@fugi@zenmaya hm. i think this reasoning dissatisfies me, because the reasoning that "it is very loosely defined and therefore likely not a useful term" (if that was what you were trying to say) can be applied to lots of things: "lesbian" for example. i mean, you could likely write an entire book about the discussions about the term, and where its inclusivity begins or ends. "heterosexual" is also defined extremely weirdly throughout the world, but has better definitions in queer circles. but i would not say that these terms aren't useful. we give them meaning through context and our own experiences and conversational intentions. words are just made up
