TENREC+
(poorly explained under the cut!)

TENREC+ is a movement started within the radqueer & adjacent community to unify, organize, & help educate people of similar transIDs!

These transIDs are but not limited to;

transrace, transethnicity, transnationality, translanguage, transculte, & anything similar!

Why?

Because the transID community right now is largely divided & unorganized in a way to foster any bigger community & I think it comes at a detriment to the discussions & work we could be having/doing.

I hope with this umbrella label we can:

• become closer as a community (allies included)
• become more educated on these topics (even members in the community)
• facillitate more healthy discussions around this topic
• unify as a group of similar individuals under the wider community to share our similar experiences & fight for one another
• make it easier for people to understand us
• help erase a lot of the misinformation & uneducated rhetoric passing around our community spaces
• Help push for wider acceptance

and more!:)

BESIDES being a term we can all unify under, what does this movement push for?

This movement pushes for more education & “wokeness” in TENREC+ spaces.

Right now it is common place to go onto any one of these tags & see someone acting in a way that is ignorant & somtimes even harmful out of pure ignorance – & it gives us a bad look as a community.

If you wanna be any one of these transIDs you cannot run into wider discussions around different cultures, languages, race in general, etc like a bull in a china shop! You need to be educated on these things.

And a lot of us are! But this movement pushes for a more woke & educated approach to engaging in these communities.

(mainly actually understanding race theory but other stuff too ykyk?)

This movement is largely centred around looking at all the conversations today with colourism, racism, texturism, xenophobia, etc, reading & understanding the theory on that, and then applying it to our communities & how we go about existing in them & advocating for them!

We do belong in this sphere, but having the right to be here doesn’t mean we don’t have to educate ourselves & put in the work to advocate for ourselves and others!

This movement not only is to unify us as similar people under one subgroup, but also to unify us with people in the larger groups of this cis or trans.

We don’t want to work alone remaking for example race theory but include us – we want to work off of what is already there & create new theory & discussion to push for the acceptance of TENREC+ people, & cisID folk..

We are a community all together, and not just the trans ones.

I hope this makes sense?

I may be , having delusions of grandeur here. But I have beautiful dreams for our communities.

Unity for us as a subgroup & us as a larger group – all culminating in genuine activism & research & literature & theory being made & discussed around these topics. That is what TENREC+ standa for.

Why the term TENREC plus?

Originally coined on the soon to be privated @transrace-central , when an alter posted “what would you call the overarching label for these very similar groups?”

There were a few terms floated, Trans – narionality, race, ethnicity (translanguage frivolously forgotten by accident) – making different acronyms likes T-CREN or T-RENC.

Morally-yikes-ig replied with “transgenus is similar!” which – it is! But not quite what was being looked for + acronyms are fun.

That is when verymanyrats reblogged with a photo of a species named TENREC & said “name it TENREC” which was enjoyed for the whimsy.

Now; the term is TENREC+ – because there are letters missing of the acronym that was made from fun & whimsy for the joy of it all.

Anyways! Hope any of this made sense! I am bad at explaining things when I am in head spaces like this and I really want it to be open ended enough for community folk to add of of course! uhmm and yea sorry

i hope nobody was offended by the, “get woker” stance of the. post. i just think we all need to get woker.

And this movement only has this so far, I am sure more will be added on with the wind or something but really I want it to be bare bones yk? Like no contact stances or something because this is a movement not a dni list idk.. But yea! I hope any of this made sense lmk what everyone thinks.”
