I don't think you do know what it is, and I don't think being queer inherently imbues you with that knowledge.

Queer Theory is a philosophy (or theoretical framework) about language (as with all postmodernist philosophy). It's not a "study", and while queer people can be a subject, it's not its primary object.

Furthermore, a book written by two liberal scholars is not a "far right nonsense book".

Or perhaps, I've taken queer studies class in college and know more about it than someone who read a book that's pushing an agenda.

Then perhaps you weren’t paying attention in class.
