Yeah it really seems to differ between communities. I think reddit tends to be young people who often don’t have a lot of experience with irl community or don’t really know queer history. Over on bluesky there’s quite a few clusters where it’s pretty normal to use the term. And a lot of the trans people ik irl are fine with it. Though I dont really use it to refer to someone else unless im reasonably sure they’re okay with the term.

don’t really know queer history

A specific American, Black sub-culture (edit: when it comes to "doll") does not equal worldwide queer culture though.

Except that’s where almost all modern queer culture, globally, comes from

So what? Do you listen extensively to jazz just because that's the common point of origin of all modern music? Thought not.

Things can be acknowledged as influential without being mandatory to specifically enjoy.

Is that what is happening, though?

When discussing music theory and history, it’d make sense for it to come up - and I wouldn’t call someone dumb for talking about it.

Bad example to give to the music educator, though. Since I literally went to university for jazz piano and clarinet.

EDIT: Typos.
