Well speaking as a queer person I and many of my friends have had the pyramid cited to us to show why we would always be unhappy. The hierarchy is not an entirely flawed concept and in the broadest of strokes I agree with it. Which is why I only say it’s overrated, not inherently wrong. The hierarchy just falls apart rather quickly for GSM folks while being taken as fact by the general population.
I’m familiar with the hierarchy, but I’m failing to see how or why it would be used to say that queer people would always be unhappy. What’s that all about?
Unless it’s through a wrongful reading of it being a hierarchy of needs to be happy instead of a hierarchy of needs for a correct life.
Either that or it’s a thinly veiled threat like “see, you need other’s acceptance and security, and you’ll never have those”, but I doubt that this is what the other person meant
Is he/it? I have to wonder if this is one of those “The Beatles are overrated” kinds of opinions

I’m queer myself and wondering the dame tbh.
