I hate feeling like Queer nerdy leftist space is just another hegemony I'm required to conform to.

general agreement, with some thoughts 

@Leucrotta As someone who frequently bumps up against the borders and finds the cracks in Queer Nerdy Leftist Space, I have to agree.

I often feel like a lot of online leftist spaces are overrun with fear-enforced conformity, in which people who have been very badly hurt in the past try so hard to control their environment and the people around them to maintain safety that they stifle and hurt others who don't conform.

@Leucrotta Stay queird. don't let them tell you what you can or cannot be. ^_^
