can ppl like shut the fuck up abt who can and cant reclaim slurs like. its a fucking slur we shouldnt be having the fucking oppression olympics cuz yall cant understand shit abt history and social context and think queer history started in twitter discourse
like. social media is vv america-centric so what Little queer history yall know is like. incorrect retellings of stonewall using barely disguised r*df*m retoric.
please fucking research the history of words further than just the fuckin first page google result <3

also like. if someone has been called a slur and reclaiming it brings them comfort, and theyre not using it towards anyone else, then yknow i dont care if they say it or not!
seriously like. i know loads of butch bi women who got called the d slur (historically the d slur meant masculine woman). i know trans girls who got called the f slur (which iirc means failed man), and like. most trans ppl i know, regardless of their agab, get called tr*nny
the slurs used towards us may be & #39;defined& #39; now, but yall gotta understand in the past, cishets would see someone they perceived a certain way and call em a slur, weather it was Right or not. like.. half the transmascs i know got called the d slur.
and yknow its not even JUST the past. a cishet isnt gonna ask what gender/sexuality i am before calling me a tr*nny or d*ke or f*g, theyre just gonna let the slurs fly if they hate queer ppl that much.
and like. ppl are arguing that gay trans men can& #39;t call themselves f*gs, and that wlw can& #39;t call themselves d*kes, and like specifically that transfem wlw cant, and like yknow what? its causing more harm than good.
and like maybe im just the scary queer punk ur parents warned you about but like bro im ANGRY abt this shit. theyre fucking SLURS man, yall shouldnt be so up in arms abt this shit.
and like ive seen ppl argue like "who would WANT slurs to reclaim?" but like -

- im sorry but that just radiates the same energy as my theatre teacher saying "why would you Want depression???" when i told her i& #39;d finally gotten a diagnosis for depression.
like... cishets dont care what we ARE, they care what they perceive us as.

so like yeah anyway go research queer history and maybe understand that theres a lot more overlap than u think. gay men and transfem people, lesbians and bisexual women, queer people as a whole have always been One Community with differing experiences, not a bunch of smaller -
- communities that end up infighting every fucking week.
like seriously yall. seriously.
get a grip, go research queer history ALL OVER THE WORLD, and understand youre not so "special" for spouting t*rf and exclus rhetoric after all.
