Queerization manifesto:
Why Queerization?
Queerization unifies different struggles
In Queerization we meet & support each other, celebrate together & fight the CIS-tem!
Queerization strikes against pinkwashing & financial inequality
Queerization does not tolerate exploitation of queer rights to justify racism & islamophobia
Queerization wants for us radical self determination & rights to our bodies & lives
Queerization makes visible everything that today’s Pride has forgotten
Queerization occupies space
Queerization is revolution
Queerization invites everyone to participate in making a better future here and now!
Queer rights will not be exploited for the benefit of racist politics
Queerization opposes Fortress Europe and the enforcing of its border policies that leads to thousands of deaths on the Mediterranean. We do not approve of politics where humans are put in different hierarchical positions according to the color of their skin, their religion or birthplace.
We will not have ourselves used as an excuse to promote nationalism. Queer rights are being hijacked to back a propaganda project that paints a picture of homophobic immigrants. Meanwhile, queers who have fled their home countries are not granted asylum in Finland. Our relationships, including those of immigrant queers, do not fit the heteronormative family model that is the prerequisite of citizenship. Queer has no borders.
We want radical self determination
Medical trans examinations should be given up! The trans experience is none of the state’s or medical authorities’ business. Everyone should be able to determine their own gender by announcement. But why do we need an official gender? Juridical gender, name changes & modification of one’s body should not be governed by the state. We want radical self determination over our bodies!
Queer = conflict
Queer challenges the norms in society – and in our own communities. It’s not just one more identity, but a way of thinking and acting that constantly dismantles power hierarchies & privileges.
Queer is in conflict with everything normative that crushes our spirit, makes us hate ourselves, makes our lives look worthless and less real. Queer does not measure the value of life according to the logic of productivity. Queer shakes the certainty with which we estimate the capability of our bodies, the bodies of others and what they can be. We are not victims of the system! We have a right to revolt!
Long live anarchy ♥ Down with heteronormativity, down with cis-sexism! :)
