THE IMPLICATIONS OF "QUEER"

I have been catching up on the reading of my former (queer) professor and I am happy to find he has continued in being the queer pioneer he always was.

We are used, if we know anything about "queer", to the slogan "queer means attack". But what is it queer attacks? The essay I read suggests it is "identity". Yes, that's right, in a world chock full of people who want to make the (sometimes essentialising) claim that they simply "are" things, all kinds of queer people and theorists claim that "queer" is that which attacks the very notion of "identity" and destabilises the intellectual ground on which "identity" can seem convincing.

I am going to write a book next called "Sexual Autonomy". In brief, it is a book about how sexual autonomy is at the heart of political freedom and is, in fact, a necessary component of it. I think the queer insight I just mentioned here is part of that. For we cannot be free if we lock ourselves up in incarcerating notions about sex.

For example, some people think there are things called "gay sex" and "heterosexual sex". These exist based on the idea that there are definitive "men" and definitive "women". The intellectual position "queer" says no to this. It says these identifications are rhetoric not fact, fiction (which is and can be for purposes) and not inherent reality. Queer says knowledge, all knowledge, is a tool of power and made up to get somewhere rather than reflecting an idealistically conjured "reality". Nature does not distinguish between "gay sex" and "heterosexual sex". There is just sex. Nature does not distinguish between "man" and "woman". There are just humans. Nature does not distinguish between reproductive or recreational sex. There is just sex.

So what queer says here is "Ask yourself what people are doing with their words and why they imagine the world in one way and not another." There are not only two types of anything (and these two types are not opposites either). Queer, if it is anything, is (expanding) diversity. It (I hope) makes you think.

I suppose I should reintroduce myself.

I’m Ryan 💁✨ I’m #Neurodivergent (high intelligence/socially challenged), I #FigureSkate and exercise for fun, and live in a remote place. I’m also,

#Trans
#Nonbinary
#MTF
#Polyamorous
#Pansexual
#FunnyAF
#Compassionate
#SexPositive
#PowerBottom

I enjoy chili-dogs, nachos, and telling people to have the day they deserve 💅 The world is scary, but I can be too 💋

Transphobic people need not follow #Bye. I share what makes me happy, and it’s often 🏳️‍⚧️

I started wearing a beanie in all my videos, and completely eliminated one of the only insults I was regularly getting by #maga sheep, who usually just called me bald and told me to go get Rogaine or something.

They use the generic ones, calling me a beta, or calling me gay. Neither of which bothers me, as I have self confidence so the beta one doesn't work, and I am #pansexual so the gay one doesn't work.

I must be very good looking if they don't call me ugly!

I was a bit confused by the difference between #pansexual and #demisexual so I decided to actually look it up because I sorta use them interchangeably with myself.

Turns out that is entirely valid. I am BOTH.

Pansexual - Attracted to all genders, which indeed. I don't even care if you have one. I don't really care if I have one.

Demisexual - Attraction after emotional connection is formed. Also applies to me.

Today I learned you can have TWO sexualities.

So it's March again and given the onslaught of bad news politics wise for the year so far, #BisexualHealthAwarenessMonth is as relevant as ever. If you weren't aware:

Out of all the sub-identities in the #queer spectrum, #bi+ people face the worst mental and physical health outcomes, highest rates of experiencing sexual violence and worst economic outlooks.

If you're #bisexual, #pansexual, #polysexual, #omni or elsewhere on the #BiPlus spectrum: you're not alone, you're valid & take care 💖💜💙

🏳️‍🌈 Seeing a Pride Flag reminds me of the time Donald J. Trump held one upside down, alongside the harm caused by his recent policies targeting the LGBTQIA+ community.

His transphobic executive orders are a direct attack on the rights and existence of transgender and nonbinary people. LGBTQ rights are human rights, and it’s more important than ever to stand together in support. 💪🏽🏳️‍🌈
