I ain't the religious type, but I can't really trust anarchists who are anti-religion.

0 Upvotes

A lot of it is based on a fundamental misunderstanding of what religion is, along with the tech bro christian atheist type of Science worship.

edit:

I am far from an expert on the topic but:

The mythology we have built around things such as multiverses in fiction is religion. Religion does not have to be believed or seen as entirely literal.

It is a collection of actions that includes things like humanizing elements of our society/environment so that we can understand things in terms of social human actions so that we can transfer and remember that knowledge more easily. Yall see gravity as dominant over you in the same way the greeks saw the god of the four winds "dominant" over them. (To my understanding they didn't even have separate names for the wind itself and the god that represented it)

edit 2:

anways, if yall want a space where leftists don't immediately rage at you saying "mother earth" instead of nature, i got stuff pinned on my profile

Self-diagnosis of things like being trans or autistic are not only valid, they are essential to our communities

0 Upvotes

Hierarchy involves one social class defining what another social class is. The entire point of the diagnosis is to maintain hierarchy, to maintain these social groups as something that only exists through the perception of cis people, allistic people, etc. To break hierarchy we must define and identify ourselves. We exist outside their perceptions of us, if everything we are must be described through their experiences then we will lose so much understanding and control over ourselves.

Doctors can't peer into your head and tell you how you feel, they can’t see what identities you feel like explain your experiences. They just tend to know a lot, and can check if your descriptions match up to what other people say, and if they experience you the same way they experience other members of the community. That can be useful information for many, but we cannot let their experiences define ours.

edit:

for communities that are not just inclusive of disabled people, but mainly made out of us, check the post pinned on my account

saying that homophobes must be "secretly gay and trying to repress it" is homophobic itself

124 Upvotes

It is victim blaming, we are not the reason homophobia exists or that people become extremely homophobic. It is not oppressed people that cause their own oppression, we don’t in some way “deserve” it.

Some aspects of the identity of sexuality may be related to physical and things we cannot control, but at the end of the day it is an identity. If they do not see themselves as gay, they are not. It is not for you to assign an identity to someone, even someone you don’t like. Even if someone might identify as gay outside of these power structures, in here they aren’t. Even if they would be gay, they participate in our oppression because being straight is beneficial to them, not because they “are secretly gay”.

If they did homophobia because they were “ashamed” it wouldn’t be helping so many of them get into positions of power, and if it is done for power the chance of them even having these aspects we sometimes associate with ourselves is random chance at best
