yeah, sometimes I don't feel like I can claim that, since it's not an as historically oppressed group as LGBT, and I am otherwise relatively privileged
Historically we didnt have the language to describe our collective experiences like we do now. Give it time, they'll find ways to oppress us like they oppress our trans siblings. Whether that's labeling us as mentally ill, "undesirables" to be exterminated, socially unfit for society, or all three.
I mean, many already react that way when shown what theriantrophy is or how some of us choose to express themselves; That is, if we're not confused with furries
That said, I made this statement less in the historical meaning of queer, and more in the meaning of 'rejecting the norm', I guess?
Sexual as in intimate and pleasurable especially in relation to others, not sexual as in… well, necessarily involving sex.
To reject something as inherent and evident as the body you were given at birth… It’s a vulnerable act, but it’s freeing.
