Sometimes i feel like younger queer kids are getting a bit to bold with openly talking to people they don’t know In The Context Of:
More than once i have had a younger/same age queer person come up to me in public settings and say something about “finding other gays” or clearly clocking me as nonbinary and I’m like :)))))))) hey buddy I’m here with my conservative parents can you fucking not out me :))))))))
Just say you like my outfit or hair and move on, fuck even tell me you like my shoelaces. Don’t call me gay and limp your wrist at me when you don’t even know me? Especially when there’s a bunch of ppl around?
i was out with my ex once when three *very* young queer kids, like thirteen years old, came up to us and asked us “are you guys, you know…” and did the limp wrist thing at us. one of them loudly exclaimed that it was so cool to meet other queer people in real life. this was in public in an unbelievably conservative area - we didn’t even feel safe holding hands because we were surrounded by Mormons. we got lucky that day, but I’m begging y’all to remember that the world doesn’t work like the internet. other queers are real fuckin people. don’t do this shit. OP is right; tell me you like my jacket, or my patches, or the rainbow spokes on my wheelchair, but don’t out either of us!
iima: not to be Old, but the limp wrist thing was an insult (gestural slur?) until very VERY recently and honestly I still feel like throwing up a little when I see strangers do it. It’s awesome folks are reclaiming it, but please be aware that for anyone much over, say, 25 or 30 (a guess) that has a strong chance of coming off as aggressively homophobic — like “faggot” it’s probably best to hold back until you know your audience, y’know? So walking up to a stranger (who might not be spending all their time on social media, for example, and therefore not be aware it’s being reclaimed by Kids These Days) and doing that is not only potentially outing a stranger, it could be upsetting or even terrifying. In other words, the opposite of what you’re going for.

Others have said it better and more eloquently, but the LGBT community has a massive fear and disgust of masculinity it needs to reckon with in order to be whole. Bears, transmascs, masculine enbies, AMAB enbies, butch lesbians, masc intersex folk, drag kings, and those who find themselves in some fluid space between them or are masc in ways I’ve left out - they all need support from the LGBT community, they all have the same traumas from being queer, and all of them that I’ve met have some horror story about hitting the ‘must be this femme to ride’ bar.
You can be gnc and masculine. This needs to be embraced.
Masculine people are not the enemy. The community needs to be as ready to embrace its brothers as it is its sisters. We are all queer.
