This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

If everyone just embraced being queer, everything would be ok. Sex and relationships can barely survive identity politics, old school or new.

fwiw the 'queer' women in my life have been the most judgemental of my sexuality. i guess if you agonize about your own sexuality all the time you project that onto other folks though.

I'm sure this isn't universal but every self identified queer person I've met or dated has made it their entire personality.

That's probably not a coincidence, as the label "queer" is a political identity statement. That is, the people who have made it an important part of their personality are the ones who self-identify that way. I've known many gay men and women for whom their sexuality is an incidental part of their lives, and none of them feel affinity for the "queer" label.

Well, if you insist, bud, but you'll need to update those labels when we're done. ⚔⚔ /j
