I'm not American, but I get the sense that this "political homelessness" is something many Americans are feeling. I admire your country but it's in a tough situation.

a party who wants me to not exist, who wants to silence me

I'm curious if there's a better interpretation of "not exist" and "silence", because this sounds identical to hyperbolic TRA language. For comparison, we all know what we mean when we say something like "adult human female"—and it's not saying that trans people don't or shouldn't exist.

I actually think lesbians can use this language freely without hyperboly. They literally think calling yourself a lesbian is a dog whistle for being a terf. They would rather lesbians identify as queer and accept girldick into their lives. If that's not denying existence and silencing I'm not sure what is...

Queer is so vague word. In one review on big site about lesbian game, they were all time referring to characters as "queer people" or "queer women". But what does that mean? "Game about queer people" - what does it mean? Is it about gay men? Non-binary straight couple? Lesbians? Transsexual couple? Asexuals? It is so vague and unclear, that I felt disgust reading it. And I had a strong feeling that "bi-sexual" and "lesbian" is just a swear words in their minds, as they are trying to never use it. Even game itself said this word few times, while progressive reviewers avoding it like a plague...

Queer means absolutely nothing. It is a way for woke people to feel included in the wokeness brigade.

There is lesbian, gay, straight and whatever the TRAS are.

I am not queer, I am a lesbian.
