Honored to be appointed Rat Czar by @ZohranKMamdani campaign. If we elect Zohran I will be in charge of rat stuff. First thing we will implement is shooting the rats.
Back in my day we correctly identified this stuff as gay minstrelsy driven by respectability politics– we can be shown on tv as long as we’re eunuchs
The only difference today is that this stuff is marketed directly to young queers with their own internalised fears + self hatred
“I want [a brown hanky] to mean garden party at my place on the right, fresh-brownies on the left.” Okay well too bad. It means you like shit from a butt. Sexually. And has for a very long time.
You can't tear us apart bc our oppression is inextricably linked via gender binary
Gay people discriminated against bc they devalue the binary
Trans people discriminated against bc they transgress the binary
Intersex people discriminated against bc they debunk the binary
And gay people, we're implicated here too
The false gender binary causes all queer people harm, but MOST of all intersex people
We must stand up for the most vulnerable in our communities, those whose voices are intentionally excluded (as we're seeing with the census)
Quayquay from PIP talks about police failing to keep queer people safe from right-wing extremists last year, and how the police responded to anti-police brutality rally by doing police brutality to the attendees
If we’re assuming Aus runs on a three year delay, to the rest of the world it’s time to start hitting the gym & taking that martial arts class you’ve been daydreaming about.
