@pbandkate speaking as a person who also identifies as queer, iirc “gay” and “lesbian” had been slurs before as well, before being reclaimed by the community. You should of course do your best to minimize the trauma you inflict on others, but when it comes to your identity and how you navigate through the world, I feel like we each ought to tend our own garden.

@pbandkate Kate you're the best and this isn't my wheelhouse at all but I feel like you should be able to identify in whatever way makes you most comfortable

@pbandkate I kind of hate this discourse as someone who has been hearing it for years and years. I will not give up queer; there is no substitute for me. nothing else fits. nothing else so perfectly encapsulates non-hetero, non-cis, non-normative identity in one word. nothing! the best I can do is agree to avoid using it around company that objects to it but they will not stop me from using it as an identifier for myself because it is such a huge part of "me" by this point.
