What I like to think of being queer goes like this:
The first rule of Queer Club, is you have to want to be a member.
The second rule of Queer Club is *there are no more fucking rules*.
No one gets to tell someone whether that person is "queer enough", or any other identity. Anyone who tries to fundamentally misunderstands queerness.
We are rejecting the tying of identity to social roles or behaviour. We reject hierarchical rules of who may use what parts of their body with another consenting peer.
So we necessarily must reject gatekeeping. And "you're not IDENTITY_X enough." For who among us semi-outcasts has the right to insist that some sibling *must conform*?
Fuck no. That's not queerness. That's just sparkling faux rebellion.
