Anyone else feel oppressed by the Q-slur and feel that its widespread use harms LGBT rights more than it helps? It feels like every LGBT-adjacent “safe space” isn’t safe for those affected by the Q-sl (kbin.social)

Anyone else feel oppressed by the Q-slur and feel that its widespread use harms LGBT rights more than it helps? It feels like every LGBT-adjacent “safe space” isn’t safe for those affected by the Q-slur, especially on Pride Month.

I don't, and I personally like Q as description. But I do think it's one of the risk of trying to "reclaim" a slur. It's empowering for some but hurtful to others. I'm sorry it's upsetting to you, and hope you find some space where you feel comfortable.
