SO when people say things like "slash fans are appropriating queer experience", what THE MAJORITY OF SLASHERS, WHO IDENTIFY AS QUEER hear is either "you aren't queer enough, your queer identity isn't real" or "male voices are the only ones qualified to speak for the queer community."
...thank you.
Thank you so much for saying that. I've been vaguely following this--more or less involuntarily considering the contents of my various friendslists/circles--but I wasn't able to articulate how it made me feel.
As a bisexual woman, I already get 'you're not queer enough, you're just a slut/you're just playing/you're straddling the fence so you don't get hurt.' So this ... really resonates.
