Meta; drama bs 

Understanding the often contradictory nature of identity is not "taking the position that words are basically meaningless", and harmful rhetoric is not owed a platform or immune to critique because the source is marginalized (not even along the axis of the topic, mind).

Gotta love accusing angry queer folk of regurgitating gamergate tactics whilst simultaneously whinging that the language they use to describe themselves does not align with your heteronormative standards and defending harmful rhetoric with "It's just a joke"

Meta; drama bs 

The joke is totally harmless, nevermind it being praised by transphobic and right-wing figureheads! /s

re: Meta; drama bs 

I absolutely do not trust anybody who thinks along the lines of "inclusive language renders identity meaningless"
