Queer doesnt exist, its just a made up word with no meaning or utility.
Trans isnt a sexual orientation so it doesnt belong along side other orientations.
Therefore from now on I think im going to just refer to it as "LGB" which ill use for discussions about orientation. It might make sense to do "LGBP" to include pansexuals/poly people, as that too describes orientation.
Then maybe "TICN" for gender expression (Trans, Intersex, Crossdresser, and Nonbinary).
I think ill just start dropping these in conversations and use each distinctly different. The LGBTQ+ designation never really made much sense.
Then again maybe jsut "non-cis" and "non-straight" might just be more straight forward. But less likely to engage in useful conversation.
@freemo I thought that “queer” just meant either “not straight”, “straight ally”, or “I’m straight but I’m not one of THOSE straights, I’m one of the good ones”
@realcaseyrollins Queer doesnt mean anything objectively. Everyone who uses the term comes up with whatever definition they want and roles with it... the definition you describe im sure is one many would use, but its far from universal.
