I already touched on that on my previous posts.
Okay, you think this is about being a special snowflake and all of that. Fair enough. That's a good assumption to make. However, this is more about feeling that you don't fit anywhere in the spectrum of terms that we have already. Henceforth, pomosexuality hits home with me, in all honesty. I do present myself in a certain way, as I said, as a gay man. However, sometimes I just wish I didn't have to say I was. It's all anecdotal, but the pesudo-intellectual thinking of pomosexuality lies in Carrol and Sheen's
book.
That's where the whole thing began.
Queer hits home too. Very similar to Pomosexuality, but I think that for Pomosexuality is more about "F labels" - to a certain degree, than Queer is (which is an umbrella term). It's a more radical way of thinking about labels.However, I am often reluctant to use queer in every day because of its past negative connotations. I'm reluctant to refer to my LGBTQIA+ peers as Queer, unless they have said it's okay.
As far as the special snowflake part. I don't know, I cringe when I see this. Mostly because it seems dismissive in the sense that I've heard this before when we are making up new words and terms for something we didn't before. Especially in human sexuality, and people will always cry "you just want to be a special snowflake!"
To which I say,
the situation is a lot more nuanced than that.
