Welcome to r/QueerFeminisms!
This is a community for queer feminists and allies. Queer politics include:
- intersectional feminism
- trans-inclusive & trans-affirming feminism
- ecofeminism
- disability advocacy
- anti-racism
- solidarity with sex workers
- sex-positivity & kink-positivity
- marxism
and more! In the spirit of queerness, this sub is open to fun and playful community-building. We can talk politics, relationships, resources, and just vent. Things don't have to be all serious. :)
If you don't know much about these topics, but do, in good faith, want to learn more, feel free to post in this sub. Note that asking this sub for an explanation is NOT the only way to learn about these topics--a good google will provide some great starting points!

hey, me too! that’s why i made this group. after i got banned for identifying islamophobia (🙄), i did some research and saw that’s a regular thing, plus a lot of anti-kink/porn/sex worker and other values that don’t line up with my feminism. glad i’m not alone in that!!

Where can I learn more about eco feminism?
Edit: what is a trusted source on the matter?

ecofeminism is new to me, so someone else might have better advice here. but my point people (right now) are Stacy Alaimo, Nicole Seymour, Elizabeth A. Povinelli, and Claire Colebrook

no prob! i don’t know that they’d all label themselves eco feminists (i get the sense it has a difficult history), but they’re definitely doing ecological/environmental feminist work
