I honestly have zero desire to try and reclaim. It would honestly take an immense amount of effort. It would also require being capable of gathering a significant amount of folks that are okay with being called such words. I, personally, think they should be lost to the sands of time and not rehabbed. They are despicable words with despicable histories. We should just find new words.
I see! I'm curious to know, do you feel this way about every single slur that's ever been or tried to be reclaimed? I find it hard to argue against your view as well, though, honestly.
I don’t know about any reclaimed slurs. I simply don’t. But as it is, a lot of slurs nowadays are fairly prevalent in highly public spaces. For many, it does and will still cause pretty significant trauma. I don’t really believe reclaiming slurs like t-girl or equivalents is really worth doing for this purpose. Why cause a lot of people mental harm simply because you want to use a word? It’s simply nonsense to me.
The hope is to take the bite away from it, remove its power and deprive queerphobes of a shitty thing to call us. Again I find it hard to disagree with you though. Much to think abt...
