[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]LGBT doesn't mean anything anymore. I'm willing to bet the vast majority these are straight girls claiming to be "queer" [/quote] This is an under discussed trend --straight women in hetero relationships announcing they are bi or queer. For some people, not confirming to gender norms in expression is considered queer. So a straight, cisgender woman in a hetero relationship might declare herself queer if she wears her hair short and wears menswear (even if she also wears a makeup and is identifiably a woman). Young people have been using identifications like this to convey their politics and social outlook. It's not dissimilar to the way someone in the 80s might have conveyed their social status or education via a wine hobby or interest in international travel. [/quote]
