More and more, I prefer just using queer, because all the hairsplitting has always seemed kind of arbritary (and even restrictive) to me.

Nayrt but same. I liked the simple elegance of a word that meant yes, I'm sexually attracted to my own gender, but without worrying about the "are you bi or lesbian? what percent bi? exactly where on the Kinsey scale?" game.

Though I feel like increasingly people are using queer to mean identities completely unrelated to sexual orientation... oh well, c'est la vie..

I've been coming around to that actually as a result of listening to the "Queer as Fact" podcast, which has had some especially interesting discussions about identity whilst discussing historical figures such as Pauli Murray and Chevalier d'Eon, and the sometimes volatile issue of transgender persons. For me "queer" feels like an overarching term that does encompass a lot of things, but I think that's okay? I feel as though that might lead to more representations of queer men and women that isn't centered on who they are (or aren't) attracted to or sleep with.
