The wiki is supposed to offer an unbiased and comprehensive overview and account for all different perspectives on polymind labels. If a term added is objectively bad, then it would be obvious. It is an archive, only to be a record of all polymind terms, which includes controversial ones. The wiki itself will never have a stance.

We as the wiki staff, understand why some of you may be upset about certain terms being added, that is why we added the controversial tag in the first place. You are allowed to not like it, but stating your opinions on an informative website is not needed, keep it to social media.

Respectqueer!

Respect queer is very similar to peacequeer and purequeer. It is a radqueer-lite anti-radqueer or critical-radqueer label. It is coined with ex-radqueers in mind, but is not exclusive to ex-radqueers, anyone can use it.

The flag represents sunrise, because as stated above it is coined with ex-radqueers in mind, ones who are rising and healing. Most blankqueer terms have an emoji combo, so this would be 🌅🤍.

Respectqueer is:

Understanding that the radqueer community causes harm.

Respecting all identities whether they seem cringe, weird, gross, or harmful.

Looking into labels that may seem harmful and forming opinions on that rather than gut-reactions.

Calling out groomers, abusers, predators, harassers, and bullies in an informative manner.

Not causing unnecessary drama, being inflammatory, or spreading misinformation.

Understanding that both demonizing and idealizing disorders and cultures is harmful.

Being against nonconsensual contact and abuse.

Respecting that harm can be consensual but there are groups that cannot consent. Chronominors (with the exception to close in age chronoteenagers), animals (without sapien consciousness), cisdead, and grooming victims.

Gilbert Baker added a 9th stripe shortly before his death, with the new stripe representing diversity. He added this stripe in reaction to the 2016 US election. It’s unfortunately not as well known as the 8 and 6 striped versions.

Here’s an image of him sewing together the 9 striped rainbow flag.
