Reasons why I hate being told queer is a slur
- Queer is a slur is terf rhetoric often enough
- Gives the power back to homophobes who use it as a slur
- My own fucking identity isn’t a goddamn slur
- I’m not forcing you to use it for yourself!!!! I’m calling myself queer, not you!!!!
- Its a really functional umbrella term
- Its literally been reclaimed since as early as the 1910s, do your research
- Gay and lesbian were originally slurs, bi and trans were disorders (also, trumeds, don’t think I dont see you guys still calling trans one)
- How the fuck do I talk about Queer Eye if you aren’t going to let me name it
