I’m a radical inclusionist. I don’t think I have any right to tell anyone else what queerness is or how they’re allowed to experiment with their own identity. “Infiltrators” are a completely negligible problem, respectability politics is bullshit, and any downside of just trusting people with their own experiences is enormously outweighed by the problems caused by gatekeeping
Just mind your own business, I promise it’s okay
The queer community faces so many actual problems and people coining new identity terms isn’t one of them. Besides, language around queer identity has changed so much throughout history and is neved the same across all cultures. And it’s going to keep changing. If you can’t accept that, tough luck. You aren’t going to make everybody conform to your idea of acceptable queerness by stomping your feet and throwing tantrums on your discourse blog.
