As a transbian, I'm illegal in several countries. So it's be crime, do gay for me
All according to keikaku.
keikaku means plan.
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...
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..
to more...
And even cishet people, with a certain "privilege", still also suffer due to this artificial segregation, because of:
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.
While stuff like that sucks it's not quite comparable to what trans people go through.
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.
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
miss being that naive, it was a more peaceful state of mind.
I found it wasnt more peaceful, i just coupdnt acknowledgr the distress or damage it was doing.
that's why I specified that it was a more peaceful state of mind, shit was will shit.
Its not peaceful though. Its like one if those scenes in 'apocalypse now' where the guy's on acid.
that why I mean by "mind", it's only peaceful in my head.
But you're the scene not the guy. Evety five minures yiu say 'oh gof how coukd this happen!?who could have known!?', it's like the opposite of being a level 10 bhuddist
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.
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.
considering pride stemmed from cops invading queer spaces and assaulting queer people...
A good idea would be to have them march alongside queer people. Let us know they’re always there ready to assault us.
At Belfast Pride a few years ago I saw someone holding a sign saying "be gay, eat soup."
Fellas, is it gay to eat borscht?
