Antis Trying to Reclaim RadQueer Discussion

mescaline-loli:

yeah the reactionary rejection of anything that goes against your normative core beliefs on the pretext of the greater societal good is the most radical thing possible if you guys weren’t aware
radicalism is when you flatly refuse to lift a finger to do anything even slightly different from your usual monotonous advocacy for the shit you have internalised in a desperate attempt to fit in

antis have a fascinating way of looking at things

radqueer-empire:

Ngl that edit was probably made cuz a few Radqueers liked the flag and decided to reblog it. Not our fault the flag looks Radqueer coded. Now the antis have to show that their “radically queer” isn’t actually radical lol

turntechnoncehead:

trying to say that the TERM radically queer is anti transid and anti c is fucking insane

thats like me trying to say the term zoosexuality is anti zeta movement

i can certainly make a FLAG that is for anti zeta movement zoosexuals [and i HAVE and one of my friends also did] but i cant just arbitrarily decide the word itself is anti zeta movement

Text from the screenshotted post:

“Radically Queer (not radqueer). The flag looks insane I know, very much a eyesore if you wanna change it go ahead lol (if you steal my flag sleep with one eye open).

Radically Queer is a term and flag representing radical queers that are against ableism, racism, transphobia, homophobia. And is reclaiming the term RadQueer/RadicallyQueer. The term RadicallyQueer/Radqueer misrepresents queer people who are radical because of the previous coining and meaning of radqueer. The reclaiming of this term is very much needed (in my opinion), and this is also being done out of spite.

Edit: This term is anti-trace, anti-transabled (as in everyone else other than BIID people), anti-transharmful, anti-ProContact, anti-ComplexContact, anti-NeutralContact. Thank you.”
