@blablafishcakes @Doc_Pozzi @liamteer@emperor_naked I’m a gay male who was told something similar on twitter recently. had no idea. floored. quite depressed actually. feel like I’m losing my mind. I’m being shoved back in the closet because it’s transphobic to be homosexual now. the world is upside down.
@Decima59730542 @SkLumos same. the Baptist Fundamentalist church my parents attended banned them for all church/school members. the philosophy was too infectious.
Now we’re seeing the same thing from “woke” fundamentalists.
dogma or cancelled. it’s v triggering for me.
@NicoleSCecil @MForshores@oosterom_m I personally have only seen it attached too something wildly insulting. hence a lot of non-trans folk’s sensitivity to it. originally I only meant to point out how it divides. & doesn’t fit with the statement of “working together.”
@NicoleSCecil @MForshores@oosterom_m maybe a better, less heated example is “bitch.” it’s a real word that has correct usage. but is often used with hate attached to it.
@NicoleSCecil @MForshores@oosterom_m I’m not saying they have the same severity or oppression attached. and I@dint believe that. it was the example I thought of to show that something can have meaning and still be used as a slur.
@NicoleSCecil @MForshores@oosterom_m you tried to say it’s not a slur because it has a definition? but it is used exclusively as an insult. I’ve never seen it used in a neutral or nice way. trying to show you an example of how things can have a meaning and be a slur at the same time.
@oosterom_m@jk_rowling thank you for your smart response. I’m not saying you are a bad person. I don’t know if the origin of the word had bad intent. but it is consistently used as an insult now. Thank you again for your willingness to respond kindly. That is a rarity. I’m trying to do better myself.
