Reposting because I didn't realize I was supposed to tag it until days after the fact — thanks

Intro post, I guess? I'm bad at those but fuck it we'll see where this goes.
I'm Sol, 28 as of last week, they/them.
I'm aroace, multigender, loosely transmasc, and intersex. I consider myself an anarcha-feminist with green anarchist and syndicalist leanings.
I've tried this whole fediverse thing before but never really got the hang of it. Though the desperation I feel for a social hangout where people aren't constantly trying to tell me I have a moral obligation as a trans person to enjoy underage incest is convincing me to try again. (Tumblr is just as psyopped as 4chan, they just don't know it yet. Glory willing they find out.)
I believe that intimacy is political. Specifically I identify strongly with rolequeer, a little-known and short-lived anti-authoritarian movement from within the kink scene that flared up and fizzled over the course of a few years in the mid 2010s. Much of my understanding of power and intimacy is built on their work, though there are areas where I disagree, mostly in matters of strategy.
I am alterhuman and that cannot be separated from my politics, especially since the culture war crowd has been getting bolder and bolder about attacking us directly (as opposed to before, when alterhumans were incidental targets in the anti-trans culture war.) I believe in cognitive liberty even for modes of thought that may seem strange and incomprehensible to me, and I'm always trying to find people whose modes of thought are mutually intelligible with mine as I tend to be strange and incomprehensible to most people.
I consider myself a mad sociologist, which here means a sociological autodidact who's too poor for university. It also means someone who studies the workings of society in a way that is aligned with Mad Pride and radical cognitive autonomy.
If the world didn't hate trans people, I'd be a teacher right now. Since it does, I'm a professional poster.
