#reclaimed slurs

[danneroni]

Don't usually share street art on main but I'm into these slaps I've been making lately ♥️🏳️‍🌈

Hi! I’m in my early 20’s and a baby gay and i was wondering if you could help me understand the nuances of a particular issue (or point me towards recourses to find some answers). I’ve heard that as an afab enby i shouldn’t be using the f slur because historically it has been used to attack/demean gay men, but i’ve also seen (mostly on tumblr) a push by the queer community to reclaim the word by any queer identity. I want to be inclusive and intersectional and not insult people to the best of my ability so my question is: can i participate in the reclamation of the f slur or should i leave this word to queer men? (I’m also not clear on wether it’s just cis men, includes trans men/amab folks, etc). You don’t have to answer but thanks for your time regardless!

You can do whatever you want forever.

Seriously, though - whoever is telling you that you can't reclaim a particular slur because that doesn't get used against people like you should come review my history sometime. I've had faggot yelled at me (often out of moving cars or in connection with physical abuse) more times than I can count. They need to talk to Hannah Gadsby, who talks in Nanette about a man who pushed her, thinking she was a faggot and then found out she was a woman, realized she was a "lady faggot" and thus outside his definition of woman and able to be beaten up... so he did.

That kind of "I have decided that people like you haven't been hurt by this so you can't touch this word" cop nonsense is genuinely harmful. We need to bring back the 90s energy of "it takes all of us to take the sting out of a word" where gay men showed up to lesbian marches with "fags for dykes" signs.

This infighting over terms is fucking cop garbage meant to divide us. It's bullshit. If you find strength in calling yourself a fag, a dykefag, a fagdyke, a ladyfag, a girl homo, a lesbo, whatever the fuck, it doesn't fucking matter.

This "no one uses that against people like you" bullshit is just that. Ignore it freely, because it's utter nonsense on many many levels.

They can say it.

Faggot and Fag wordmojis

We can reclaim f slur btw. Also semi hot take (??) AAC users who ID as fag / comfy calling themself such / reclaim it deserve to be able to have buttons on aac for that.

requests are open !!

Your not part of faggot America? OwO then I'm afraid that means you're part of the redneck agenda.

[bog-dwelling-butch]

The more I see lesbians who are anywhere under the trans umbrella the happier I am.

Since reading Stone Butch Blues at the start of this year,

Since following a bunch of they/them, he/him, she/they/he, nonbinary, trans, butch lesbians on here,

And watching a few interviews by Lynn Breedlove of Tribe 8,

I just feel like home, people like me exist, and people like me have existed for a while! I don't have to debate my identity with anyone, I just *am* some queer, gender-weird butch dyke 🌈

And if you don't like it: goodbye, don't bother me.

Hey.

[akabirdieart]

Well, I wanted to have a comic finished for Trans Day of Visibility, but I’ve been working nonstop for 27 straight hours and it’s just not gonna happen before midnight. So instead, I’ll post the first three pages as a peek.

Once I’m able to finish the rest of the ten pages (I have about three and a half pages left to ink, type, and tone), I’ll post the whole thing! It’s a discussion of the intersection of DID and transness. The peek is just the introduction to it.

View at full size —screen tones can look wonky when zoomed out too far.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility!

final version is complete!

i think i've said it before but i don't think the r-slur is something we should be trying to reclaim. it's inherently only used hatefully, or at best, in a self-deprecating way. there are better terms and words for the potential community aspect of it that aren't calling someone slow and/or mentally impaired. i don't think it'll ever be able to get over that hurdle. at best, it'll only ever be an explanation. i feel like most people pushing to try and reclaim it just don't understand what they're doing. like say, autistic gamers who grew up saying it in online games and don't care to get it out of their vocabulary and think it's fine. in their eyes, black people can say the n-word because they're black, gay people can say the f-slur because they're gay, so they should be able to say the r-slur because they're autistic. i've never seen any real deep thought around it.
