I hate how when people talk about feeling excluded from queer culture for not having certain interests, they're often ridiculed for it. For example, there was an article a while back about queer people who aren't into astrology and how it can be kind of isolating, and the reactions I saw to it were largely just people making fun of them.
There were a lot of people commenting on it to say that it wasn't a real problem because people who are queer and also otherwise marginalised have it harder. And like, ok, I agree that that's much harder, but that doesn't mean the astrology thing isn't a valid struggle. We can talk about more than one thing.
"If you think it's hard being queer and not into astrology, try being queer and disabled!" Ok, but I AM queer and disabled, and I'm also not into astrology. The disability thing is harder, sure, but the astrology thing can still be isolating too.

Kidding aside I do think you make a good point. There is a bad habit of ranking problems but many times the perception of the severity is very personal and arbitrary. It can be a form of dismissal but I wish more people recognized the history of using such ranking as a way to wedge minority groups
