I mean there's "prison gay," "sailor gay," maricas, "men having sex with men," futanari, níð, skoptsy, castrati, and just plain bargain-bin eunuchs, but even their beloved "two-spirits" were seen as witchcraft suspects who had to sit down hard on sharp flint every month since they wanted to bleed so bad

what's the matter is that they're just trying to annex thousands of years of human sexual expression to a superspecific 2010s US/Canadian way of defining "queerTM"
