“sex." for sexuality, hoping that is enough to distinguish it from the original meaning of the word and from its pejorative use.

I learned the word from the article quoted below, that's why I assume it to be disyllabic.

【Wikipedia】https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queer

But there is currently also a new clampdown on political activists and sex/AIDs/queer activists, so the book wavers between optimism and despair about China’s future.
但因为考虑到眼下政府新一轮面向政治活动者及性、艾滋、“酷儿”(即同性恋)活动者的打压浪潮,我这本书的视点其实游移在乐观主义与对中国未来的绝望之间。

From The Columbia Companion to Modern Chinese Literature (Kirk A. Denton ed.), article "Homoeroticism in Modern Chinese Literature" by Thomas Moran:

Bai Xianyong's 白先勇 (b. 137) novel Crystal Boys (孽子, 1983) is the most well-known of several books that anticipated what became tongzhi (同志, comarade) or ku'er (酷儿, queer) literature, a body of writing on homoerotic themes that emerged in Taiwan in the 1990s.
