!I'm not a radqueer, I have a neutral opinion on radqueers and I personally identify as a weirdqueer!
For context, a TransID is identifying as, wanting to change/transition into, or believing you're suppose to be [something].
Transgender is technically a transid but alot of people separate the two since transids are way more controversial and niche.
-----------------------
The reason they're controversial is mostly because of the Big 3 Transids. TransAge, TransRace and TransSpecies (I think that's the Big 3)
TransAge is being a different age than what you are (your physical age is called a chronoage) and people don't like it because SOME 'transage' people, or people pretending to be transage, use OtY as an excuse to date minors. (OtY means transitioning from an older age to a younger age) and that is of course, bad.
However, in defence of transminors (OtY) most of them are genuinely transage and aren't using it as a harmful excuse to date kids.
TransRace is being a different face than what you are, often called RCTA (race change to another). It's controversial because some 'transrace' people only identify with other races to fetishize those races and to appropriate culture. People who genuinely identify as transrace usually do so for other reasons, like being mixed, feeling euphoric from different skin colours, or feeling a strong connection to cultures they arent apart of. People who fetishize races are usually shunned from RCTA communities.
TransSpecies is being a different species than what you are. Most common with animalkins, therians, nonhumans, and alterhumans in general. Some people argue that transpecies is an excuse to date animals, however many people are actually transpecies and aren't contact zoophiles.
Other transids, like transintersex or transabled, are also argued against by saying they fetishize and encroach on cis spaces. (cis spaces are people who are these things, and don't have it transition into them)
Feel free to ask what my transids are! I might forget some of them though

are you a radqueer
No, I'm not a radqueer. There are invalid identities and invalid reasons to identify as something.

the reason these are controversial is because they aren't a thing.
you CAN be transgender, because gender is a social concept. you CAN be transsexual, because we have the resources to accommodate that and it's something that animals do in nature.
race is not a social concept. doesn't change.
age is not a social concept. only gets older.
you can be an age regressor, but you can't transition to be a kid.
species aren't a social concept. doesn't change.
you can be a therian and identify as an animal or whatever, but you can't transition into an animal. it isn't possible.
the radqueer community is SO harmful to the queer community. it's harmful to everything it claims to accept. being transID is inherently harmful. transitioning to be intersex when you're perisex IS harmful to the intersex community, because it's taking their lived experience and masquerading as it. a perisex person, trans or not, will never understand what an intersex person has gone through. a white person will never understand what a poc has gone through. have you seen the shit radqueers accept? i've seen hundreds of transabusers. people who claim they've transitioned to be abusers. it's awful. i've seen "cisharmful". the radqueer community is FULL TO THE BRIM of pedophiles and there's simply no way around that.
like, i've just searched # radqueer on tumblr, and the first ten posts are ALL promoting and fetishizing r.pe and s/a. 99% of the radqueer community is made up of people who want that, who think that's a good thing genuinely. the 1% are people who think that community is just really welcoming to the stuff the queer community isn't sure about yet, like lesboys or nonbinary lesbians, etc.
i get that you're young and you want to be accepting of things but you gotta understand you can't and SHOULDN'T accept everything. once you start letting things slide, it gets out of hand. there has to be a line somewhere.
this is in no way an attack on you but i think it's really really important that you connect with the queer community and hear what they have to say about this. i love the broad queer community - i love microlabels and xenogenders and fictionkin and therians and all the other shit we've got - but i draw the line at racists and pedophiles, because they are not and never will be part of the queer community. i hope this makes sense to you and i really hope you consider it ! i know it's never nice being told something that goes against your beliefs but it's important that we hear each other. i know you might think the same about me, but believe me, i have heard the radqueer community, and i can't stand it.
Thank you for responding! <3
The race thing, I'm not transrace, so it's got the same arguments as the other transIDs.
Transage, time is a concept of human perception, so so is the passing of age. I'm transage (im not being a kid, I'm being older) and I understand I can't literally transition into being older, but the point is euphoria surrounding being perceived as that age.
Most therians and alterhumans are transspecies. Obviously they don't literally transition into being a dog or whatever, the point is euphoria about being perceived as their identity.
I'm not radqueer :p I understand how being transintersex can be harmful, but I believe people should specify if they are cis or trans to differentiate experiences. Transintersex people can have some intersex experiences, they also cannot have some others, and they can have their own experiences as well.
Correct, white people wont go through what POC go through. Transrace people usually know this! It's about euphoria, at least how I understand it. There are also transrace POC ppl!
And yes, iv seen tons of shit radqueers accept. Transabusers are problematic, though some can have euphoria consensually and validly. CISHARMFUL PEOPLE ARE NOT VALID AND NEVER WILL BE.
Iv also seen plenty of paraphilia havers in the radqueer communities. I have many opinions on paraphilias, especially the big 3. People who encourage or support raping children/animals are horrible human beings full stop. However I do believe there is a difference between having a paraphilia and your actions. I support pedos, zoos, ect, since paraphilias aren't a choice and there are many that don't act on them. What I DONT support are rapist scum.
Age isn't an excuse for behaviour!! "I understand your young" that isn't an excuse or explanation for anything I do or believe in!!
And I DONT support everything. I'm not a radqueer. I understand you can't support everything, that isn't okay.
My response isn't an attempt to change your beliefs or anything, these are just my opinions in response to your comments. If you don't agree, thats completely okay! I'm apart of the queer community and apart of the 'broad queer community' as you called it, aswell. I also draw the line at racists and pro-contact pedophiles, they are disgusting.

you can't "transition" into a different race. the same way you can't "transition" to be mentally ill. or "transition" to be disabled.
Okay! Thanks for commenting <3

if you're promoting the idea that you can "transition" to be a different race and you're white, you are flat out a racist lmao
by Vesper Vile; ; Report
Okay, that's your opinion 🤷♀️ I'm not transrace myself, so I don't know as much about it as other transids. If your curious to understand why someone would be transrace, even if you intend to stay an anti, I suggest contacting transrace people! Just remember it be respectful <3
by Snufkin; ; Report
why would i be respectful towards racists? y'all claim to be open minded but you're really just bored white people wanting to cosplay as minorities
by Vesper Vile; ; Report
Fair enough. There's lots of people who claim to be transrace but are infact just bored racists :/ there are some people that actually identify with it though for whatever reason, and there's also transrace people who are already POC. Im not transrace, so i can't speak for people who identify as transrace, but I can just talk about stuff iv learned.

"trans race" people that are poc are insecure. majority of radqueers/people that use those labels are white minors with a victim complex

How do you know this? Is there some kind of database? I understand why you'd think that, but if your gonna claim stuff like that, you should give some kind of source. Again I'm not radqueer, so if I see evidence to believe a certain identity actually isn't valid, I will stop calling it valid.
by Snufkin; ; Report
i know this because i've spent time looking through radqueer spaces and almost all of the ones i have seen were white kids that didn't feel marginalized enough. it's a very obvious pattern.
by Vesper Vile; ; Report
why wouldn't you believe that "transracial" is invalid? the label is inherently harmful. there is no getting around that.
by Vesper Vile; ; Report
Fair enough, actually. The time iv spent in radqueer spaces, I haven't seen many people reveal they're cisraces, though I'm not usually in transrace areas specifically since I'm not transrace. What kind of reasons did these people give for identifying as transrace? The ones iv seen have seemed pretty valid (being mixed, being a different race/culture from your family/communities, getting euphoria from different coloured skin, etc.)
by Snufkin; ; Report
as a mixed person, it feels like it cheapens what racial identity actually is and erases the material realities tied to it. the reasons people give like being mixed, being culturally disconnected, or liking a different skin color, don't make someone another race. they just flatten what it means to live through those racialized experiences. so it really throws me off when white teens are online claiming to be "transracial" when i know they haven't and won't ever experience racism.
by Vesper Vile; ; Report
I understand what you mean. Some transrace people say that they ARE that race in every way, which isn't true, and I'm sorry you've had to see those ideas. What my understanding of transrace is is focused on the TRANS part; I believe controversial transids like transace should clarify that they are trans when talking about their experiences, since transrace will have different experiences from cisrace, and many transrace will indeed never experience racism towards their desired race.
by Snufkin; ; Report
even if the difference is made, the label is still harmful. people identifying as "transracial" will never be justified to me.
by Vesper Vile; ; Report
Okay, that's fair and your belief. Scroll and/or block when you see transrace ppl then, since interaction usually just gives you more of that content.
