QueerofGender

ace as multi-issue folks whose experiences of gender do not fit so neatly within the rigid confines of the white, cishet-patriarchal gender binary. The lack of gender diversity in the mainstream looks to erase our gender journeys. Moreover, when gender outside of the “norm” is validated by mainstream society, it is white/white-washed, non-disabled, colonized, documented, etc. - seemingly “acceptable” representations of what they feel we should be and not who we really are. Therefore, QofG serves as sacred space for racialized LGBTTQQ2SIAP+ folks and all of the other names we call ourselves, whose experiences of gender and race are marginalized. Let’s celebrate, affirm and archive our stories, achievements and the intricate, complex ways we view and experience ourselves. We are QueerofGender and We Exist.
