Kannst du unserem queeren Jugendtreff beim CSD Ausflug aushelfen? 🌈

🫵🏾 Komm zum nächsten Rems-Queer-Kreis Orga Treffen am Mittwoch, den 16.04.2025 ab 17:35 Uhr. Wir treffen uns in der Backnanger Innenstadt (Adresse auf Anfrage). Zusammen diskutieren wir unter anderem über unsere Gruppentreffen im Frühjahr und Ausflüge wie einen Besuch beim CSD Schwäbisch Hall und der trans Pride Stuttgart.

🌈 Denn der Rems-Queer-Kreis lebt von uns Queers, die sich selbst das Programm schaffen, das es sonst nicht geben würde. Wir laden alle queeren Jugendlichen mit Interesse an an unserem Angebot zum offenen Orga Treffen ein. Bring ein, was dir an Angeboten für queere Jugendliche fehlt, unterstütze uns bei der Planung unserer nächsten Treffen ein oder schnupper in unsere Social Media Arbeit herein.

👥 Wir freuen uns auf dich egal ob mit oder ohne Vorerfahrung!

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.
