“But when people say queer people are obsessed with labels, or “I’m not cis; I’m normal”, what they’re almost certainly taking issue with is non-cisheteronormativity being recognized and validated.” - Umechan
I think younger queer people are obsessed with labels, and I am not taking issue with non cishet people being recognized and validated. And I’m pretty confident that’s a frequent and normal mindset. You keep taking about other, more radical, obviously trans or homophobic statements, but we’re not talking about any of that. Just labels.
It’s one thing to say that there are a lot of labels used, and you find some of them either dubious or unneccessary,
Yes, and that is the one thing I am saying. Not “I’m not cis, I’m normal”. Not “people are obsessed or making up labels for attention.” Not “I’ve never heard of it nor do I understand it, therefore it’s not real.” Not “they’re attention seeking, deluded, or mentally ill.”
I don’t know who you’re arguing with here, but it ain’t me.
I had a whole rant about how I’ve been involved in the queer space since I was seven, and how insulting it is to be subtly called a bigot, but it’s not worth it. You want to argue with a bigot and by god if you can’t find one you’ll pretend I am one. This is a pointless discussion.
