vent, -
I guess I'm disliked in this group now because I objected to someone's use of the words "f*ta" and "h*rm"
re: vent, -
someone's upset about "having words stolen from [them]" (because of people using previously-non-slur words as slurs) and just I have no idea how to respond to that
re: vent, -
@Felthry this is complicated... i think the key in this case is pretty much that: the people often trying to use these terms as self-ID are often not in a position to reclaim those words. There’s some segments of people I’d say maybe are positioned to reclaim them and it’s not “all trans people/all trans women” tbh.
re: vent, -
@Felthry (sorry, i misunderstood, bc I’ve definitely had conversations with other trans people about whether or not they’re okay for trans people to use and my take is mostly: no if you’re not intersex. If you’re cis then forget it)
re: vent, -
@poss_bot yeah it's a little more of a gray area if it's a trans person using it to refer to themself but a definite no if it's a cis person using it to refer to someone else
re: vent, -
@Felthry then EXTRA nope, lol
