Just say "queer" you dumb bitch. All these acronyms are so exclusionary.
I do identify as queer and nothing more within the lgbt+ spectrum, thank you for noticing and being so observant! unless you know nothing about me and think Im just some sjw on tumblr. in the year 2026!? what are you, a time traveler from 2010?
for a lot of the queer people with more "complex" identities the queer community itself may not feel like as much of a place they get to be themselves, exclusion is rampant even within our own community. qai, liom, and mogai have thus grown to be something different from the queer community
its meant to be inclusive not just of more niche genders and sexualities, but also other non-normative aspects like nonhumanity, systemhood, kink, neurodivergence, and how these can affect one's structural identity to a similar level queer identities can while not necessarily being under the queer umbrella, because theyre not about being anything besides what being non-abiding to heteronormativity, cisnormativity, or amatonormativity encompasses (these all have wikipedia pages, theyre not that niche!)
i am a stick figure, I am a vampire and a knight, I am physically disabled and mentally ill, I am multiple people, you cannot possibly glean any of that just from me telling you Im queer alone
and yet you dont want me to switch to just "queer", your expectations of me is to not exist as myself at all, so you dont have to witness me as I am. despite queer as an ideology being vehemently against that, that is why you come to my inbox, no?
instead of asking about it respectfully, youve attempted to assert your dominance and "authority" over me by telling me how to act, being unwilling to learn, and calling me insults. so clearly you're not here to learn, but perhaps someone else would like to, and my explanation has sufficed.
tldr: dont tell me what to do and mind ya damn business if youre not willing to listen!
have the day you deserve, internet stranger under anonymous!
