yeah i think that's good if you wanna talk about both, and each individually if you wanna talk about... each individually, since they're very distinct things that society really needs to learn to start dividing already

"quiltbag" is my favorite one just because it's fun to say even though i only know like 2 people that use it

"queer" usually works too but of course a lot of people are a bit averse to it for obvious reasons (and meanwhile i'm still trying to come to terms with the fact that it even accurately describes me at all, but that's probably not specific to that one word)

i mean i think it's fine if they say things like "queer community," since it's... what it is, it's become more than a reclaimed term it's now the primary "thing it's called" if that makes sense.

probably don't want to say it by itself though, like "they're a queer" or "are you queer"

perfect sense, yup

i'm just timid and i don't like to smooth over what's easier to just not wrinkle in the first place. It feels safer to call folks what they call themselves.

like "james"

it means a lot of things to a lot of people right? it could be an encapsulating term for all lgtb+ people. or specifically referring to sexuality, or gender, or both. I haven’t heard it used in a pejorative sense for a long time, but of course tone and context are important otherwise

sophia park's new game/VN/thing subserial network is out now (currently a humble monthly exclusive but available everywhere in september i think?). it's a very queer and yospos-y thing that i was lucky to get to playtest last month

also it has an extremely good soundtrack made by a good friend of mine (who is also ~*~*~*a goon*~*~*~). check it out

I've used it, but I will say I'd probably not like the sound of it coming out of a non-queer's mouth. Would feel kind of mocky.

as a "non-queer" (yikes) i wish i could make you laugh IRL and put you at ease. i wish i could contradict your expectation of hostility from all non-queer people.

Not hostility. Just casual ignorance and indifference, not thinking about the ways your words can hurt other people.

yeah most people really do mean well, they just often have no experience dealing with this sorta thing and don't really know what to do.

they also kinda tend to overcompensate sometimes to "prove" they're ok with you, that's fun. like when my (60-something year old) dad found out about my wife being trans he pointed out that he worked with someone who recently transitioned and was cool with it, which was fine, but i guess to prove he was cool with it he kept going and talked about how he thought she looked great and that she was "a very attractive woman" which was just super awkward, thanks dad
