A classroom is for learning.
A waiting room is for waiting.
A vital part of Bob’s trajectory, though, occurs in the natural state in which he occupies rooms and diffuses his own “label” vitality in the naturalness of that said situation. Entry is a non-arguable natural state that is self-evident to their existence. Bobs are the means of substantiation which normality is built (in a social manner). The aggressive majority of cishet men navigate the world with the assumption that they can enter every room, unprovoked, unchallenged, unoccupied with thought. They have never spent one minute of their Bob-ed up life, to even think about whether rooms have politics, let alone whether those politics are informed by them and thus which way those politics include them.

In simple English, Bob belongs in every room, as all room politics can be occupied by Bob. Do the rooms have a choice?

Difference is celebrated, definitely. However, if one is to hold a Bob to the standards which he should be rightly held on to: behave, respect, de-occupy, what is unveiled is the wish to de-hierarchize a system of power which Bob rules. That of a cis man. That of a cis white man. That of a cis white straight man. That of a cis white straight man that is also alternative and enjoys electronic music. However, the incentive behind such queer mission, should not be the re-hierarchizing of queerness. It should not be the re-hierarchizing of techno “supremacy” nor status DJ-ing. It's to hold ourselves accountable to the things we should rightly hold on to: re-behave, respect, re-occupy. What it should be doing is a letting-go into a queer-centered becoming where for once the people that are in the limelight are people which want to allow radical hospitality to occur. A hospitality that invites the Other, the Foreign, the Traveller, the “Other” Queer into a sort of welcoming of higher-energy that enables the use of sexuality and identity as the surrounding spectrum we find ourselves in. Regardless of the role we occupy in that newly-found (Techno, Queer, Gender, Alternative, Trendy etc.) ladder.
In short, what makes a queer dancefloor quintessentially queer is its own understanding of holding accountability in a way that promotes radical empathy which can encompass the cracks and oscillations of its own movements. If one cannot move in the cracks or has been too comfortable on its plateau, it is time to dance in a way that reaches their core and not only your identity formation of surrounding variables or socio-persona. If one cannot move in the oscillations, while understanding that the people around you are on the same path, they should take a seat as the tiresome of identity, as well as this text, is understandable. This is a slow process. This is a fight against slow violence. This is a becoming that is slow, steady, radically and unapologetically queer. Hence, respect the access given to us all in this alternative embodiment which we are invited to. As respect is won though and not just given, instead of self-gratuitous performativities, the reason to join should be to create the wished safe equilibrium our own opposition allows, even if you have Bobified yourself somewhere along the way.
