I'll never understand how Q made it into the official lexicon and F was suddenly too horrendous to speak. My gay friends called themselves F's. I called them F's. But queer was insulting, off the table.
Queer smells of it's original meaning, there's something off about you, something wrong with you.
Yeah, it makes me feel othered and stigmatised. I know that some LGBT+ people identify with that term and they can do what they like, but for me it still feels exclusionary and judgemental.
