Queer.
-
I thought it stood for "questioning."
-
...No?
-
Wikipedia says it can be either one.
-
Isn't that a slur for gay?
-
Historically, people have used it that way, but recently, the term has been [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queer]quite successfully reclaimed[/url] by people with fluid gender and sexual identities who use it as an umbrella term for a whole spectrum of identities that don't fit standard definitions or dichotomies. I consider myself a queer woman because of my bisexuality and the ways in which it affects the way I experience my gender identity.
-
I see. So you're not just bi?
-
Uh...well, yes, I am "just" bi. But that also falls under the "queer" label.
-
Despite it fitting a standard definition of bisexuality?
-
Well, firstly, gay/lesbian/bi people are free to identify as queer even if they're still cisgendered. But I just feel like the relationship between my orientation and my gender identity is slightly more complicated than that. I'm still cis but it's more complex than that to me.
-
Cisgendered: i dont even either Don't worry, I'll look it up.
-
I've since written a couple of fairly long explanations in other threads in Sapphire, if you want to save yourself some time.
