26.11.2024 04:58 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Just bc it's a western word doesn't mean it's a western concept, not every person has the privilege of having access to their language to otherwise describe it. Queerness has been a thing since time immemorial
26.11.2024 02:40 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Wait y'all do know queer as in the reclaimed term in leftist circles, right??? Like that it's an empowerment thing??? And a resistance to heteronormative binaries??? It's not /only/ an umbrella term, there's actual history behind its move from a slur to common use/an identity
26.11.2024 01:28 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0In a lot of spaces it's understood as a descriptor of sexuality/romantic attraction that falls outside of dominant Western understandings. That's how I, and a lot of my friends, use it at least. Like the political, reclaimed term that it is
