Yeah. And I mean to be clear, I myself am totally over it and fine, and I think that's pretty common. But then I also think there's probably interesting stuff to be teased out in the comparison between how we in the community treat these different terms, and could shed some light on the eternally vexed question of how much "queer is a slur" is based on actual trauma (definitely to some degree) and how much it's a combination of assimilationist anxiety about queer politics, to phrase it perhaps uncharitably, and biphobia and transphobia within the community.
