Just because bad actors can take advantage of a more expansive idea of privilege and victimhood does not mean it's a bad thing. If anything, it exposes those who take advantage as exactly the type of people the article is talking about. Although some people may successfully use the queer label, or any other label, disingenuously as a shield or a weapon, I'd consider that most of the time those abuses are transparent and draw ire from people who more genuinely align with a stigmatized label. In other words, it's a somewhat self-correcting problem. There will always be people who take advantage. Let's not let them ruin it for the rest of us.
