A WARNING FOR PICREW USERS
There's a picrew called RADCREW and it features stuff like pro- pedophilia, transid, zoophilia, incest, necrophilia, etc..it's very gross and claims being a "critinclus" is being an exclu which it isnt? Anyways just watch out for them. They're gross. Also they're a pro-shipper! Disgusting
ya know what? I think the reason I hate radqueers so much is because if I wasn’t so experienced with healthily dealing with my NPD and OCD, I could easily have become one.
I have morality OCD. It basically means that everything I’m morally opposed to, my brain tries to convince me I actually am. I was once hospitalized because my intrusive thoughts convinced me I was a literal nazi and I thought to myself “I’d rather die than be a Nazi”.
and the way I was conditioned in school was that the only way I was worth anything is if I was getting attention. So a lot of my intrusive thoughts and NPD shit have to do with obsessive compulsive attention seeking- and all the things that radqueers do are things I’ve had to consciously tell my intrusive thoughts to not convince me into doing just for attention. I see myself so much in the whole radqueer concept of transitioning towards oppression but not because I want to. I didn’t choose to have my mind sabotage me at every step of the way in my life. So I actually understand where so much of that attention seeking comes from, which is how I know that they’re dealing with an actually serious issue that they deserve time and space to heal from, but at the same time this “coping mechanism” they e developed is actively immoral, and I know some of them might actually have OCD and NPD and the like, but to USE those as scapegoats for their blatant racism and ableism is so infuriating. For all the YEARS I suffered in silence with my bigoted intrusive thoughts, never once did I let myself BECOME BIGOTED. That took fucking strength seeing as I was 10 when this all started. So you radqueers don’t get to shit all over that by acting like “hey, thought crime doesn’t exist, therefore I can be racist and ableist and blame it on my brain :)))”
mental illness can do a lot of fucked up shit to you but it does not make you bigoted, because bigotry is a choice. always. So I don’t CARE if they’re struggling with OCD or NPD or whatever- I mean I wish them more strength to deal with it because I wouldn’t wish that pain on anyone, but I have no sympathy for how so many have chosen to deal with this shit.
and the worst part is knowing that a lot of them aren’t even doing it to cope with a personal struggle, they’re just doing it because.
so yeah. FUCK every single radqueer. And in relevance to this post, a very SPECIAL fuck you to every single “transOCD” and “transNPD” person I’ve seen! Fuck off :))))
As a BLACK TRANS PERSON seeing the way “Trace” people use the term ‘transphobic’ as a way to defend their bullshit makes me want to IMPLODE.
oh my fucking god. i'm going to talk about this a little bit because i'm fucking livid. i am not a person of color so I don't want to speak over anyone, and i'm not an expert on this topic, but... this is way too fucking far, even for radqueers.
[Image ID: A screenshot of a coining post by tumblr user @/centipedekiyoko. It reads:
“Transgeisha: A transid term where you wish to be a geisha.”
Then, there is a flag. It has 13 horizontal stripes, of varying sizes but in a symmetrical pattern. From top to bottom, the colors are black, medium purple, purple, blue, red, white, golden, white, red, blue, purple, medium purple, and black. End ID.]
this is truly appalling. first, let’s just start with the fact that the geisha are not an aesthetic. they are a deeply important part of Japanese culture, and they have been for nearly 8 centuries, and that's AFTER they were inspired by aspects of Chinese culture. i bet this person would not be able to tell you what geisha even means in Mandarin (aka the language geisha is in, it literally translates to art person, usually interpreted as artisan), or that geishas were originally men, or that they are HIGHLY trained in MANY aspects of Japanese culture. the geisha that this person is imagining- the makeup and hair and attire? that’s just the surface of what the geisha are.
girls usually start their training to become a geisha around the age of 14-15. they live in separate housing and undergo rigorous training for YEARS. they become experts and masters in Japanese culture and arts. and they don't do it so that white strangers can fetishize them and shit. there is absolutely importance to the typical geisha appearance and style- but it's impossible to fully appreciate the depth of even that, if you're not from that culture, so you can't just fucking say "oh im transgeisha now" because you like the aesthetic. if you don't have the experience of that culture, you can't just "become" one of the most honored traditions from said culture. when geishas don their traditional attire and makeup, it's their culture. when we do it, it's called yellowface.
so let’s talk about the term “yellowface”. it refers to when white people use orientalist stereotypes and caricatures to dress up as, impersonate, and/or act as Asian people/characters. and for over a century, white people have been doing exactly that with the geisha- trying to dress as geishas, without knowing any of the cultural significance of them, or bothering to find out how to even accurately "portray" the geisha. American film has LONG endorsed this kind of stereotyping, and it has led to an EXTREMELY orientalist, racist, anti-Asian Hollywood and media culture in America. Asian creators in that industry have long spoken about this term and the issues it describes.
but yellowface is exactly the sentiment this "identity" reeks of. a persona of Japanese culture, not anything more. Japanese people are not our aesthetic. if you can't even recognize the basic humanity of the people whose culture you're taking, then why the fuck are you even making terms like this in the first place?
again, i'm not trying to be preachy about this. i would greatly welcome perspectives from actual Japanese people about this, I just saw this earlier and it hasn't left my mind since because it's so horrible. please block and report this person.
applying queer inclusionism and exclusionism to non-queer things doesn’t even make sense to me because the whole premise of them is that you shouldn’t infight among the queer community based on queer identity. Exclusionism as a concept for respectability politics, arose in the context of queer “respectability”. It started with a context of “this group of queer people is making me look bad because they’re different than me”. it doesn’t make sense outside of that context because the context of queer community is what made exclusionism and inclusionism possible in the first place. exclusionism only arose because queers who wanted assimilation instead of acceptance threw their less-privileged queer siblings under the bus. exclusionism started with the basis of their being something to exclude people from.
so it makes literally zero sense to say that being against non-queer identities like trace and transabled is “exclusionism” because like. they’re not inherently queer. so there’s nothing we’re excluding them FROM- they’re not being excluded from the queer community on an axis of their queer identity, there’s no context of respectability or infighting. exclusionism doesn’t just mean “being against something”. I’m not an exclusionist for being against things, the point of exclusionism isn’t just to be against something it’s to actively exclude someone from something. that’s not what happens to transx shit and them acting like they’re experiencing exclusionism is fucking annoying and disrespectful above all else to the people who actually have suffered from queer exclusionism.
im not saying it’s not possible to apply exclusionist rhetoric to non-queer things, but exclusionism is a specific intra-community dynamic so it doesn’t make sense to apply it as an introcommunity one. there are forms of exclusionism in every marginalized community- being anti-self dx is a form of disability/nd exclusionism, being anti-endo is a form of plural exclusionism, and yes people can be excluded from a community on an axis unrelated to said community, such as the way many disabled people are excluded from pride events due to inaccessibility, but absolutely none of that is comparable to fuckin transx and it’s so fucking shitty and ignorant to just call any old thing exclusionism just because you don’t like that you’re being called out for being a dickwad
okay but how is wanting to be a different race any different from wanting to be a different gender? sure okay poc are oppressed, so ur trying to transition into oppression. wtvr. but how is that different from transitioning to a female? it has never made snese to me
i have a LOT to say about this, and it’s much more complicated than you’re making it out to be, but my voice is not the one you need to be listening to about it. i didn’t want to ignore this ask because it’s a very important topic, but im going to leave this post as an open invitation for any poc to discuss freely their thoughts on this. there is no pressure if you don’t want to involve yourself in the discussion, but im leaving it open for any tpoc who is interested in elaborating.

Trace shit makes me so fucking uncomfortable, it’s so racist and the fact that so many people just accept it is highly disgusting.
Like I looked up that ‘transarab’ shit you told me about and just,,, what the fuck??
Like no, you don’t want to be arab, you want the aesthetic of being arab, you want the orientalist fantasy of being arab, and still have the privilege of not being called a terrorist everyday because you’re white, that’s what you want.
Its just, ugh, I can’t believe that shit is a thing and ik most of it are trolls but it’s still so fucking uncomfortable and racist yk???
^^^^ if you need to talk lmk.
people are seriously trying to find trace alternatives ??
yeah, im really trying to stay in my lane here but im super uncomfortable with all of this. to me, the whole “experience” of wishing you were born a different race or culture is by and large, in almost every situation, something born of a lack of critical understanding of what race and culture ARE. so to me it’s not that the term itself is bad, it’s the whole concept. i don’t want to speak too in depth on it as a white person but i want people to know where I stand. I probably won’t make any more posts about it because i want to cultivate a safe place for my followers of color but yeah this is where I stand on the issue and that won’t change.
