“Today’s episode argues that queerness and neuroqueerness offer a path beyond the oppressive structures of capitalism and empire, viewing these identities not just as survival mechanisms but as blueprints for a utopian future already in existence. The author the source article, Dr. Jaime Hoerricks, critiques the mainstream LGBTQ+ movement for prioritising assimilation over radical change and embraces the disruptive potential of neuroqueer identities and fluid temporalities that challenge capitalist demands for order and linear time. By refusing normative categories and embracing difference, queerness becomes an act of defiance against imperial control and a foundation for building alternative ways of being. Dr. Hoerricks’ “manifesto” ultimately calls for an exit from a world not built for queer and neurodivergent individuals, asserting that their existence and ways of being are not anomalies but the future itself.”Here’s the link to the source article: https://open.substack.com/pub/autside/p/still-here-still-queer-neuroqueernessLet me know what you think.The AutSide is a reader-supported publication.
