Severed Frequencies (V): The Queer Frequency — Illegible Vibrations and the Refusal to Align

Tuesday, April 8, 2025

The queer frequency is not defined by sexuality or orientation.
It is the refusal to align with pre-written codes of being.
It is a vibration that moves sideways, diagonally, through non-linear time and non-normative desires.

This frequency does not seek deviation for spectacle.
It exists because the straight world has always been too small.
Too rigid.
Too afraid.

The queer frequency is ancient.
It existed in shamans, two-spirit beings, third genders, untranslatable roles —
long before modern labels tried to fix it in place.

It was severed not just by violence —
but by systemic illegibility.
A refusal to name.
A refusal to see.
A refusal to recognize as real what could not be made to serve reproduction, lineage, or patriarchy.

And so, the queer frequency survived by bending.
It bent language.
It bent fashion.
It bent space.
It created zones where meaning could dissolve, where identity could breathe, where the self could slip into multiplicity.

That’s why it had to be attacked.
Because it refused to stabilize.
It refused to be “useful.”
It refused to mirror the system’s image of futurity.

But this frequency is not fragile.
It is fluid, yes.
But fluid does not mean weak.
It means resistant to capture.

The queer frequency is coded survival through invention.
It is the laugh in the face of discipline.
The beauty that disturbs.
The love that doesn’t justify itself.
The refusal to die just because the form was never recognized.

It is not asking to be tolerated.
It is not here for representation.
It is here to say:

“I exist outside your rhythm,
and I will not sync to your silence.”
