i don't like, regularly call myself the big t-slur, but i will for effect or if i think it's the only word that works in the situation. like when i had to explain the concept of reclaiming slurs to my mom or if i need to emphasize transphobia in a discussion. sometimes i'm with friends who are much bigger on reclaiming it and i can get into the mood then. i definitely don't think this is exclusively under-20 thing, most of the people i follow on tumblr doing this are at least that old (as am i) but it seems to skew young. i am also pro-reclaimation, but i totally get not feeling good about using it or hearing it.
I see, it def works for effect lol. Gotta be in "the mood" to use it... Also wow, you explained this concept to your mom? Wild, that's rad.
The fact that I thought it was mostly under-20s shows that I don't go outside enough :) Makes sense it skees younger though, older generations have a higher chance of feeling weird-bad things about it ✨ Maybe I'll get over the brainworms someday... Fwiw I can tolerate hearing it fine enough, exposure kinda gelps with that too, but saying it, Idk ever.
slurs
