Despite everything, it's still 
but not for long lolI've long believed that the crucial advantage of the term "queer" over the acronyms is that it acknowledges that diversity is not something you can exhaustively enumerate. we must be always prepared to embrace diversity that we hadn't considered before. this is the most consistent inclusivity
Serendipity@lewdum I understand/like your point except that "queer" also has a negative connotation to me, a cis woman. Why should anyone be considered odd or be defined by a "peculiar" label?
Morgan ⚧️@evewrites @lewdum the usage of queer by queer people is a *celebration* of difference. Yeah, we're different, and that's awesome because conformity is boring!
Offense at being called different is assimilationism, which never works. The only way to assimilate into cisheteropatriarchy is to be cishet and obey gender roles. Otherwise fascists *will* hate you no matter what you do.

@evewrites also you didn't specify whether you'd be included under the queer label, just that you're cis. Obviously you don't have to disclose your sexuality, but if you're also not gay or lesbian or ace or bi etc, I encourage you to mind your own business.
