I absolutely HATE this word. And I hate that the wokesters have basically forced and bullied all the straight people into using this word now. It's at the point where if I tell the straight person that as a bisexual, I don't like this word, they either start arguing with me because someone else already gave them permission/pressured them into using that word, or growing silent and bitter because they don't want to argue about it, they just have that 'damned if you do, damned if you don't' feeling.

I don't know how to explain to straight people why this word is wrong and bad, because they know that I will never turn into a belligerent monster who tries to cancel them for using the word. Deep down inside they know I'm safe, so they don't fear me. But if deranged MTF who has the pronouns of suck/my/girldick screams at them to call all of us Faggots and Dykes now, they'll do it immediately, because they are scared. And they will fight with people like us and defend the people who scare and bully them.

I can't even explai to you the feeling of dying inside when you tell a straight person who gleefully uses the word queer and expects asspats and praise from you: "I actually don't use that word for myself, I'm just bisexual" and they just look at you like you killed their puppy. Like, I'm sorry sis, I understand that you want me to do the emotional labor of making you feel like a woke goddess who is on the right side of history but.......... No.

I tell straight people that they must never call me queer. If a straight person was told he had to use that word to describe us by a rabid, mentally ill non-binary woman, I’d double down and that person that he is still not allowed to call me queer. Just because you don’t engage in this cancer culture doesn’t mean you have to be spineless. And if a straight person is offended that I won’t go along with the woke indoctrination, then he deserves to be offended. I simply won’t be his friend if he can’t handle my act of dissidence. The non-binary idiot can take a hike.

I will very aggressively tell both straight and gay people to never call me queer under any circumstances. I've never gotten anything but confused acquiescence.
