genderqueerpositivity:
Here is your regularly scheduled reminder:
Queer is a whole and complete identity in itself.
Queer is an identity with a rich and complex history.
Queer people do not have to further clarify or explain their identities unless they choose to.
You are not owed the specific details of a queer persons identity if the person doesn’t want to share those details with you.
Literally, demanding that a person share details about their gender and/or sexuality that they aren’t ready to share (or may not have even figured out yet) because not knowing makes you “uncomfy” is invasive, creepy, and entitled as fuck.
Coming out as queer is perfectly valid–and no less significant or important than coming out as lesbian or gay is.
People who identity only as queer are every bit as much a part of our communities as lesbian and gay people are.
Discourse about a queer person’s identity and whether or not a queer person is “reALly LgBT” or not is queerphobia. Full stop.
