I dream of day we live in a society without Social NORMS. No longer policed in our bodies, genders, sexualities, and diversities. A life free from the oppression/s that is suffered living diverse?
Is this a delusional utopian vision or a future imagining!
QUEER(ing) is a new way of living that’s in direct critique of societies mainstream norms, customs and culture. It challenges and interrogates social powers and privileges.
I believe QUEER as mainstream society defines it . Meaning “an identity category used as an umbrella term for LGBTQA+. which assimilates difference and empowers cis-centric social regimes and systems .
Someone who identifies as QUEER, is anyone who lives Non-NORM expressions, that results in being marginalised, discriminated and oppressed.
Living QUEER is the act of living critically and challenging mainstream conventions in everyday living.
A QUEER person is someone who is living expressions that can not be defined or understood by identity categories, social conventions or NORM’s.
