    I thought it was a reminder that queerness does not fit into prescriptive models. That it is inherently experimental and weird, and outsidery, and will always be proscribed by those who want control.

    So keeping uo your anarchist calisthenics will in meaningful ways make you better at queer fucking.

    Oh god I had a lengthy discussion about this with a neolib who thought all that was needed to gain civil and human rights was to simply vote

    Real answer coming. The poster in the pic is ignorant; but at least they asked in good-ish faith, so I ain’t judging.

    Being queer (ie. anything other than straight and/or feeling the same gender as how you were born) is a crime in many countries.

    From things like…

    • not being able to donate blood if you’re gay
    • not being able to adopt only because the government wants to know if you don’t have the same genitals
    • being prohibited from pissing just because some idiots think toilets should be segregated ("separate but ‘equal’ " shit, much?).
    • child genital mutilation of intersex people (this also happens to cishet women and men!)

    to more…

    • being stigmatised and punished (fines, imprisonment or even death penalty) if you talk about (very much real) queer issues
    • bullying, harassment, physical and verbal attacks, mob attacks, misnaming and -referring
    • not being allowed to have sex together because the government is poking its ugly eye into what you do in your bedroom
    • no medication or surgery allowed which saves your life and health (vaginoplasty, a womb transplant, HRT, penile transplantation, etc…)
    • being forced to change who you are (eg conversion torture), often through cruelty and indoctrination.

    And even cishet people, with a certain “privilege”, still also suffer due to this artificial segregation, because of:

    • not being able to get medication as easily due to gatekeeping
    • abortion being limited or prohibited, and so your rights get eroded; the man controls your life. A rapist’s cells then have more rights than you!
    • men’s mental health issues not being talked about because some idiots find that “sissy” even though it’s very important for your health. This leads to increased suicides.
    • exclusion from competitions simply because of your genitals being somehow relevant (they aren’t and shouldn’t be!).
    • segregated general institutions (bathrooms, schools, etc)… I attended a school without any of these and I can tell you, it’s much better than anything, as people from ‘both’ sides learn to understand each other better.
    • cramped, hateful, ignorant responses to very real issues from police, media, and society – leading to the issues getting ignored, or worse.

    Frankly, we’d all be more relaxed with it all, if we just put a shovel up bigots’ arses, and called them pussies/hags/fools for not caring about everyone. Free speech especially means free speech for the repressed queers and allies!

      exclusion from competitions

      This affects any gender or orientation. When I was a boy I wanted to play netball because my big sister played that. But that’s a girls game. Had she wanted to play basketball she would have gotten similar rejection.

        Yup, hence why I said also (ie. both cishet and queer people suffer under this exclusion).

        That said, as another commentor already pointed out, the consequences are often a lot worse for trans people. But the fact is that this is a stupid gatekeep for all of us, and so it needs to be broken down.

          Indeed, notably the newsworthy bad stuff coming from the US recently. Trans was hardly recognised when my story is set, and my real point was “it’s not just trans people, it’s not just one gender”

      In summary, when being yourself is quite literally illegal, there’s nothing else to lose by wanting to improve your life a little bit while spitting back at the opressive institutions that made you illegal in the first place.

        So the victim gets to have her life screwed up for the next three quarters of a year just to bring to birth a collection of non sentient cells? Do you realise how monstrous your position is? Have you ever thought about it beyond listening to the indoctrinator who told you that was the moral position?

        You seem to also think counseling would be sufficient, so do you actually think the victim of crime should also be obliged to raise a set of non sentient cells they didn’t want to give birth to or be in charge of, or afford, to adulthood?

    obvs a joke, but to answer the question anyway:

    If we are to be deemed illigal anyways, might as well have some fun with it…

    Direct action involved in fighting for your rights usually involves breaking a law or two

    This is natural. The State criminalizes those who resist it. But resistance is necessary when your existence is debated.

      A good idea would be to have them march alongside queer people. Let us know they’re always there ready to assault us.
