This subreddit is a space to discuss anti-assimilationist queer issues and radical perspectives gender, sexuality, and intersectionality of oppression. If you feel content is too radical or challenging to be received well on other queer subreddits, this is the place for you!


Posting Guidelines:

  • Do not post content or comments that are sexist, racist, transphobic, queerphobic, transmisogynistc, ableist, classist, ageist, or otherwise perpetuate or perpetrate oppression. Such comments are subject to removal, and repeat offenders are subject to banning.

  • Please refrain from interacting in a condescending or personally belittling way. As queer people in the struggle, we must struggle with one another. This means struggling with patience, kindness, and understanding, and not acting out the internalized violence that oppressed people deal with on one another. If you feel that a comment has violated the previous guideline, please report it.

  • Please use trigger warnings and content warnings where appropriate.

  • To prevent our space from devolving into a shallow circlejerk, please refrain from posting things just to generate delicious karma. We get it; there are bigger fish out there than marriage, HRC is the face of glitter-industrial complex, Dan Savage is transphobic. The ideal post is thought-provoking and prompts engagement and exploration.

Queer Marxist stuff

What are some good places to start with queer Marxist theory? I’m kinda well read on anarchist queer stuff but need to look into queer Marxist theory or history.

INVITATION: We Built a Network Of Three Inclusive Reddit Safe Spaces For Women And Gender Variant People

Me and my pals built together three mostly Safe For Work, mixed and inclusive subreddit communities for everything centered on adult women and gender variant people after our totally private and inclusive group chat room grew so big that we had to build a subreddit community.

We currently have more than 1100 member users in our older subreddit community called r/GalsAndPals that we built because of popular demand as a mostly Safe For Work and inclusive subreddit community for everything centered on ADULT people who at least partly somehow identify with unconventional womanhood.

We currently also have more than 50 member users in our younger subreddit community called r/DollsAndPals that we are also building because of popular demand as a mostly Safe For Work and inclusive subreddit community for everything centered on ADULT people who at least partly somehow identify with conventional womanhood.

We also currently have more than 190 member users in our subreddit community called r/GuysAndPals that we are also building because of popular demand as a mostly Safe For Work and inclusive subreddit community for everything centered on ADULT people who at least partly somehow identify with unconventional manhood.

We do have some basic respect safety guideline expectations written in the rules page section of our subreddit communities to help sustain the health of our groups as inclusive safer spaces free of judgement and harm that you should read.

We are inclusive of transy, transbianish, transfeminine, transandrogynous, transmasculine, detrans, retrans, genderfluid, and genderqueer adult people.

Our subreddits are currently temporarily somewhat restricted for being in an experimental early development stage until becoming more accessible, public and welcoming after a time when we are more prepared enough to deal with more diverse types of visitors having access to our place.

If you may be feeling interested in joining, just drop a comment here below or send a moderator mail message to have access to one or all of our subreddits or if you want support to create another group.

We are always open to answering questions and clearing doubts.

Chants against cops at pride?

Any catchy chants that express your distaste towards cops pretending to be part/ supportive of the community?

Queer Communist Game Jam 2024

Dear comrades, we give you a sincere salutation and welcome to the first edition of the Queer Communist Game Jam, organized from CUBA to the WORLD. We invite all independent video game developers to collaborate with the intention of elaborating an almost non-existent record/archive of this kind; communist queer-themed games. We want to give visibility to those minorities and people hidden in their caves that could feel identified with a space like this. We will embrace and support you in every way our society allows us to. The Game Jam will be available from June 28^(th) (International LGBT Pride Day) until November 7^(th) (Great October Socialist Revolution).

JOIN US: QUEER COMMUNIST GAME JAM 2024

It's just patriarchal logic

Both terfs and transmeds just reproduce heteropatriarchy because defining womanhood on the basis of biological functions and features is exactly what patriarchy and heterosexism do

Gender Abolition Should be the goal of the trans-movement

Trans People face violence because they reject the gender class they were Assigned making Them inherently subversive to the gender class system. Meaning that true liberation for trans people requires the abolition of gender as a class system Meaning that we have Actively fight the gendering of our bodies And expressions The trans movement has already rejected the gendering of Bodies and expressions And I also believe it's time that our allies do the same I am not saying abandoning what you identify as I'm saying deconstruct it Vocally to the people around you unless It's unsafe for you

Gender abolition will never happen unless we have a mainstream gender deconstruction movement Lasting generations

Since I started carrying mace and a taser, I can finally use public restrooms again in peace.

I am trans masc and intersex. People are never sure if I’m a trans man, trans woman, a gay man, a gay woman, “grrr woke blue haired SJW I’m totally not sexually fixated on”, or a teenager. And I never know how I’m being perceived either.

It’s led to quite a few scary situations and more than a couple of confrontations.

I live in Shitsville, Georgia — a notoriously conservative exurb of Atlanta.

We have Nazi gangs active here in the northern part of the state, and the KKK still runs many smalltowns down in the southernmost part.

The nearer to Florida or Tennessee, the worse.

I skip most public bathrooms as a trans person in 2024. The rest I’ve had my partner escort me to the door

I’ve been followed and creeped on in public places.

So. Having a strap in my current household would not be safe. I’d be a damn idiot for it.

But the one thing I could justify here were less-lethal weapons.

What I am now concealed-carrying is a relatively high-voltage taser. And ofc some scouting mace for good measure.

I have been practicing the use of both outside. Closest I can get to training.

Now I have no problem using the restroom with confidence.

And you can too!

Why are so many self-described socialists completely willing to compromise on (if not outrightly hostile to) social issues?

Forgive my tone if it sounds uncouth — I’m neurodivergent and really asking.

Does this not seem a glaring omission to leave social and sexual inequality/labor out?

Because to me, class reductionism at least LOOKS LIKE leaving out a whole half of the equation to make the wrong answer work — that is: to stay within one’s own biases.

Am I wrong? Or nah? Surely, the self styled “traditionalist” communists (for instance) are not all simply edgy and young?

I’m not trying to start beef or be snarky, I’m seriously really asking, mods.

What’s going on with apologia for even extremely misogynist RIGHT authoritarians i.e. Putin?

I have my suspicions about what’s going on both internally and in the lives of those which I described.

Queer liberation vs assimilation

Malcolm X was right, it's easier to keep under the thumb the groups who are oppressed when they assimilate and try to buy into the system created by their oppressors rather than opt out and refuse to play by their rules. We settle for crumbs cishets will give us from their tabletop rather than fight and take what is ours, we play by their rules hoping they will give us what we want but it will always be when they want to give it to us and how much they allow us to have. The problem is too many of us forget we rioted in Compton Cafeteria, Stonewall to get what we wanted, when we protested during the HIV/AIDS epidemic no one cared. We don't get anywhere that way.

Feel like I’m going crazy in r/AskGayBros

The amount of people regurgitating Zionist and colonialist propaganda there is insane. There’s just open racism and imperialist attitudes there and any time you call someone out for pinkwashing a literal genocide, you get downvoting to hell with people saying “You know they want to kill your right?”

Goddam I hate being a queer Jew rn. So fucking isolating…
