#or ‘only chronically online baby gays are against queer’

I need the whole queer discourse thing to progress past interpersonal usage. Whether someone personally refers to themselves as queer or not quite literally does not fucking matter, the only thing worth discussing atp is how widespread that usage may be (calling it the queer community, is it reclaimed enough for ppl outside the community to say it in that specific way, etc.)
#like literally the whole thing where it’s like ‘only privileged ppl who’ve never faced homophobia use queer’#or ‘only chronically online baby gays are against queer’#that’s all so tired and absolutely irrelevant Can we get to the crux of the issue please#idc how someone else used a term to define themselves the real question is how malicious widespread use of it can be#imo#actually I’m not gonna give it bc that completely removes the point of the post#like can we PLEASE move past that stupid ass discourse up above ty#and this is not on some centrist both sides are stupid kinda thing#like i think the conversation around the usage of queer is extremely important and should be had#Intergenerationally and both irl and online#but the specific things yall focus on are so stupid I’m sorry#if someone says they don’t like being referred to as queer idc if u think they’re sensitive just don’t like 💀#and if someone is happily referring to themselves as queer so? like literally what is ur issue#and it seems like I’m toting the obvious but it feels like how you personally see it is the only thing being discussed like#let’s get into whether we feel alright with politicians saying queer community#let’s be serious

I think it's really interesting that nowadays mspec lesbians are "chronically online" and the majority of people (actively and audibly) against them are baby gays. When I was younger, before I got involved with the queer community online at all, the idea of SAM mspec lesbians seemed like an entirely possible and normal thing to me.
yeah. like, I’ll admit when I first heard of bi lesbians I thought it was only possible to be a bi lesbian if you were abro and/or SAM, because I was always taught that lesbian was exclusive wlw, but I’ve learned a lot more since then and now it’s absolutely ridiculous to me that there’s actually discourse over wlw/nlw using their OWN WORDS to describe themselves, just because they’re mspec/nonbinary/male
