If you are going to have literally no criteria for being queer, then how can you say that anyone isn't? How can you refer to any person in any context as cis/straight?
If someone tells me they’re queer I believe them. If someone tells me they’re straight I believe them. This isn’t that hard
What so like a cis het allo person can just call themselves queer now?
What problem, exactly, are you so concerned about? I don’t know if you’ve noticed but queerness is still very much marginalized, it’s not as “trendy” as people try to act, and straight people aren’t tripping over themselves to call themselves queer. And if you’re worried about being “tricked” by “infiltrators”, like, you know those people can just say that they’re gay? Like they can lie? They’re not going to try and “sabotage” queer spaces by saying “hey I don’t have any marginalized orientations or identities but I’m still totally queer”, they’d just say “hey I’m super gay, love people of the same gender”
What, concretely, are you worried about happening? What’s the worst thing that could happen due to inclusivity? Because the worst things that can happen due to gatekeeping are very well-known, and I’m much more scared of that
It’s less that it’s trendy and more like, I like having my queer-only spaces. Also queer is a bad word. All our words are bad words. They aren’t oppressed, and for a cishetallo to use a slur as their identity feels a little demeaning to me. Like I dont hate them of course but the A was never for Ally . It’s not queer to be normal
Interacting with them is cool and having them at pride I’m not opposed to but as a person who’s queer it does feel like they’re kinda dressing it up
Im gonna be honest Ive never seen people like that but like, I’m allowed to not like it
I’m not going to distrust and exclude people because of a problem you made up. If someone tells me they’re queer, I believe them
My feelings on this (as a queer person) are the same as my feelings on “transabled” people (as a disabled person): if someone feels that drawn to those things that it feels like a part of their identity, that it is something they Want To Be, there’s a REASON. Seriously. Nearly every allocishet person I’ve known who felt drawn to queer discovered their gender or sexuality was somehow “not normal” after some point.
And also like, I think we need to stop projecting this malice onto random allocishets. Like, “Oh what if they PRETEND TO BE QUEER TO HURT US”
Stop assuming that all allocishets are homophobic bigots. I know it’s a survival skill but it also genuinely harms us.
Most people *do not care* enough to put themselves in harm’s way (bc trust me, identifying openly as queer will expose them to harm) just to get one over on the queers.
Sharing space is nothing new. Sharing bathrooms is nothing new. The reactionary outrage is so manufactured.

There's only one real way to categorise disorders and it's when you google it and the first results fit into one or more of the following categories:
1. "Is your child-" "Does your child-" "How to cope with the burden of being a parent for-"
2. "How to get better: Step One: have a lot of money!" "How to get better: Step One: simply stop having it!"

[ID: a tweet from George Takei (@georgetakei) that reads “Haven’t cisgender folks been receiving ‘gender affirming’ therapies and treatments for decades? Boob jobs, testosterone boosters, all okay for cis people, right? Let’s be honest. These new laws are rooted in ignorance and bigotry toward trans people.” End ID]
