I don’t think its coincidental that a lot of the people pushing for a reclaiming of “queer” as an umbrella term are those who only ever partner with those of the opposite sex or in general are female. You can’t look at a slur that violent and think “yes, I would like to call myself that because its beautiful and means I’m different xD” unless you are someone who has no concept of its usage and/or no capacity for empathy for those who disagree with what you are doing. The people who have the most violent memories of it being used to harm them are overwhelmingly gay men. Their discomfort with its use is overlooked almost every single time and I wouldn’t be surprised if its because new “queer” rhetoric involves saying that gay men, particularly white ones, regardless of where or when they grew up or have lived, have someone had perfect lives of utmost privilege and excess and that they deserve no help, consideration, or attention for any reason. 
Even as someone who has had bulldyke used against me with more frequency than queer ever has been, its a vile word. I’ve gotten physically shaky over other LGBTQ folks (presumably) in my class using it in discussions and I’m too scared to call them out. Especially when there’s homophobic kids in class. What am I supposed to do? Risk pushing away the only other people who share some of my other opinions? Who have the commonality of not being straight? I wish that I could speak up because I deserve it, and all the other closeted and silenced LGBT folks who are uncomfortable with “queer” deserve it. I get that some people are privileged enough to grow up in areas where it will never be used against them as a slur. Does it fuck me up a little that my straight roommate from Texas knows of it only as a slur and won’t use it because she knows its harmful but the gay man from the East Coast from one of my classes literally Facebook messaged me to ask, just casually, why I don’t like the word? Yeah, it does.
Slurs can be reclaimed on the basis of individuals, within communities. You will never, ever, be able to reclaim a slur as an umbrella term and not isolate everyone in your community who doesn’t want to be called it. I’m sorry for everyone hurt by that word that now has to see it forcibly applied to them. I am sorry for every LGBT person who has been forcibly labeled with it post-mortem, especially for those ones who had it used to their abuse during their lives. They don’t deserve this anymore than the rest of us.

stop calling lesbian woman queer 

i’ve never seen anyone is this website call a gay or bissexual men queer but with woman is always queer guess what it wouldn’t hurt to call lesbian woman lesbian that what we are stop erasing that

people insist in calling lesbians anything but lesbians and it’s awful bc young lesbians are already scared enough to call themselves lesbians and it makes so much harder for us to be proud of something people seem to avoid even saying the name it makes us feel invisible and ashamed

lesbians aren’t voldemort we MUST be named we exist we refuse to be invisible and it’s time for us to be seen
