i just feel weird that we were kinda joking and fooling around in regards to the characters being queer and she's like "we cannot deny the heterosexual pairings in the end" and it's kinda like... yeah, obviously?

Her exact words are "if we do not know how someone self-identifies, it is fair to identify them within a category hundreds of years later, a category that did not exist then and in which they possibly would not even understand?"

We're reading "Twelfth Night" and we were calling it queer and she said, "it does not necessarily mean that, if they feel desire for a character of the same gender, then they are necessarily queer" and I'm not trying to attack I just genuinely don't understand???

Wtf is he talking about, queer people aren't new. Do they think calling Sappho queer is problematic too
-
Probably? because those terms didn't exist back then, I think is the point

Professors like this make me so bored

YEAH like we were literally fooling around in regards to Sebastian and Olivia and another student and the professors had to be like "well we shouldn't say they're queer bc ultimately they marry straight" and it's like well yeah but that's no fun for me

The word queer as we use it didn't exist but us as a people for sure did, just like trans ppl existed before the terminology. I get that they may have meant that in a more cultural context in relations to "queer" identity, but no.

I think they don't want use to use like gay or straight or whatever? Like she kept repeating that we shouldn't label them
