This chapter is based on a keynote for the Digital Intimacies conference in 2022. The theme of the conference was Relational Futures. The chapter responds to the frequently asked question: ‘Is there evidence of queerness and transness in Aboriginal culture prior to colonisation?&s; The author reflects on key thinkers and texts in Indigenous Studies, and Indigenous Feminism and Queer Studies which frame anti-colonial thinking around sexuality, gender and the question of cultural authenticity. They also consider cultural works and emerging research that trouble this question and how it interacts with colonial violence. This chapter weaves together auto-ethnography, pop culture and Indigenous and anti-colonial theory to speak to the violent erasure of the needs and stories of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander LGBTQ+ people. Ultimately, it asks, if Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander LGBTQ+ people already know we exist, then who does this question serve?
