Please Stop Trying To Make A “better” Word For TransID.

Please stop trying to make a “better” word for transID.

So, as a lot of you may know, the creator of the term “oculoid” has been revealed to be pro-transID, and to be completely honest, I am not surprised. Oculoids were advertised as a “better” alternative to transIDs for those with genuine atypical dysphoria. After the creator was exposed, I began noticing a few people attempt to make “better” alternatives to transIDs.

Please stop doing that.

Yes, I do believe in atypical dysphoria. I, myself, have BIID. It’d be hypocritical for me not to. But that’s just what it is; dysphoria. A big part of the radqueer community is kids who are still figuring out their identity seeing all the labels for basic human things and being drawn in. Anti-radqueer made a good post about it here that I think explains it better than I could. In summary, wanting is a human thing, and making a flag and a new word every time you want is unhealthy and disrupts your view of the world.

Oculoids were introduced as a step out of the radqueer community, but unfortunately, they’ve become a step into it. It quickly became less about genuine atypical dysphoria and more about flags and labels. Making new ‘fun’ prefixes/suffixes and communities will only lead to more people falling down the radqueer rabbit hole.

I think I’d compare oculoids to vaping, in a way. It was advertised as a way out, but became a way in. You can’t make a “better” alternative to vaping and cigarettes, but you can find healthier ways to deal with your stress, just like you can find healthier (and appropriate) ways to deal with your atypical dysphoria. Does this make sense?

Conclusion: Stop trying to make a “better” alternative to transID. Stop trying to make a “better” alternative to oculoid. Stop slapping a “better” flag and label on something and calling it a day. If you have genuine atypical dysphoria, talk to others with atypical dysphoria and form a community. Find appropriate, healthy, and harmless ways to cope with it.

Also, if you can, finding a psychiatrist can also help. I am actually seeking psychiatry for my BIID. They can also help you find ways to deal with atypical dysphoria that isn’t harmful to yourself or others. I understand not everyone can get a psychiatrist though, and that’s why I encourage building a community that is not centered around flags and labels.

"Anti-radqueers are the real cult" is very similar to "antifa are the real fascists". Anti-radqueers are not an organized group, it's just an opinion, like anti-racist or anti-ableist. Sure, there is an "anti-radqueer community" on Tumblr, but we aren't as organized or strict as the radqueer community is (hence why a lot of us have completely different discourse opinions outside of being anti-radqueer, meanwhile most radqueers have the exact same discourse opinions with only a few tiny differences).

Anti-radqueers are not a cult. Don't let radqueers steal yet another term to co-opt and shift the meaning of, especially when it's been proven time and time again that radqueers are in fact an extremely traumatizing cult. Calling anti-radqueers a cult is a badly done attempt to escape blame and consequences, and is directly copying off of and appropriating former radqueer's trauma.

Radqueers are a cult, not anti-radqueers. If you are a former radqueer, your trauma is real and is not because of "a few bad people". You deserve support, recovery, and healing. You are allowed to feel angry, upset, depressed, anxious, or traumatized after what you went through. Radqueers can deny that it happened, but can never take away the truth that it did.

I came out of my constant drawing purely to say I stand with ex radqueers. I even could see myself when younger possibly getting groomed into this.

It's acceptance, something I crave, but an unhealthy amount, that ends up glorifying racism, p3d0s, z00s, 1nc3st, and so much worse.

I can ses it being something people are groomed into though because as people we crave acceptance and want it more than anything. I don't see you as bad for this, you are people and healing and I support you through that. - 🩷💌

Hello! Over time I’ve learned what radqueer means, but what exactly does radinclus mean? I used to think they were the same thing but that doesn’t seem to be the case so I want to know the definitions and how they differ ^^ /nm /nf

Radinclus is about supporting all lgbtq+/mogai identities that are harmless and in good-faith (like xenogenders, neopronouns, mspec lesbians/gays, etc). Radqueers have tried to steal the definition and apply it to things that are very harmful/not good faith (like transracial, transautistic, transnazi, etc), where the logic of "accept all good-faith identities" doesn't work because the identities have been proven to be harmful and most aren't good-faith.

Radinclus is about harmless lgbtq+ identities, while radqueer is about harmful non-lgbtq+ identities (most of which originated on 4chan or from other troll/bad faith uses), if that makes sense
