Let's break this down, he saw me while I was:

  • On rollerblades
  • Wearing a rainbow tie dye hoodie
  • Hair tied back stuck through my helmet
  • Literally dancing while I do this

He chose to blow through a stop sign to catch up to me to tell me how much of a f-t he thought I was.

Uh...thanks for the affirmation I guess? I think it's pretty clear what I'm up to over here. Glad to know I'm nailing the look I'm going for! I genuinely laughed when it happened and I'm at home now still laughing. Sure, that's harmful language and it has absolutely caused me and others harm and will again, but in this context I just find it fucking hilarious.

Anyway fellow queers stay safe and stay queer out there don't let them get you down sicko-queer

        4x80mm. That's what I grew up riding so I figured I'd get back on what I already knew how to do, although that was 15 years ago so it probably didn't make much of a difference. They're perfect though because I'm in a city so I need lots of agility and not a lot of speed, can't go fast with cars and shit around anyway.

          I love my 3x110mm's. The sidewalks around my city are pretty uneven, so they work well to pop over lips that are sticking out as well as any old brick cobble sections

    How it feels even culturally presenting as anything to the left of Eric Cartman in Amerikkka.

    This shit is always classic. Dudes will all but literally climb on top of their moving vehicles to call you a slur. Had a dude driving stand up on the seat of his moving Chevy Tahoe and climb so far out the window that his waist was visible above the roofline of the SUV so he could point at me and call me the K-slur for... existing while jewish in the prairies. Like, why?

      That's the same guy calling you anti-Semitic for calling to an end to genocide. Chuds have no brains at all

        i mean i figure that guy specifically probably hates israel, but hates palestinians too, and thinks they're basically indistinguishable from jews

      Some of my coworkers are into guns. I recently bought a Beretta 92FS that used to be a pig service weapon. (It was cheap at an auction and the fact a pig gun is now reappropriated in a queer commie's hands feels kinda good, like I've rescued the poor gun).

      Anyway I told my coworkers I could go shooting at the range now with them if they want. One of them tilted his head and said "But I thought you were gay?"

    I relate because, as a self-identified f----t, that's the highest form of validation I can get.

            This is the best idea. I know that I'd not be able to control myself is slur passes were granted. I'm a part of so many marginalized groups that I'd have too much power!

    One time I had a guy stop his truck, pull over, and get out to yell "get a job hippie f*g" (I have very long hair) from across the street. Which was very funny because I was on my way to work and he was driving a spotless truck with a contractor decal on the side and I had a sneaking suspicion he was a small business tyrant so I flipped him off and yelled "yeah okay dude get a real job I'm on my way to work to sell your wife your dinner"

    Dude got beet red and almost walked into traffic to come confront me. Kinda wish he tried.

    I got called the transphobic slur like seven years ago before I identified as nb and it felt really bad. Made me hate myself for a while.

    I got called the slur again while out on my bike a few weeks ago and pleasantly waved. It was some Karen style woman in a giant assault style SUV. I have a giant trans flag sticker on my bike and a dangly nb keychain. Also I'm wearing doc martens. Like yeah lady, I'm the neighborhood tr---ie, no shit lmao

    I'm glad to know other people have this same feeling I had. Like a kind of "yeah duh."

    this happened to me a couple times going out with my very very straight cis housemate for lunch/errands. It usually is over before I even process it's happened but one of the times it was pretty affirming ngl, and the other it was just... bizarre?
