Had a dream about Chronic Illness Cat teaching about Radqueers and candy? I don't ID as radqueer and genuinely I do find some of the identities offensive such as people who claim to have disorders they don't, especially misunderstood or stigmatized ones. But. BUT. It's also not my business what other people identify as and so long as they aren't actually hurting anyone I just opt to ignore that kind of thing. Like I respect people even though I have some grievances with the movement. Like. If you have BIID and want to be disabled that's not really my problem nor is it your fault for having that disorder and if you want to make an identity around it I'll respect that decision. My only issue is when this "trans-disorder" status is used to talk about said disorder or disability like one actually has it, in a somewhat political way. I draw the line where people start to create and promote misinfo about medical problems and historical issues like racism or antisemitism. Like if someone claims to have a disability I do and then publicly announces what symptoms it has even though these are not in fact the symptoms of this disability. Otherwise, I couldn't really care less. If someone is mildly offensive it is their problem and not mine. If I have a problem with someone personally I'll just block them. But I know a few radqueers and they're pretty cool people.
Basically, you do you. I have enough openness not to give a shit unless and until it becomes a problem. In which case like with all people I'll speak out if I feel the need to.
