Curse Null, the amazing trans woman who wrote the above reminder against collaboration, is now homeless. It desperately needs funds to extend a hotel stay while trying to seek more lasting housing, as well as for food and other essentials.
Curse's paypal is dimmekur at gmail. Anything helps.
I have no idea what this means, but it feels really inspiring so I'm reposting it
Explanation of the poster.
This poster believes that to be queer is to find joy and pride in flagrantly embodying one's whole queer self, in opposition to cultural demands to deny, downplay, and modify one's queer identity. It acknowledges that there is an amount of inherent risk and danger in being queer in public, and it also acknowledges that some queer people will try to navigate to safety through conformity and selling out other queer people in undescribed variety of ways. It is specifically referring to phenomenona like Blaire White and Buck Angel (prominent queer people that drive their careers through criticizing other queer people) as well as things like queer nazis, queer conservatives, and neoliberals. It may also be in reference to things like the wave of detransitioners who were briefly doing interviews all over conservative US news media, to decry the "trans agenda". The poster warns that selling out fellow queers will lead to a spiritual and social death, a death of one's queerness, a death of one's identity and a death of one's soul - you will become a token of a person.
Vocab:
Good Queer here in capital letters means: an assimilationist queer that strives to find a place in the mainstream above all else. By trying so hard to be One of the Good Ones, and appeal to the ppwers that be, they create categories of Bad Queers whether they mean to or not.
Collaboration here means something specific: the act of aligning with and supporting oppressive forces that harm queer people.
Understanding those two concepts is all you really need, as the rest of the text is essentially poetry.
