I prefer terms like queer or SAGA, but as a privileged white guy who is mostly straight and mostly cis I listen to the community on what they want to be called and call them that.

Nah, the non-shitlibs tend to prefer 'queer'.

You'd get your head kicked in round my neck for saying queer. YMMV.

'I'm queer'?

I have been known to use the f slur for myself, so I figure i shouldn't worry about that.

Sorry I mean, if you refer to yourself as queer then obviously not an issue at all, but I'm saying if you call other people queer, depending on where you are (specifically non USA), people will very possibly take that as derogatory. The word hasn't been fully recovered yet imo.

I am in the united States. Maybe that's more regional?
