... I realized I do this too. Whether in straight or queer spaces, I am always careful about which parts I mention, especially irl. Pretty much everyone "knows" I'm a lesbian. Most people don't know I'm ace, or genderqueer, or technically bi. And part of that is not wanting to explain every time, and part of that is not wanting to have to deal with people who think being ace isn't a legitimate queer identity, or truscum who think I'm not trans enough. And I know that one of the people in the local queer youth group I used to go to was both, so. Good thing I didn't say anything, huh. :|
