Yesterday I rediscovered that I had a few QVP flag vinyl stickers laying around. I briefly contemplated putting one on my water bottle, before I thought to myself "Do you even have the right to wave that flag?"
It's something of a recurring theme for me, in general. Often I ask "Am I queer enough? Am I trans enough? Can I claim any of these aspects of an identity? Do I belong to a group where I can provide and obtain solidarity with others? Do I have the right to that? Am I causing problems by even thinking that?"
I ask the question, but the answer usually is "Hey, let's change the subject". Which is, of course, telling in its own right.
