As a transhet person, I find it important for a word like "queer" to exist. Not all LGBT people are gay, or even a sexual/romantic minority, and "LGBT" (and its variants) are a mouthful in spoken conversation, so "queer" is a great umbrella.

What does queer mean then?

"Queer" can refer to anybody who is not both cisgender and heterosexual.

I dont mean to ask something if it’s to private, but 1) what is your biological sex 2) what do gender do you identify with most 3) what are your pronouns and 4) what sex are you attracted to?
