it says write your answer, so i might be in wrong spot.... question, my uncle has been gay since as far back as i can remember (he would be in his 70s today). i recently used the word queer to discribe him. i got jumped on for using it. my uncle never had it issue with it, why is it suddenly so taboo?

Tbh idk. As a pansexual female I sometimes use queer and questioning to discribe my sexuality. I don't see anything wrong with it. It expresses everyone in the LGBTQIA+ community

How bad is it to trip up on pronouns? Like when I see someone born female and they introduce themselves as something other than she/her and my old lagging brain keeps crashing and refererring to them as she/her like how much understanding and or empathy exists with an average
LGBTQ person? Am I going to burn in flaming rainbows for this sin for all of eternity or will trans Jesus forgive me? It's so annoyingly embarrassing stumbling over it everytime I'm talking to or about a trans person but it's like my brain will not pick it up, it just won't stick! Also is it brutally insensitive of me to wish we could all just switch to one non-gender specific universal pronoun set so I don't have to relearn pronouns on an individual basis? How much on a scale of 1-10 does it hurt you personally when someone gets it wrong? Is it mildly annoying or slowly crushing your spirit everytime or causing instant psychological trauma? I have a non binary 12 year old and she's really understanding but 50% of the time I'm getting her friends pronouns wrong and it's kinda driving me crazy and I'm worried about having them over to visit because they're just kids and I don't want to like damage them or something. Is this happening to anyone else or is my brain just broken?

it’s ok to mess up on pronouns if you don’t mean to. if it helps call them by their preffered name until you get used to it. something that helps me sometimes if think of a person and thinking something like “i spoke to them the other day, their really kind” or something like that, just thinking about them and using their preffered pronouns can help :))
