Lmfao ramblings of a doofus

You're not talking in caricatures or vaguely gesturing broadly. You're creating a strawman.

None of that is real and then the question becomes two for, why the hell are you calling it queer theory or gay agenda or gender ideology. Because you're fucked by propaganda.

Second part, how do you say all this and not question the current "sTrAiGhT tHeOrY" existence we live

why the hell are you calling it queer theory

I'm calling it queer theory because that's what it's called. It's where terms like "heteronormative" come from. Much of it is about the relationship between social norms, or just what's common, and non-normative individuals, with a particular focus on sexual and gender minorities. And it, indeed, does not look too kindly on gender essentialism because that would mean erasure of non-binary gender experiences. Also because queer theorists don't like normativity which essentialism boils down to in practice, in one way or the other.

I am, broadly speaking, a huge fan of it. If I were to critique it... well, it isn't neuroqueer theory. I like the name though, "queer" should IMHO also apply to neurodivergent people. Can we get a letter? N is free, isn't it?

"gay agenda", "gender ideology" are terms you randomly introduced into the conversation.

Second part, how do you say all this and not question the current “sTrAiGhT tHeOrY” existence we live

You mean... heteronormativity? The kind of shit that queer theory analyses? Also there's plenty of queer straights around. Like, aces exist, trans folks exist. Enbies can also be straight.

Kid reads Tumblr and has Internet access, thinks he knows anything. You're on the Internet too much and it is showing, you do not engage in any sort of academic setting

You literally speak of these characters as if they're real people and that's how they really act. Spewing words like queer theory and gender ideology. People are fuckin hilarious
