I’m starting to notice that when white trans people talk about decolonizing transgender they mostly talk about the many pre-colonial genders that once existed, describing them in a fascinated-but-unemotional anthropological style and engaging very little with the modern reality of trans people of color aroound the world. Whereas when trans people of color talk about … Continue reading

The Antifas

May 29, 2017 by queeranarchism

Things antifas do: Punch nazis. Counterprotest nazis. Block routes where nazis plan to appear. Guard demonstrations and speeches where nazis are expected to appear (yes, even the liberal, pacifist, centre-left ones. If nazis are expected to target a demonstration, antifascists will probably be standing guard. They’ve done so on many more times than you will … Continue reading The Antifas

“Aphobia isn’t as bad as…” SHUT. UP.

May 19, 2017 by queeranarchism

Experiences of oppression shouldn’t have to measure up to other experiences to matter. There isn’t a bar you have to meet before your experiences are real. As a white adult with a job and a home living in a progressive place my experiences with transphobia and homophobia do not in any way measure up to … Continue reading “Aphobia isn’t as bad as…” SHUT. UP.

This week I had a lovely conversation with an older dyke who reminded me how much a lot of people have always hated TERFs and SWERFs. She was talking about the time in the 1970s and 1980s when she was a young radical dyke and how many of the awesome dykes in the radical scene … Continue reading

Safe sexual spaces & queer youth

April 9, 2017 by queeranarchism

“Why are these queer spaces so sexual? We need places for queer youth like bookclubs.” Hold up a sec. Who says all queer youths want that? Who says all queer youths need that? You know what a lot of young queer kids have? Sexual feelings and desires. And you know what helps them give those … Continue reading Safe sexual spaces & queer youth

The safe space is dead, long live the safe space

March 20, 2017 by queeranarchism

Many people have in the past pointed out that no safe space that depends on the exclusion of people with privilege is safe. Part of the criticism has focussed on the way building a woman-only space or POC-only space or queer-only space forces people to either identify with that label or reject it completely, forcing … Continue reading The safe space is dead, long live the safe space

TERFs, Biphobes and Acephobes

February 12, 2017 by queeranarchism

Although they differ in levels of intensity (TERFS being more organized with more or a long history of violence) when you look at their theories and behavior TERFs, biphobes and acephobes have a lot in common. “I face all the oppression ever”. They all have a very simplistic image of how oppression based on gender … Continue reading TERFs, Biphobes and Acephobes
