“Don’t call yourself queer because it’s unspecific and my mental picture of a ‘queer person, is bad”

FOH. Yeah leftist means a lot of shit but it doesn’t make it a bad term. If you ask a self proclaimed “leftist” to clarify and they can’t, that’s the issue, not the fact that they uttered “leftist.”

No. I'm sorry that the author is:

extremely wary of conventionally attractive white men who have lots of money and followers…because, duh. I’m not sorry for having that attitude, and it won’t be going away anytime soon. In fact, the world would probably be a much better place if more people had this purview.

One, thank you for calling me conventionally attractive. And two, no. I sit on the political left of liberalism. So I will usurp the slur "leftist" as a label for myself as I want.

But enjoy your own bad self with or without my blessing, sister.
