asserting that people are “trying” to reclaim queer, as if it might not stick, is disgustingly misleading. it’s been 25+ years. you can stop talking about it as if it’s “trendy”, or as if we just started yesterday. it’s our word.
yeah idk where you live but people get called queer regularly as a slur RIGHT NOW so excuse me for not wanting to base my whole identity off a slur. if you and anyone else wanna reclaim it that’s 100% fine, it’s your choice, it’s your label, but you don’t speak for everyone.
read the post. it was about something specific, it wasn’t a generic invitation for you to tell me every one of your feelings about the word.
