#quoipunk

Embracement of quoi- for whatever identities it can apply to. Not queer-exclusive. So this post is for people who are quoiromantic, quoisexual, quoigender, quoigenic, quoiluntary, or any other quoi- label or combination of.

“Quoi” implies a critical look at how a community is defining its options and what room it allows for pushback against binaries and strict categories. You don’t have to take on a quoi- label to ask these questions: Is it necessary for the aspec community to divide its members along a scale from “most” to “least”? Is it good for the plural community to expect from its members a singular reason why they exist? You don’t have to call yourself quoigender specifically to ask “do I really have to label myself with one of these pre-defined words when gender is such a complicated and nebulous concept anyways?”

If you don’t know, that’s fine. You don’t have to know. Knowing the name for your feelings is not a requirement for having them.

If you don’t care, that’s fine. You don’t have to choose a label ever if you don’t want to and you certainly don’t have to tell other people what you chose. Your acceptance within a community should not hinge on telling them all everything about you.

Not gay as in happy but queer as in fuck you.

Not questioning as in “ask me again tomorrow” but quoi as in “what are you, a cop?”

You know what’s cool as hell? Saying “fuck you” to the dictionary definition. Bisexual lesbians. MLM trans women. People who pick “all of the above” on every form. Autistics with alexithymia and borderlines with no identity stability and anyone else who might never know. Plural systems who are formed by trauma and also not formed by trauma at the same time. People who contradict themselves and own it. That's what quoipunk is here for. Even if they don’t identify as quoi. Quoipunk is also here for self-determination.
