QUEER LABELS VALIDITY & REQUIREMENTS MASTERPOST

have you ever wondered "is it okay for me to call myself this label?" "can i identify as [this] if im also [that]?" "is this identity valid?" or various similar sentiments?

well look no further! this post is compiling a list of specifications for different identities along with why you can or cant use certain labels along with other ones, so youll be able to make an informed decision on choosing your labels! (and not call yourself something thats very problematic and harmful to other queers)

As if!

you can do whatever you want forever <3

you know yourself best, only you can decide what labels fit your own experiences and identity :)

other people can offer their perspectives from their own experiences if you want to hear them to try to figure out what you relate to, but no identity has a universal experience! no one can tell you that you cant identify as something!

no one, i repeat NO ONE, ordains the details of queer labels and who can or cant identify as what, or if a label can be used at all or not! not even if they are of the identity theyre trying to enforce rules on!

just because some rando may walk up to the gate of a public park and begin trying to control who can or cant enter doesnt mean its their property!

go, be free and queer, even with the most complex and weird and confusing labels! nothing can tie you down! (unless youre into that)

💖❤🧡💛💚💙💜

i might get some hate for this depending on where this post goes but i think lesboys are so valid and the discourse about them is so ridiculous. like you guys shouldn't have to deal with all that and it frustrates me that people throw hissy fits over an identity that literally does not affect them at all.

"but men cant be lesbians-" wrong. butch lesbians and trans men have a really closely connected history with each other that practically intersects and you should really do some research on that before you make blanket statements, not to mention that gender and sexuality is weird and wobbly and fluid and a very personal experience. it means a different thing to each person. being a man can be something completely different and saying stuff like this ignores people like demiboys, demigirls, genderfluid and genderflux people etc. these people will really preach "demolish the gender binary!! love is love!!" until someone's relationship with gender and sexuality is a little too freaky for them to handle and be challenged by lmaoo

"ohhh but what about the cishet men who say they're lesbians to prey on women-" YEAH WHAT ABOUT THEM????? THIS AIN'T ABOUT THEM BRO!!!!! this argument also REEKS of terfy "trans women are just predatory men!!!111!!1" rhetoric and it grosses me out. yeah some men are gross and do try to pull this but that does not negate someone's entire identity completely just because of a few bad actors, you know that right? actual black and white behaviour.

queer discourse is silly and i don't know why it's a thing. just let people exist. it isn't that hard. we have worse things to worry about than whether someone calls themselves a lesboy or not. i think we need to unplug our ears and yank our heads out of the sand and remember that the queer community is what it is because of our unique and amazing diversity. arguing over labels like school children isn't gonna help that. damn.

Everytime you attack a trannie for lovingly calling his friend a dyke, or a dyke for lovingly calling her friend a faggot, a 19 year old gay on twitter loses 10 more productive thoughts about intersectionality and solidarity to the void.

I've been thinking about the whole 'Who is Tech Support John texting?' thing and how Lily said she thinks it's between the author who gave him his second duck or the rainbow bridge lady and there have been hints to either with John testing a scenario and visiting the bridge a few times and honestly? I would love it if the answer was that it's both of them. Hell's Belles hasn't had much poly rep and while I think John might not be the best fit since he seems to still get used to being close to people in general, I think he would be able to navigate that since he's very direct. We'll see of course but I think he deserves two nice ladies as his partners 😉

on occasion, discussing pride-related things on tumblr can be impossible. some ppl (myself included) will not change their minds about things, and sometimes you just have to live with that. it is what it is.

i have srsly had irl queer people make fun of me for being queer + liking sports and tell me that is like, not gay or something. like ok just say youre chronically online. womens soccer is the queerest thing i have ever been a part of hands down. also youre an awful person

I feel like a lot of queer discourse would be solved if everyone in the lgbtqia+ community just watched RENT once.

Its an amazing musical first off but it is so Unapologetically Queer.

If you're questioning or maybe you arent out yet. Or you haven't interacted with a lot of other LGBTQIA+ folks irl, it's such a great musical.

The first time I watched it, I was uncomfortable.

I was raised in a christian household, and i wasn't even thinking about coming out to anyone, but was trans and a baby gay™ and I had an amazing friend who was and who's father was so outwardly supportive of the LGBTQIA+ community that it was jist kindof this shock.

I thought wait, they can do that? Wait, we have movies with gay people and trans people that are just existing like this? Wait, this is what happened in the 80s?

I was in HS and I had little to no experience with the queer community.

And the musical made me uncomfortable.

But then I started thinking well why. Halfway through I'm sitting enjoying this music and just so shocked about the open speech, so unapologetic, so outwardly queer in this space that they just are and they just exist these characters are just that. Queer.

Going back it really, really was a major part of my introduction into the queer community. Because if we aren't loud and unapologetic, we risk being wiped out, forgotten, treated as sub-human.

We are human and we are Queer.

And that's just some reasons why I think RENT will ALWAYS ALWAYS stand out as a great piece of queer culture. If you haven't watched it yet, please do!! The music is fantastic! The movie was made with a lot of the original cast from Broadway! It's a great movie night movie!!!

I'm not saying that this is going to fix the TERF issue or make aphobia go away. I'm just saying that a lot of the discourse revolves around tearing down other members of the community.

At the end of the day, we stand together or we die.

And I do mean that. No anti-gay laws are going to care if your partner is trans or ace.

Discriminatory laws don't make exceptions to their rules simply because you identify as something else or you are into something else. Discriminatory laws will discriminate against anyone they deem sub-human, or anyone they can put into a box.

We're already under that one label: Queer, right?

Tearing our own community members down will only make things so much worse. Infighting is the last thing we need, and discourse revolving around transgender people not belonging or asexual people not belonging is a moot point, they've already grouped us together. It doesn't matter in their eyes. We are not better than one another, just like we are not inferior to people who are cis and straight.

The world is heteronormative. We throw a wrench in the "heteronormative ideals" that hate groups have by simply existing. Terfs, nazis, aphobes, biphobes, panphobes-- Just existing is enough to upset these people.

So live unapologetically.

Don't throw hate around.

Fight for the rights and needs of fellow humans. No one is better than any other person.

Oh, and watch RENT

man i am so glad i got over the "queer is a slur and it makes me uncomfortable" phase, the first non-cis identity i used was genderqueer but this hellsite over the years rotted my brain into thinking queer was bad: "dont call yourself that, it's still a slur, youll make other people uncomfortable, you can't reclaim that"

i feel so much better just using "queer" to describe my very fluid sexuality & gender. i dont feel confined in a single boxed label anymore, getting so stressed out when the former hyper-specific label i was using no longer encompassed my experience then moving on to the next label. The constant shifting of my self image made me feel as if I wasn't actually trans or gay, which only added to my anxieties.

accepting my fluidity made me feel...more me; i am a boy. i am both a girl & boy at the same time, i am neither. i am simultaneous butch, a fag & bisexual. I am all of these things & the euphoria is indescribable in the best ways possible
