With Jonathan Joss's hate crime death, I'm having severe flashbacks to Nex Benedict here, and not in a good way. And Nex was Native too. Please start to put two-and-two together. Our queerness and Nativeness - and their struggle - are not separate. Your queerness must relate to ours.

Nativeness cannot be binary, if is to make sense and be practically applicable at the scale of countries.
We propose a graduated definition, in which species native to neighbouring territories are considered "near-native"

Very nice paper in @peopleandnature.bsky.social showing that people rapidly change their perception around the nativeness status of species when they are used to their presence

A comment like “You don’t look like a native speaker” should show you that nativeness is never a purely linguistic category.

It's Trans Day of Remembrance, but for many it's Native American Heritage Month of Forgetting. As you evoke Nex Benedict's name who was both Trans and Choctaw, I hope you reflect on why you acknowledge his Transness, a label created outside our culture, without his Nativeness, first and foremost.

Sex speech IS political speech. Talking about the nativeness of my womanhood makes no sense without talking about what my political and social oppressors are using to estrange my womanhood (from me and from my society).

White people ABSOLUTELY attack me for my Nativeness. White people dismiss my Nativeness more than any Native person EVER has. White people speak over and disrespect me when I talk about Native issues. White people think my Nativeness is "too radical" and "going overboard."

It's a fish hook and not a horseshoe, and if folks would stop measuring "the standard" of "the left" from a distinctly white perspective that erases and invalidates Blackness and Nativeness? Like Bernie and the Chapo left have always done? Y'all are gonna still see this whitewashed gaslit horseshoe.

Nativeness is binary
Graduating it for practical reasons involves a confusion between nativeness and invasiveness, since management (practical stuff deals with the later, which is not binary)
