I'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
@lewdum I like to describe myself as "queer" because like hell am I going to even attempt to explain my gender to the average person who's just gonna look at me like I'm weird lmfao
But I'm also not gay, and spitting out a tongue twister of letters is an annoying amount of effort. "Queer" says everything about me in exactly one syllable and says nothing more than needs to be said so the conversation can just move on.
but not for long lol
