lots of ppl forget queer is a slur and that straight people shouldn't use it (ex: if your friend identifies as queer you can simply say they're "in the lgbtq community")

rant? aheadthere's also debate abt if all wlw should be able to say the d-slur, however it is not my place to talk on it. my opinions don't over power the opinions of the lesbians who do believe that it is not a sapphic word but a specifically Lesbian word. however,

while this is valid it ≠ trans!! a CIS man who wants to use they/xe pronouns is super cool!!!! but bc they self identify as a man, then they don't meet the definition of transgender.

but good news!! if u dont identify with ur assigned gender at birth (agab) ur trans! fuck it up, tranny, yass tranny!
EX: someone is born “female” & assigned “girl” @ birth, but this makes them uncomfy or dysphoric. they feel better being acknowledged as enby = tranny :)
