Heya!! My top surgery consultation is right around the corner and I still need a bit of financial help to pay for the surgery, so I've added some new designs to my RB to help with that :D . If you're a fellow queer punk, I think you'll enjoy these. If not, there's other softer designs up there too that might suit your fancy! Check it out!

Regular reminder that "gypsy" is for Romani people to reclaim, not for you, white witches, to use to feel cool.

terminally online baby gays will see a picture of a gay man in the 70s (when homophobia was at a high and queers were dying left and right) holding a sign that says “faggots support dykes” or “cocksuckers for rug munchers” and type a whole dissertation about slur discourse and why it’s problematic or something

ID: #i think it’s cause it feels fucked up to say people with deformities or differences are freaks #even if you’re a saying you love them

why do you feel this way about people with deformities and not anybody else reclaiming “freak”? why is it ok for trans, autistic, or mentally ill people to “reclaim” “freak” but not physically disabled people who are deformed and who historically and currently called “freaks”?

I am called a freak and a cripple all the time. I should be allowed to reclaim that just as much as I can reclaim “faggot” and still love myself. I am sorry that it makes you uncomfortable but reclaiming slurs is not an exclusive thing for ablebodied queers and neurodivergents

You can't simultaneously reclaim a slur and then insist it's not a slur. A word has to be a slur to begin with for you to "reclaim" it. I'm all for reclaiming "queer" if you want to, I call myself queer, but you can't then also spread misinformation that it's not a slur and never was. If it's not a slur, then you're not reclaiming anything.

I'm a Jew. I call myself a kike. Proudly. But I would never insist that because I and other Jews are comfortable using it to describe ourselves, that it's no longer a slur.

I think some of you are so caught up in the euphoria of your own reclamation that you recoil when others don't have the same euphoria. But it's perfectly normal to not have the same experiences. Someone saying "hey, please don't call me this word, I'm uncomfortable with it" isn't oppressing you just as much as you aren't oppressing someone for saying "hey, I like this word, please call me this word".

You will encounter people who call themselves "queer" but not "gay", "gay" but not "queer", "faggot" but not "queer", etc etc. And this diversity of experience is beautiful and important.

And this doesn't even touch on the fact that the social context and gravity of certain words are different in different regions and countries, and insisting that everyone abide by one region (read: Northern USA)'s definition and context of a word is extremely American-centric and paternalistic.

Not everyone should have the same relationship to different words. Diversity is important, otherwise it just becomes an echo chamber.

I would love to have a real discussion about how the r-slur should be a word we should all just collectively not say anymore, and no one, whatever their disability status, should feel comfortable “reclaiming” it, but this is a website of sledgehammers not scalpels, and no one really has a good handle on what “ableism” is yet, so I don’t think I’ll engage in that any time soon.

It’s just on my mind.

A random ramble about my identity, modern queer community and queer history bc I'm hyperfixated

(I don't want slur discourse under my post. I reclaim words that have been directly used to oppress me only and only towards myself, that's where the conversation ends)

(Cis/Hets don't touch this post

Terfs especially don't even look at this post

Anti kink fuckers don't look at this post, kink and LGBT are separate things but you cannot untangle kink history from queer/LGBT history

If your against the use of the word queer, don't clown on this post

Queer cis people are free to interact and add their opinions but don't clown on this post

Trans people and queer punks and activists please interact <3

Any corrections are welcomed as long as their constructive)

So you could probably find a few posts of me talking about some of my more modern and neo/xeno identity labels, its something I'm fairly proud of I'm a neo pronoun user and have been out as a nonbinary man for a long time

But I don't think I talk about my more, I guess classical and older queer labels and that feels disingenuous because I do still love queer history and have a lot of what would be considered ""outdated"" identieies

Yeah I'm a neo user and have some xeno gender labels, and I'm T4T which as far as I know is a label thats been around a long time but its still common and normally used today

But im also just a gender nonconformist(sometimes i use and reclaim the words transexual and transvestite just to piss off cis people who say i cant), i unapolgetically reclaim the word f4g, im in the leather community, I'm a fem man, im a cub, all things that have been around maybe since the 60s - 70s that I/still/ find connection to, comfort and community in

I mean hell I usually consider myself to currently be in a masc 4 fem relationship which you'd probably never guess by just looking at me

Which is another thing! Why is it always assumed that cubs and bears are the mascs?? I think I have more traditionally feminine clothing and presentation then most of my twink friends, I am a big, fat, extroverted, hairy cub and I am still the fem in one of my relationships and very feminine and fem presenting in general

Obviously masc 4 fem is not the only kind of mlm and wlm relationship that's stupid sndnd and expecting it is heteronormative, some people are masc 4 masc,fem 4 fem, heck not everyone /likes/ traditional masc fem labels and that's awesome!

Another thing I don't see a lot of people talk about is the fact that the bear and cub community is objectively a body positivity movement, that's what it started as that's what it always will be

Bear culture was a reaction to the beauty standards of gay culture at the time, when the ideal in gay relationships were young, thin, conventionally attractive gay and bi/multisexual men

Bear culture was specifically made to appreciate, lift up, and love large, hairy,sometimes older gay and bi/multsexual men and cub culture branched off from bears

I'm gonna be honest, I am recovering from a few body image issues and disorders that I wont go in depth on, and bear + cub culture has helped me to love myself and my body and find myself attractive more than any other body positivity space! Not to say other body positvity spaces arent important and needed, but that as a queer trans man this one has been the space I felt the most welcomed in

I wish there were a few expectations we could leave behind, like the idea that bears and cubs only date other bears and cubs, that terms like bear, twink, otter, leather gay, ect are gay exclusive and not just mlm and nwlnw terms, that fem and masc culture are gay and lesbian exclusive (dont come at me there are several moments in history we see these terms used by bi and generally queer men and that show masc and fem culture in bi and generally queer spaces)

I wish I could find more people like me in history, trans men who weren't masc, transmen and transmascs that were unapologetically feminine, I want to find transman queens in history, trans gay and mlm men, it's hard to find.. but I'm almost positive there has to be at least some people like me in queer history

But in general there's so much we can learn and keep from older queer culture that I feel has been lost a lot with younger generations

I love modern queer culture and neo/xeno labels and communities ans MOGAI and the breakdown of gender norms and sexual expectations

But im also unapolgetically a fem, leather loving, kinkster, trans fucking, fat cub, cross dressing faggot

All of these things are me

You cannot untangle or separate these identieies and labels from /me/

There are riots and loss in my history, and there is raw, unapolgetic queer beauty as well. there is pride in my veins, and fight in my lungs, and I wouldn't trade any of it for shit

I hear older generations that refer to the community as the gay community, because gay was always a catchall. Lesbian was a catchall for all wlw and built by all wlw (so the term included bisexuals). This generation grew up with queer as a slur and most seem to hate it. This generation grew up with the culture fight with radical feminists that hate trans folks, bi folks, and sexual feelings (see: "political lesbian"). My generation got all the alphabet soup (LGBTQIA etc) and eventually rejected it. But gay was a slur for us, so we started going with queer. But I don't think my generation got quite the "community" experience - in part because so many elders will killed by AIDS, in part because society changed and got rid of a lot of "third places".

Then the younger generation, which had the internet in high school and stuff, started building queer community over the internet, which is so genuinely cool!! Other shifts started happening, this generation started using the word sapphic for wlw, with a lot of rhetoric over whether bi women can call themselves lesbian - which to the generation above me, sounds a lot like the radical feminist push out bisexuals entirely, which bisexuals had always been included as lesbians. It really is wild. All I ask is that everyone take the time to learn gay/LGBT/queer history, how terms came to be, how communities were developed. We're not always going to agree on terminology, we have very different types of pain.

I'm begging everyone to take these disagreements with an attempt to understand. Because there are people who hate us no matter what we call ourselves, and those are the people we need to be fighting - not our siblings who use terms a little differently.

yeah totally! Thank you for sharing!

the word bitch is a misogynistic and queerphobic slur. it's used to pejoratively refer to women who are dominant or angry. and when applied to men, it takes on the reverse meaning - a derogatory term used to call men weak or subordinate. it's often used to imply they're queer (often gay or trans). the term also originally meant female dog, and was first used to describe women who were highly sexual (like a dog in heat). thats not dehumanizing at all (sarcasm).

i can't make you stop using it pejoratively, but in the case where someone is actually wrong, asshole is a good alternative. note that being weak and subordinate, or dominant and angry, aren't inherently immoral. everyone has weaknesses. at some point, everyone needs to stand up for themselves or has trouble doing so. everyone gets angry. everyone has points where their anger overwhelms them.

it's only human, and that's part of why these terms are often ableist/sanist as well, actually (given mentally ill people often have trouble with fear and agender). you call someone an asshole when they're not standing up for what's right, or admitting to doing wrong, not when they've been hurt and can't fight for themselves. you call someone an asshole when they're hurting someone else, not when they've been hurt and are standing up for themselves.

the idea that these things are wrong ends up punishing marginalized people for sticking up for themselves or being "too womanly," and that is what the B slur is ultimately about. it's become so common that it doesn't just harm women or queer people. by nature of what it demeans, it hurts everyone - marginalized or not. like i said, it's all only human.

that said, people can reclaim it. for example, it's often used by gay men to approvingly describe assertive or feminine men. it's used similarly by feminist to describe assertive women. and honestly? that sounds a lot more fun to me that using the term to hurt people, especially when there are plenty of other words (curse words included) to choose from.

and even if (you think) it doesn't hurt anyone, surely, it couldnt hurt you that much to just change how you use it. it's just a word afterall, right? or do you just want to keep the power and superiority it gives you?

I'm just going to go ahead and say this.

I'm neurodivergent, autistic, mentally ill. And "retarded" is one slur that I'll never want to "reclaim".

Not all slurs are reclaimable. Not all slurs should be reclaimed.
