If you thought that the “Q” for “queer” in LGBTQ+ was an umbrella term for all sorts of people who don’t consider themselves heterosexual — you’re apparently wrong.
“Queer” isn’t just a personal identity, it’s a political identity according to an unidentified TikTok user in a video.
“I will no longer call a person queer if I don’t see them participating in Queer Politik,” she says.
“You’re gay — sure, you’re gay, but that is not the same as ‘queer.’ If you haven’t put a mask on in a week… not queer. You’re just not queer. You’re not,” she explains.
“Queerness is supposed to be radical,” she adds, “It’s supposed to be about supporting each other, helping each other, and making sure, like, we lift up from the most vulnerable of our community.
“A lot of you gays are not acting like queers right now, so I’m not going to call you queer,” concludes the androgynous-looking woman.
The word “queer” used to be used as a sort of slur until it was “reclaimed” by some under the LGBT+ umbrella.
Which begs the question: if queer is a political identity and not a sexuality. Why is it a uniquely protected class?

Weird that obeying ridiculous public health diktats makes you “radical” now.
Greg, who shared the video asks an important question there — if “queer” is a political identity and not a sexuality, then why is it considered a protected class?
If political identity is now protected, then shouldn’t the same protections extend to the America First or the Ultra/Mega/Super/Extreme MAGA crowd?
But we know that that isn’t — and will never be — the case because “protected classes” are supposed to be based on inherent traits like race, gender, and sexual orientation that cannot be changed. Political affiliation can and does change.
So, why is “Queer” identity, an expressly political affiliation protected?
In an article titled “Queer As A Political Identity” on the blog Her Campus, Sierra Moore wrote that although she had embraced her own “queerness”, she didn’t realize what it actually meant until she “was educated” and “did the work” by… attending the indoctrination camp that is the modern college classroom.
On the first day of my Queer theory class, I was asked what my definition of Queer was, as was most of the class, and as we shared, there was one piece no one could properly articulate. That piece was about how Queer is not just a sexuality but a political ideology focused on the liberation of all oppressed groups.
While most people in the LGBTQIAA+ community may immediately assume the community would agree on most things, especially politically, that is simply not the case; to be gay, bi, a lesbian does not dictate your political affiliations being Queer however does.

James Lindsay, one of the academics that duped the academic journals with ridiculous hoax papers like “Dog Park Rape Culture” and Mein Kampf as a feminist manifesto, has been digging into the roots of the Social Justice movements — Critical Race Theory and Queer Theory.
He calls Queer Theory cult-like and explains how it has the same characteristics of Gnosticism — matter is evil and salvation can only come through the acquiring of special spiritual knowledge (gnosis).

Queer Theory is a cult doctrine. The cult could be called Queer Gnosticism. Drag queens in front of children are an initiation rite into that cult.

A thread by Twitter user “Wokal Distance” explains why the term is so important for the activist left and includes a great reminder at the end.

This is important."Queer" is not a catch all term for people (like effeminate men, tomboys, lesbians, gays,etc) who are different from your typical heterosexual.
In Social Justice academic literature "queer" is an explicitly political term.
Let me explain what mean…. https://t.co/vylvudZY6I

To understand why the woke built a political identity around being "queer" you have to know that woke Social Justice is obsessed with power dynamics.According to wokeness if one person has more power then another person that this power imbalance is a horrible injustice.

According to woke theory anyone who is not "CIS" (that is, a typical masculine straight male, or feminine straight female) is oppressed by society. Why?Well, according to the woke all of society has been structured, created, and built by straight white hetersexual males…

As such, they think the whole of society, including all of the "discourses" (the way concepts, ideas, and such are communicated, discussed, debated, and talked about) has been set up to make Straight, white heterosexual people the norm by which everyone else is judged.— Wokal Distance (@wokal_distance) December 29, 2022

to adopt a political identity, "queer" based on their awareness of their oppression.In other words, the woke want anyone who is not "cis" to join together and form an identity group called "queer," and then use identity politics to agitate for woke political ideology.

The woke tell everyone who is not "cis" that they are oppressed by society and to see themselves as victims. Then, they tell people that the way to "liberate" themselves is to agitate for woke ideology using identity politics.The theory is complex, but on the ground….

When you see the word "queer" when it is used by activists talking about oppression and inequality and such, remember that it is a term that is *not* neutral. It has a very specific meaning as it has been defined by woke activists, and you need to be careful when you…— Wokal Distance (@wokal_distance) December 29, 2022

they have not adopted the definition of "queer" that is used by the radical activists trying to rip apart our society.Give normal people grace.

Not everyone is steeped in Queer Theory (Thank God!) but that doesn’t mean that the language hasn’t been adopted. That’s precisely why the androgynous woman had to make the video… she had to explain what “queer” really meant to people who are using it incorrectly.
No wonder the left hates Libs of Tik Tok so much… all she does is hold up a mirror and show what Libs are posting to each other. They just don’t want the rest of us to see it.
