a rant abt "queer discourse"

i used to think that "queer is a slur" people were right in some way and that u shouldnt say it around them, when i was a Dumb Baby
but eventually i realized that i dont give a shit abt people who find my identity offensive and no one's gonna stop me from being queer as fuck
and also all "queer is a slur and ur not allowed to identify as that" people are one step away from becoming terfs because policing the way queer people are allowed to identify, just so their identity is more palatable to people who Don't Matter (cis and straight people), is just terf ideology. if u do this u are no different from a terf in my eyes.
anyways this rant is brought to you by a queer as hell voidgirl who uses (several) neopronouns whos seen one too many posts abt "queer-discourse" on other platforms and who jsut felt like ranting ok

in reply to @comforttiger's post:

I have a "queer is a slur" trans woman friend and I avoided using the word around her (at least unspoilered) - but you're kinda right

Where they ARE right tho is that you shouldn't label THEM as queer if they prefer not to label themselves with that and using queer as a synonym for all LGBTQ+ people is.. well.. it's complicated. Someone's not gonna feel included either way.
