[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Correct. Most of these women will never have same sex experiences. You can't fake sexual desires. [b]At the same time no one can challenge their identification either. [/b]It's a weird phenomena among a certain type of young progressive women. But all progressives are lemmings and conformist, there is a clear status in their world attached to the LGBT+ whatever alphabet. So are we surprised to see these women take advantage of this clever loophole allowing themselves to "self-identify" as queer or non binary? After all, progressivism is defined by belief, not truth, so you might as well make up any "truth" you want and go for it. [/quote]

DP. Why would you want to challenge it? What’s it to you how they identify?

And “take advantage of this clever loophole”? Loophole for what? What would they be trying to gain in this current environment?[/quote]
