beyond the binaries
A response to the ‘linear narrative’ video, mostly with respect to my own experiences breaking out of that narrative as a (gender)queer person of color.

Living Queerly (by reesekelly)
Reese talks about how his disclosure (in class) of being in a relationship with a woman can be queer & disruptive due to his students reading him as a cis gay man.

QUEER ENOUGH by Bianca James
I am queer. I am a “biological” woman who likes to fuck men.
I am genderqueer. I have a vagina and like to wear dresses.
Confused? I will try to explain, though most of the time it’s easier not to.
Invisible queerness. Invisible transgender. Passing privileges- but exactly who and what am I passing as? People tend to assume I am a lesbian by my short hair and swagger. They looked at me like I’m a dirty tissue when I say, no, I mostly sleep with men. Soiled in their eyes. Un-queered. So much for queer as an inclusive “umbrella” term.
I’ve had sex with women, and I probably will again. But it’s not lesbians that identify with, as much as I love them as friends. It’s gay men. Gay men, I understand like none other. They understand me. And I can’t help but be attracted to them, even if I don’t act on my desires. Instead, I find the men, who, like me, are queer but like to sleep with women. Men who prefer anal sex and fisting to straight intercourse, men who wear eyeliner and skirts, men who sit down to pee because they don’t give a damn about being perceived as being “manly enough.” Men who have been called “faggot” their whole lives for refusing to conform, when ironically, they love women.
And we exist, queerly heterosexual, guy dykes and girl fags in love.
I am a femme androgyne, a fagette, masculine in short hair and muscles, feminine in lipstick and heels. I am man and woman as one, and I refuse to pick a side. I love having big breasts and rocking a 10” strap on at the same time.
My man- self is a femme faggot. Johnny Weir ice dancing to Lady Gaga in roses and sequins. Oscar Wilde, a sissy genius in lavender silk with a poison pen.
My woman- self is a lusty warrior. Grace Jones in a James Bond film, power-lifting a full-grown man over her head in haute couture and heels. French novelist, burlesque dancer and body builder Colette, dressed in a 19th century men’s suit.
I am queer. I am genderqueer. I am femme.
And if you can’t wrap your brain around that, well, I wasn’t planning on sleeping with you anyway.

Porn This Way! (Queer Porn Cover of Lady Gaga’s Born this Way)
How awesome is this Lady Gaga Cover!?
Lyrics:
It doesn’t matter if you love hir, or capital H-I-R
Just turn that volume up
And watch queer porn, babySociety told me when I was young
About various normative sexual scripts
I rolled my hair and put my lipstick on
And then tore those scripts to bits
There’s nothing wrong with wanting what you want
You know desire is a social construct
So when the lights are on, the cameras rolling
That’s when we all start getting fuckedIt’s beautiful when you say
“Can I touch you there?” “Yes you may!”
We’re on the right track to make
Some hot queer porn today
Don’t exoticize bodies of color
Respectfully eroticize one another
We’re on the right track to make
Some hot queer porn todayOh there are so many ways
To make queer porn worthy of praise
Let’s make some hot queer porn todayOh there are so many ways
To make queer porn worthy of praise
We’re on the right track to make
Some hot queer porn todayYou’re not an object — you are the subject
You’re not an object — you are the subject
You’re not an object — you are the subject
You are!Let every lick melt heteropatriarchy
Every bite - right into white supremacy
Porn that humanizes is so hot
You’ll want that shit on DVD
Having the sex you want is not a sin
Believe capital H-I-R
Your body is your own so you can say
What really, really turns you onIt’s beautiful when you say
“Can I touch you there?” “Yes you may!”
We’re on the right track to make
Some hot queer porn today
Don’t exoticize bodies of color
Respectfully eroticize one another
We’re on the right track to make
Some hot queer porn todayOh there are so many ways
To make queer porn worthy of praise
Let’s make some hot queer porn todayOh there are so many ways
To make queer porn worthy of praise
We’re on the right track to make
Some hot queer porn todayYou’re not an object - you are the subject
And your subjectivity is not a list
Of traits Lady Gaga considers “different”
Splotches of paint on her diversity palette
Erasing histories left and right
But we won’t go down without a fight
And we’ll go down after that fight
Cuz baby, we’re queering porn tonightNo matter queer or not
Consensual sex is hot
We’re on the right track to give
This one all that we’ve got
She says your identity was formed
All based on how you were born
Don’t need an excuse to be yourself
You’re great — now let’s make some pornIt’s beautiful when you say
“Can I touch you there?” “Yes you may!”
We’re on the right track to make
Some hot queer porn today
Don’t exoticize bodies of color
Respectfully eroticize one another
We’re on the right track to make
Some hot queer porn todayOh there are so many ways
To make queer porn worthy of praise
Let’s make some hot queer porn todayOh there are so many ways
To make queer porn worthy of praise
We’re on the right track to make
Some hot queer porn todayI like porn this way!
Queer porn this way!
We’re on the right track
Now let’s queer porn todayI like porn this way!
Queer porn this way!
We’re on the right track
Now let’s queer porn today
NamelessQueer talks about being a trans queer person of color. He also has a couple of videos in spanish for those of you who are spanish speakers.
The blessing of being queer is that, while there are boundaries to my body, there are no boundaries to my fantasies.
I will forever be stuck when people ask me ‘Are you a boy or girl?’ and that’s perfectly okay with me.
