Something I really love about queerness is how somebody's sexuality merges and bleeds into their gender.

I think for some, it can be, in part, a reclamation of the idea of being punished for not truly being your gender or not being enough as-is. A lesbian who's punished for not being a "woman" by cishet society can reclaim themself by declaring they aren't a woman but a lesbian, lesbiangender, in short.

Queerness in any capacity is often (though not always and not across-the-board) punished as a failure in some way. You're a second-class man or woman, a second-class person, depending on many factors. Reclaiming that can be really relieving and cathartic

#queer #lgbt #lgbtq #this is obviously more complex for many #but it's why my own sexuality plays into my gender - it is recognizing that i am often punished for not being a 'true man'#both because i am trans and because i am queer #i know of a het trans person whose gender seems like... hetman (which i honestly vibe with for him)#so it's not like this doesn't apply to non-het or non-queer-in-sexuality people #in so many ways i am more similar to that trans person than a lot of other people even if he's straight and i'm not really
