Trans Queers for Satan
23rd December 2012, 02:38
Hey, I've been browsing for a few days and thought I would peek in. My name is fairly uncommon and identifiable so for now I'll just go by K. I'm a white* trans queer woman from New York City.
Politically, I'm an anarchist-communist who is heavily influenced by Murray Bookchin - mostly from his mid-life work, I'm pretty sure the majority of anarchists disagree with his later-life Communalism, and although I disagree with it I accept it as being legitimate. Being that I'm a Bookchinist, my view of anarchism is very social and communal. I'm also into "gender studies" (for lack of a better term? I don't like how that comes off) and more intricate analyses of anarcha-feminism.
You'd think the scene in NYC is big, given how big of a city it is, but because everything got enveloped into Occupy it's tough to differentiate the radical demonstrations from the mass of liberals.
Anyway, I think most of my time here will be as a shy observer, but nonetheless I look forward to interacting with everyone!
[* I'm listing my whiteness not because I'm proud of it or because I strongly identify with it in any sense, but just because when talking about social oppressions like womanhood, transness, or queerness, it's important to acknowledge how my whiteness and subsequent privilege interacts in that. Anyway, just want to make sure nobody thinks I'm a white nationalist or anything]
