Queerfeminine Pride Flag

Queerfeminine or queerfemininity/queerfeminity: a term for queer fem individuals or queer femininity; an umbrella term for non-square feminities, non-straight femininity, non-dyadic femininity, non-binary femininity, and non-cis femininity (among other femininities that are "deviant" or "transviant").

Queerfem is synonymous to voidfem. Examples of queerfemininities: transfemininity, cisn'tfem, homofem (gay fem/lesbifem), bifem, panfeminine, interfem(inine), gender nonconforming feminity. Some may consider their femme identity as a queer feminity/femqueer.

hey. care to explain how trans women making forcefem jokes made trump win.

yess, thanks for asking. I said "people taking this at face value is the reason trump won", not "trans people making jokes are at fault" i might respond on the original post due to popular demand. its a sensitive and complex topic and I definitely dont intend to offend or be the expert, but to state what ive experienced as someone who likes to mediate. Of course this isnt the only factor of the election but a big one when it comes to the anti-queer backlash we have been wittnessing recently.

The joke you're referring to - i didnt know when I made the comment - was satire of a bad alt-right take, which kind of proves my point.

The gist of it though: I assumed it was a tongue-in-cheek joke, but a lot of people (who aren't familiar with the queer-feminist bubble) don't, and think this is an actual serious stance and it is a point of contention for them, because these are the only types of things that leak from that bubble into theirs, not actual issues. I've heard from a lot of uninvolved people that they think this is what trans activism is actually about and then refuse to look into the topic further because of it.

Phrasings like in this joke literally have been weaponized (thank alex jones et al.) and allow people to believe that according to queerfeminism, "men" are solely defined as irredeemable, patriarchal people who adhere to toxic masculinity, and that men/males who don't display that behaviour aren't actual men anymore but eggs or non-men or whatever (just as the alt-right would). The unclear distinction between gender roles, gender and sex and it's interchangeable use aren't helping at all. Im still not sure how many queer activists on this website actually believe this as well.

Remember, this is the piss on the poor website. How did the saying go about satire being indistinguishable from real opinions these days? Also how easy is it to take an online post out of context?

Never thought I'd be the peetah/nancy under a joke that satirized a bad take, but here I am, since you asked.

In the end my vision and intention is to bring people to be better allies to each other and I am open to criticism, because who am I? Just another person on the internet. The time for community building and making as many friends as possible is now.

Stay strong, stay safe!

Intersectional feminism might be the keyword you are looking for? or maybe queerfeminism? (i think i have heard the second one more in german than in english)

*grabbing young queer people by the shoulders* listen to me. radical feminism is inherently transphobic. you cannot rehabilitate it or reclaim it or make it trans inclusive, I don't care what the people on twitter who claim to be authorities on queerness say. the foundation of radical feminism is nothing but bio and gender essentialism and biphobia and aphobia and anti-kink rhetoric and intersexism and yes, misogyny. it does not offer a future, not for bi people, aroace people, sex workers, not for kinksters, or intersex people, cis women, or trans people regardless of gender and you should care about those people. it will never result in queer liberation because it is an ideology of exclusion and hatred. you gain nothing by buying into the idea that half the population is evil by birth or by transition. you gain nothing by acting like women are perpetual victims who can't think for themselves and are tainted by their association with men. being a man or being attracted to them is not a sin. if we truly want to stand a chance of dismantling the patriarchy we actually NEED men on our side especially marginalized men. they are our allies.

the problem with terfs is not just transphobia, it never was, the radical feminism is also so unbelievably harmful. you cannot save it and it will not save you, stop drawing lines between queer people and join hands with them instead. remove people who are actually harmful, not innocent people who happen to have the wrong sexuality or gender or job. we get there together or we don't get there at all. we need each other now more than ever. do not listen to those who seek to divide us even if they are queer. we all deserve so much better than the hell radical feminism pretends is a liberated future.

I do not blame anyone who fell prey to this rhetoric, I know it feels good to have a common enemy and lash out at those you think are siding with them however they do it, but men, especially marginalized men, are not your enemies. and it's never too late to realize that and change for the better.

How does the 🦠 treat you? III - Developing a toxic relationship to you phone? - Since the whole pandemic started, I spent an insane amount of time on my phone and other electronic devises. Some days I got real headaches, couldn’t sleep or my eyes and neck were hurting. You may ask me or yourself, why not “just stop?”, but it isn’t as simple as it seems. Social media, dating apps, streaming platforms, etc. are designed to basically trigger an addiction by getting attached to it. The constant visual stimulation, can really mess with your self esteem, if you start comparing your body and “overall success” with others who dedicate their whole life to working out, earning money (to become wealthy), etc. Also the attention and validation you can get from compliments of strangers, can lead to a desperate need of it. Streaming series are a welcomed escape from current reality of a global pandemic and the lockdown. Try to be aware of those dangers and please get help if you or the people who surround you struggle with mental health conditions! Always remember: you are not alone 🖤 . . . . . #gender #binary #queerrevolution #genderisover #nonbinary #nonbinarypals #queer #female #male #lgbtq #datingapps #grindr #tinder #okcupid #planetromeo #mentalhealth #addiction #queerfeminism #potd #thoughtoftheday #queeridentity https://www.instagram.com/p/CBQrXCGFCu-/?igshid=1tthjrvrhovy8

Αφροδίτη* / Η μαγεία της*, το έργο της*, η επιθυμία της*, η δύναμη της*, η φροντίδα της*   21-23 Ιουνίου Κινηματογραφικές προβολές, 16 - 23 Ιουνίου Εργαστήρια και Παρουσιάσεις      

Στα πλαίσια του Φεστιβάλ Αθηνών και Επιδαύρου 2019                              Στο πλαίσιο της αυξανόμενης συντηρητικοποίησης της ελληνικής κοινωνίας που θέτει στο περιθώριο κάθε έκφανση της διαφορετικότητας (έμφυλης, φυλετικής, σεξουαλικής, κ.ά.), η ανάγκη του πολυφωνικού εγχειρήματος Αφροδίτη* γίνεται πιο επιτακτική από ποτέ. Το Αφροδίτη* επιχειρεί μέσα από προβολές ταινιών και τη διεξαγωγή εργαστηρίων και συζητήσεων να ενισχύσει τη δράση και την ορατότητα κουίρ φεμινιστικών πρακτικών και συλλογικοτήτων, προκειμένου να ισχυροποιήσει τις φωνές απέναντι στην κουλτούρα του σεξισμού και του κοινωνικού ρατσισμού.

Πιο αναλυτικά, οι προβολές ταινιών από το Κουίρ Φεστιβάλ Pembe Hayat της Άγκυρας, από τη φεμινιστική συλλογή της Cinenova στο Λονδίνο και από το Φεστιβάλ Trans*Formations του Βερολίνου, που διοργανώνεται από μια ομάδα People of Color* τρανς και άλλων ατόμων που δεν συμμορφώνονται με το φύλο τους (gender non-conforming), μας προ(σ)καλούν να συζητήσουμε, μεταξύ άλλων, για τον αντιρατσισμό και τη μετα-αποικιοκρατική συνθήκη, την επιθυμία και τη σεξουαλικότητα, καθώς και για την καλλιτεχνική και ακτιβιστική δράση κουίρ φεμινιστικών ομάδων. Τα εργαστήρια Gender Panic Inc Queer MagiK Sigil, της συλλογικότητας Gender Panic, και το Visibly invisible της Adeola Naomi Aderemi από τη συλλογικότητα Distinguished Diva εστιάζουν στις επιτελεστικές πρακτικές της φροντίδας και στον κουίρ μαγικό συμβολισμό. Η ομάδα Πολιτικά Χοντρέλες συζητά το θέμα του πάχους ως βίωμα και ως πολιτικ�� ταυτότητα, ενώ το εργαστήριο Queer(s´) Talk(s) πραγματεύεται την ποιητική της/των (κουίρ) γλώσσας/γλωσσών και τη σχέση μεταξύ γλώσσας, συν-αισθήματος (affect) και τρανς* σωμάτων. Το εργαστήριο Slut Pride θέτει στο επίκεντρο την κουλτούρα του σεξισμού και ζητήματα δικαιοσύνης αναφορικά με αυτή, καθώς επίσης επεξεργάζεται τρόπους για τη φροντίδα, την αυτοπροστασία και την ενδυνάμωση των θηλυκοτήτων*. Τέλος, το επιτελεστικό εργαστήριο Gender troubles in (art) education συζητά την κυριαρχική ανα-παραγωγή έμφυλων στερεοτύπων εντός των θεσμικών δομών της (καλλιτεχνικής) εκπαίδευσης και διερευνά τις εμπειρίες και τις αντιστάσεις των κουίρ φεμινιστικών δημιουργικών υποκειμένων. Τέλος, η ομάδα Queering Psychoanalysis (QP) συζητά θέματα που αφορούν στην πολιτική του φύλου και τα ζητήματα κοινωνικής αντίληψης, σε μια προσπάθεια επαναξιολόγησης της ψυχαναλυτικής θεωρίας έτσι ώστε να αφορά την κουίρ κοινότητα.

Aphrodite* / her* magic, her* work, her* desire, her* power, her* care     

21-23 June – Film screenings, 16–23 June – Workshops and events              

As part of the Athens and Epidaurus Festival 2019                                           

Within the context of a growing conservatism of Greek society, that places each aspect of diversity (gender, race, sexuality etc.) at the margins, the Aphrodite* polyphonic project acquires an obvious impact and urgency. The Aphrodite* project, including film screenings, workshops and discussions, seeks to reinforce the action and visibility of queer feminist practices and collectives, in order to strengthen their voices against the culture of sexism and social racism.

In detail, the films by the Pembe Hayat Queer Festival in Ankara, the Cinenova feminist collection in London and the Trans*Formations Festival in Berlin, organized by trans People of Color* and other gender non-conforming people, provoke us to discuss anti-racism and post-colonialism, desire and sexuality, along with art and activist practices of queer feminist groups.The workshops Gender Panic Inc Queer MagiK Sigil, introduced by the Gender Panic Collective, and Visibly Invisible by Adeola Naomi Aderemi, founder of Distinguished Diva, focus on performative practices of care and queer magic symbolism. The feminine group Political Fatties discusses fatness as an embodied experience as well as a political identity, while the Queer(s') Talk(s) workshop approaches the poetics of (queer) language(s) and the relationship between language, affect and trans* bodies. The Slut Pride workshop critiques the culture of sexism and proposes transformative justice for processing ways of caring, self-defence and female* empowerment. Finally, the workshop Gender troubles in (art) education contests the dominant reproduction of gender stereotypes within the institutional structures of art education and explores the experiences and resistances of queer feminist creative subjects. Last but not least, the Queering Psychoanalysis group (QP) discusses issues related to the politics of gender and social perceptions in an attempt to re-evaluate psychoanalytic theory in order to make it relevant for the queer community.

Curators: Sofia Bempeza, Sofia Dona, Persephone Kerentzi, Vassiliea Stylianidou, Athens Museum of Queer Arts (Maria F. Dolores, Johnny Pavlatos, Holly Ιngleton, Alex Buschky), Beaver.

Guest co-curators: Cinenova (London), Pembe Hayat Kuirfest Ankara, TransFormations – Trans* Film Festival Berlin, Ntiana Manesi & Phryne Konti, Adeola Naomi Aderemi.

you know im really glad i grew my view on the world with tumblr bc truly mates without all your meme and honest shitpost/nightblogging and all the openess of everyone’s personality and life aspect i dont think my social deconstruction would have been that smooth

cis people: *get plastic surgery to look different*

cis people: *get surgery to enlarge their breasts*

cis people: *get surgery to enlarge their ass*

cis people: *get liposuction to make them skinnier*

trans people: hey could i get top surgery so i can be comfortable with my body?

cis people: BUT WHY?! YOU’RE BEAUTIFUL THE WAY YOU ARE, YOU DON’T NEED TO MUTILATE YOURSELF TO BE HAPPY! this is just a waste of money! You could regret this later on and feel like a stranger in your own body!

Thank you @olivermeth for setting up today’s interview. I sat down and had an in-depth discussion with a Swedish Journalist, Gunnar Wesslen, Foreign Editor of the Swedish Daily Dagens ETC. We spoke on the state of gender based violence in SA and we touched on aspects of the continents challenges. We also went into understanding where the Queer movement is at and what needs to be done! We unpacked the layers to being a feminist in africa, our challenges, our threats and how we live! The conversation was harsh and brutally honest. GBV is not a campaign but a crisis! Look out for the link to the article! Aluta continua!! #endgbv #myactivism #queerfeminism https://www.instagram.com/p/B7v6rkfAwbp/?igshid=135sye80adex1
