"I have a Queery about...Allyship" ft. Loud, Bossy, Gross Queer Queeries
-
- Personal Journals
"How can I be a better ally?" "What is 'performative allyship'?" "How was the system and media informed how I see those who are different from me?" "How can I start deconstructing the systems of patriarchy, racism, misogny, etc. for myself?"
On this week's episode, I'm joined by someone who is no stranger to speaking out and working every day to dismantle the "system." This is LOUD, BOSSY, GROSS, also known as Laura (they/them, she/her). Laura runs an instagram account where she posts videos that aim to help people live their best lives and also work to dismantle the oppressive systems that exist in their world. I wanted to have Laura on because not only is she such an inspiration (at only 19 years old, might I add) for so many people, but for her living in England, I wanted to discuss the difference in systemic oppression and racism on a more global scale.
On this episode, we discuss things such as:
How to be better allies to Queer folk, BIPOC. "Allyship is not a destination or a once a week class."-LauraWhy White Liberals can exhibit the worst kinds of micro-aggressive racism."Preferences are Political"-Laura; why we are taught to have certain depictions of racial minorities in our brainsThe system of the media and how it teaches us to think what is beautiful and what we should think of people who look or live different from us...and, as always, so much more.
