you know what word i fukin hate when it’s applied to someone other than yourself: q-eer

if u ID as q-eer it’s ok but don’t talk abt “queer ladies” or “queer kids” or whatever don’t! do that! if you’re talking abt lesbian issues, say lesbian! if you’re talking abt non-straight boys, say gay, bi, or pan boys! if you’re discussing an issue, use the word that applies. use some critical thinking and use the terms that apply to your statement bc q-eer is not an umbrella term. its a SLUR. don’t call strangers slurs (like “im here for q-eer boys who etc etc etc” Do Not)

it’s a word you can use for yourSELF and nobody else (unless that specific person has said they are also q-eer) I cannot tell you how TIRED i am of those awful bullet point posts talking abt “q-eer ppl” RELEASE ME
