“Today’s episode reflects on Leo Herrera’s “Post” and expands on the idea of a queer hero’s journey that differs from traditional narratives of departure, ordeal, and return. Instead, it explores themes of exile, survival, truth-telling, and expression as radical acts for marginalised individuals who often find no unchanged home to return to. The author of the source article, Dr. Jaime Hoerricks, examines how coming out and living authentically can feel like crossing borders, demanding new forms of heroism focused on persistence and creating spaces where they were previously absent. Ultimately, they posit that the true victory lies not in a triumphant return, but in leaving a legacy of survival and truth for those who follow.”Here’s the link to the source article: https://open.substack.com/pub/autside/p/wohlig-the-quiet-comfort-of-finishedLet me know what you think.The AutSide is a reader-supported publication.
