queer terminology twitter discourse is always somehow both maximally annoying and irritating while also being over just completely inconsequential shit. it& #39;s just 19 year olds being gender cops online

I& #39;ve been called a dyke a bunch and get the special kind of street harassment you get when people think you& #39;re a lesbian and I& #39;ve known cis bi people and straight trans people who have been called f*ggot. no bigot stops to politely clarify your identity before yelling at you lol

Also not saying you can& #39;t have your own feelings or disagree with me on this stuff, it& #39;s very complicated and personal, but I wish there was more solidarity and empathy vs policing
