"Even as queer and trans Iranian asylum seekers and Afghan refugees who left Iran for Turkey do not fall under the same category according to the UNHCR’s criteria, they have something in common: they are economic refugees. Yet the UNHCR does not recognize economic marginalization as grounds for granting asylum. If it did, a large number of people in the world (including in the United States) who are affected by global capitalism’s economic violence (such as lack of access to universal health care in the United States) would be eligible for asylum."

I'm now reading Entangled Life: How Fungi Make Our Worlds, Change Our Minds & Shape our futures by Merlin Sheldrake.

I don't like it as much as I liked The Light Eaters or How to Change Your Mind, but for some reason, I really enjoyed the section on lichens, and not just for the following.

"Spiribille told me about a paper called 'Queer theory for lichesn.' ('It comes up as the first thing in Google when you enter "queer" and "lichen."') Its author argues that lichens are queer beings that present ways for humans to think beyond the rigid binary framework: The identity of lichens is a question rather than answer known in advance."

Although I can't access the full article, the abstract of this paper holds promise:

"I ask: if we have never been human – if we are all composites like lichens – then what does this mean for sexuality? I argue that lichens and other symbioses can open up a queer ecological perspective that can help counter the privileging of heteronormativity and sexual reproduction, and that this has consequences for both science and society. "

Growing up in a heteronormative world enough to cause deep-seated trauma in LGBTQ+ youth

* symptoms 2SLGBTQIA+ youth experience often mirror post-traumatic stress disorder

Comment: a friend in a 2SLGBTQIA+ group I belong to suggested this article/book.

"Russia is considering a "Ministry of Sex" amid its population crisis. As Russia shrinks, it says that child-free ideology is to blame. So Kremlin has banned "child-free propaganda" to try to boost birth rate. Will Russia’s bizarre ideas boost the population? Why are countries throwing money at the problem as their population shrinks?"—Firstpost

"If a young woman does not follow the social injunction to have feelings in a sexual relationship, she knows that she risks being called to order, being punished. Or to feel shame or guilt. This burden of the social norm is primarily internalised."

"There is, in all circles, the threatening 'spectre of the faggot'. The determination to appear as 'a man, a real man' and secure one's masculinity, while escaping suspicion of homosexuality, which is considered demeaning and dangerous. Some gay boys from privileged backgrounds have told me that they were in a relationship with a girl at school to give the impression, to cover their tracks."

#Aphobia may come even from the #LGBTQ+ community: There's this idea that #asexual and #aromantic people do not belong to the LGBTQ+. A common excuse is we're not "oppressed enough". 🤡

Here's the thing: ALL #aces and #aros violate #heteronormativity. No matter how you twist and turn it, it's impossible to be ace/aro AND fully comply with heteronormativity.

Excluding people who violate heteronormtivity is patently absurd.

I'm aro-ace, and therefore LGBTQIA+.

Margot Déage: "A girl who does not belong to a boy or a man can fall into the category of whore at any time, whatever her clothes or sexual practices."

Margot Déage: "Being in a position to say who’s a whore and who’s a good girl is a power in itself within the girls’ group, a power that is strongly mobilised by certain girls. The ones who can fall, in general, are the hardest on the matter."

Rough contact and impact peak around the age of seven. This is gradually replaced by peer monitoring in the years that follow.

Isabelle Clair: "Adolescence is a very normative age. At middle school, "there's a very tough relationship to what's the right thing to do".

Margot Déage: "Physical violence is much more prevalent in elementary/primary school, then decreases in middle school, and progressively through high school."

#newResearch on Daddy-Daughter Dances, and their role in heteronormativity and stigmatization. Explicitly gendered events such as these informally exclude people without heteronormative family structures. Thanks to Ezra Temko, Emily Love, Destiny Baxter, Adam Loesch & Heidi Masching for a great article.

Which sounds to me a lot like what #trans people go through with #heteronormativity when on other social media. Except there it's an omni present background hum and here it is what feels like shouts in my face.
"You are a minority and so don't ruin everyone's fun" is a thought i have and that thought sounds scarily like internalizing oppression. I am uncomfortable with that sounding like that because i don't like the implications of that at all.

as i said advice welcome.
