how 100 queers described themselves in 1997

from "My Gender Workbook" by Kate Bornstein

the two reasons I'm sharing this:

1. sometimes the queer community seems so pointlessly divided and feels the need to put each other down, under the guise of righteousness. this is an especially common thing I see in lesbian spaces, as someone who is one. in my opinion if you're anything other than cis/het, but are somehow still prejudiced against other queer identities, including contradictory ones, you're failing everyone and even yourself with your infighting. we need more vibes like the ones below instead of people who faint when butches have body hair or some other stupid shit

2. it's interesting as fuck
