Trap is a Slur that Femboys have no right to reclaim and that nobody should WANT to reclaim as the basic idea behind it is that you're deceiving someone for malicious reasons.
"Gay guy presenting as a woman to trick straight dudes into gay sex."
You shouldn't want to be that.
Queer? Means weird, strange, unusual. Gay? Happy. I do not know the history behind Dyke so I can't speak on that, should definitely learn it.
These reclaimed slurs have positive meanings to them.
Trap doesn't.
It's a slur for trans women to reclaim as we're the ones at risk from Trans Panic Defense.
But even then, if you do reclaim it, you're misgendering yourself AND saying that you're transitioning to deceive people.
And don't come at me saying it doesn't apply to trans women but to crossdressers.
The term is from a fucking meme intended to warn of trolling attempts, with the trolling attempt being "you got the hots for a dude, what are you, gay?"
