They Want Us Out

They Want Us Out is part survival manual, part bureaucratic exposé, and part raw, radical love letter to every queer migrant caught in the crosshairs of European immigration systems. Written by a queer Egyptian navigating the labyrinth of Belgian residency, this book blends biting satire, lived experience, and practical legal guidance into one powerful resource. This isn’t your average how-to guide. It’s a deeply personal, rage-fueled response to the nightmare of migration paperwork, wrapped in humour and honesty. Driven by a personal yearning and an emotional undercurrent, it accomplishes all of this through poetic screams, queer iconography, legal jargon, and interactive safe pages. Whether you’re wading through visa forms, confronting hostile communes, or simply trying to survive as a queer body in a system not built for you, this book doesn’t promise magic. But it will hand you clarity, context, and community. They Want Us Out is not just about staying in the Queendom, it’s about resisting erasure with every page.
