Here we go.
As we know, people claim that fag/faggot can be used by the entire LGBT+ community. This is NOT true. Many people claim that they can use the slur because they have been called it, but with this logic, that allows cishet men to say the word since they have been +
called fag/faggot by their other cishet friends. This would allow neurotypicals to say the r-slur because of people who use it against them, or allow non-black people to say the n-word because they were called it. This allows trans men to say the d slur because they were called +
it. That is not true. With this out of the way, let's get on with the history being the words fag and faggot.

We all know that fag is also called a cigarette, primarily in the UK, and we know that faggot is also called a bundle of sticks. The word started to be used against +
gay men starting in 1914. As stated in this screenshot, it started to be used for gay men who liked dressing up in dresses and wearing make up. This is why mtf trans women are allowed to say fag/faggot because of how the word started to be used, this also goes hand in hand with +
gay men being considered super feminine, thus resulting in slurs like fairy and fruitcake. This also starts the stem of calling gay men broken/failed men because of them showing effeminate characteristics. (Definition of effeminate here). +
Continuing on the term effeminate (which is used against men, DO NOT use it to identify yourself if you identify as a woman). The word faggot started as a harmful word against older women but since then has become associated with homosexual men. +
Now onto the actual definition of faggot. The term and definition mean a gay/homosexual male. Knowing this, I believe the biggest reason wlw think they can say faggot/fag is because of the history is has of calling gay men effeminate/women. See the second pic attached.
Still continuing with effeminate men, please read these two screenshots below. Faggot is not only a slur that calls gay men women, but also says that they are only gay because they are selling their bodies. Using the word faggot when you are not a gay man is harmful bc of this +
Now starting with faggot meaning a non-masculine man, many people call gay men faggots so that they don't risk themselves being considered "gay." Please read the full meaning here:
Now for my final screenshots but not the end of this thread, here is the literal definition of faggot multiple times to get it through y'alls head that its for mlm and not wlw. Fag is a slur that is used against gay men religiously and using that term is harmful when you are +
not a gay man because while wlw experience homophobia, they do not experience the same things as mlm. Terms like boyliker, fairy, fruity, ect are also slurs that are harmful and push the notion that gay men are just women who are failing to be masculine.
Sayings like, "you are a man who likes men, shut up." is harmful and is homophobic. Saying that you cannot be homophobic bc you're LGBT+ is false. You can be homophobic against lesbians, bisexuals, gays, ect.
To end this thread off, faggot is and has always been used against gay men for liking men, failing to compel with society's standards of men, and against gay men who like using makeup and wearing 'feminine' clothing. Faggot has been used to deny men their feelings for men+
and is used to call gay men broken/failed/disgusting. Using this word when you are not mlm makes a mockery out of us and just lets us know that you don't respect gay men.
And, yes, fag/faggot also stems from people who use to roll up gay MEN, not women, men, into carpets and setting them on fire like they were cigarettes. they would tie people to a bundle of sticks and set it on fire. +
faggot also became a disrespectful term (not a slur yet) for women bc people saw their wives as burdens (like carrying a large bundle of sticks) and then evolved into a slur against mlm bc of the stereotype we’re feminine. +
it’s literally not EVER used as a disrespectful term for women anymore, bc the meaning has changed. that is why wlw cannot use the slur. if you have any questions, please comment below. thank you for reading.
i should point out an error here: fruitcake/fruitty/fruit/fairy are derogatory words for gay men, not full blown slurs. please dont call people them anyways, they can still be extremely harmful
