should never be used, defining it as a last resort. How do we achieve our goals then? Educating.

100%. I'm a strong believer that if your only way of solving an issue is by starting/encouraging a war, you shouldn't be in a leadership position.

Punk

Quidditism follows a very punk-ish ethos. The punk ethos is primarily made up of beliefs such as non-conformity, anti-capitalism, anti-authoritarianism, anti-corporatism, a do-it-yourself ethic, anti-consumerist, anti-greed, direct action, and not selling out".

If it's not hurting other people, genuinely go for it imo.

We've reached the end, and I have one last thing to say! A lot of my points are from my opinions, because that is what the anon asked. Everyone is entitled to opinions, please don't let me influence yours! Research and make your own opinions.

Btw all of the > bits are directly copied and pasted, I didn't edit them

@quidditism you might like this tag! not sure! :)

Apologies for the low quality.

[phanuelscumrag]

Just wanted to talk about some discourse in the radqueer community.

I've seen lots of people call themselves radqueer without supporting certain identities, such as transharm/transhate, non-ideological nazis, certain contact stances, etc. You aren't fully radqueer if you don't support these things, but that's okay. You don't have to be fully radqueer.

If you support most identities, but not all, you are radqueer-adjacent. There is absolutely nothing wrong with calling yourself radqueer-adjacent. You can still interact with the community as a radqueer-adjacent or other similar (fleur, radinclus, etc) label.

Have a nice day, everyone.
