A superiority complex? Oh wait, you said a legitimate reason. Nvm.

if you honestly couldn’t follow that paragraph because it uses third-person pronouns, it might be time for a third-grade english refresher.

Yeah. Queer folx can be shitty abusers too. I mean...duh.

don’t do this, this isn’t an attack on Ben - it’s an attack on NB identity and sexual fluidity.

Way to shit on queer kids & transfemmes for no reason.

bc queer kids need this stuff. too bad the band turned out to be the complete opposite of what they’ve claimed :/

So it is still considered a slur by many older members of the community, but not so much for younger people, though that can vary by region and individual experiences, like anything else.

Fuck off. This is transphobic derailing.

“you’ve never, not once ever, doodled a swastika”

ok, reddit

Yeah buddy! That’s the important part of this article about an alleged sexual predator/abuser; my god these terms are scary!

It can certainly still be hurled as an insult and I’m old enough to remember hearing it that way, myself.

No. I identify as “queer”.

oh shut up and fuck off

There’s debate about it. In my experience, younger folks tend to see it as a blanket term that avoids excluding groups and is neater than the alphabet soup acronym. Older folks tend to not want it to be used as a blanket term because of its history as a slur. I use LGBTQ to be safe but basically there’s no consensus

Many assault victims are understandably not comfortable contacting police and would prefer a speaking with a social worker, counselor, advocate, etc.

lol at “we are currently looking for a mediator with the necessary qualifications” - pretty sure that’s called “the police”.
