Probably focusing on the wrong thing here, but does it make anyone else kind of uncomfortable that a straight woman is throwing the word 'queer' around willy-nilly? I don't care how 'reclaimed' you believe it to be.

That's how they lump us all together, don't you know? Straights retain their sole identity, but now everyone else is 'queer.' No more lesbians or gay men, only queer people. Not erasure or playing into some kind of inherent prejuidice against us all at all. Nope.

But so many of those who call themselves queer now are straight people who see themselves as queer cuz they have an edgy haircut, tattoos, facial piercings; are into kink; don't dress/present or behave as ultra-extreme sex stereotypes representing polar opposites of masculinity and femininity (rather they dress and behave in a more mixed-bag way like most human beings do); and they ascribe to genderist ideology and queer theory.

On Google, type "queer heterosexuality meaning" into the search bar and more than 2.8 million results come up.

Yep, they want in on the insults they sling so they can claim to be victims when we're the ones being marginalized. Same playbook, slightly different targets.
