What a load of pretentious horse shit. Some of the things listed are just common sense and a willingness to look outside of one's self.

Queers understand that people have different relationships to their bodies.

Gee, a close-minded homosexual like me could have never picked up on something so complex!

I'm a pretty close-minded homosexual and therefore (I'm relieved find out) I'm not queer.

Some remarks:

A queer can view promiscuous (protected) public bathhouse sex with strangers and complete abstinence as equally healthy.

Why "protected" hmmmmm? Isn't queer theory about transgression? One way to be transgressive is to have unprotected promiscuous sex a la Treasure Island Media. One thing is for sure, monogamous pair-bonding is bad because it upholds cisheteronormativity and "kyriarchy".

We don't expect one person to be able to fulfill all our diverse needs ... we only want the freedom to be ourselves ... It means "I am naming myself."

I can't help but go on a religious tangent. Sweaty, there is no "self" to name. Your "self" is empty. Egoistic "fulfillment" is empty and chasing it only prolongs the cycling of Samsara. True fulfillment is obtained only through commitment, to others and to the discipline of the self. OK I'll get off my soap box now.

I'm so glad I'm "just" a lesbian.

Queerness, to me, is about far more than homosexual attraction

Some might say it has nothing to do with homosexual attraction.

it’s about a willingness to see all other taboos broken down.

Actually, I’m fine with a lot of taboos staying in place—incest, pedophilia, cannibalism, etc. There are very good reasons we don’t abide by certain things in society.

though what is sex?

The gametes you produce. There are only two options.

And what is gender?

A linguistic classification system that’s integral to many Indo-European languages. However, it’s also come to be a stand in for sex-based stereotypes lately.

A queer person is usually someone who has come to a non-binary view of gender, who recognized the validity of all trans identities, and who, given this understanding of infinite gender possibilities, finds it hard to define their sexuality any longer in a gender-based way.

Oddly enough, every queer person will be either heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, or asexual. As we’re a sexually dimorphic species, it is mathematically impossible to have more than 4 sexual orientations as a whole.

Because we want to survive, we fight.

Who is trying to kill you in Western society? Name literally anyone.

We only want the freedom to be ourselves, love each other, love each other, and live together. Because we are routinely denied that, we are pissed.

Show me who’s denying you that and how. LGB people not wanting to associate with you isn’t an infringement upon your rights. Us not liking you appropriating our identities isn’t an assault. People thinking you’re kooky and leaving you alone isn’t abuse.

Well, I'm glad to hear they disassociate queerness from being gay!

The only thing we agree on!

A queer person is … someone who, given this understanding of infinite gender possibilities, finds it hard to define their sexuality any longer in a gender-based way.

So close but so far away. Maybe the author can’t define their attraction based on “gender” because attraction is based on sex! Always has been! “Gender presentation” literally means nothing except for changing your haircut and changing your clothes. That doesn’t change sexual attraction and never will.

Also an obligatory ITS OK TO BE BISEXUAL! Being attracted to both sexes (or infinite genders 🤮) doesn’t make you an enlightened queer, it just means you’re bisexual.

Gender woo woo has to end at some point right? I don’t know if I can deal with a lifetime of this drivel.

It's about a willingness to see all other taboos broken down.

And of course that includes paedophilia, zoophilia, getting your dick out and filming ourself having a walk in women's change rooms and toilets, wearing fetish clothing in public...

In other words: I'm an attention seeker.

Edited just to laugh at how I just realised this literally means "I know no one knows what I mean by this word and it's the point actually" 😂

But if you ask them questions, you're a hateful jerk who is pestering them and "it's not my job to educate you".

What q***r means to me

It clearly means you don't know what paragraph breaks are. This is unreadable on a practical level let alone weeding through the pseudo-intellectual/academic drivel.
