I love how it was obviously fucked up when I was being called a queer and a removed by other kids and my family, but the second I get out of school I'm getting called a queer by libs on the internet or fucking BANKS, except somehow now I'm the asshole or even an actual fucking bigot for calling that shit out as homophobic/transphobic. Absolutely love that :stress: :internet-delenda-est:
Uh how about taking any time to read what other queer people have wrote about reclaiming the word? It's not a new concept, not sure why some people treat it like it's impossible to reclaim a slur like has been done in the past
Yeah, but not everyone likes the reclamation and having to see the phrase the associate with bigotry and their trauma being used casually; especially by straight cis people.

One of the important parts of reclaiming a slur is the oppressed group's control over it.
