Some people want to reclaim it, I guess? Take back the word that was used against you, and make it *yours* I assume?
but it's gay men's right to reclaim it, since the f slur was/is directed mainly to gay men, that's why I don't understand why would someone else but gay men reclaim it
its not like the lgbt community does not have more slurs that, like the d slur or q slur (if we're being more general)
It's not about the LGBTQ+ community lacking slurs, that make some wlw want to reclaim that word. I'm fully aware that the f-word was used against gay men in the beginning, but it has and is still being used against gay women for decades.
If a word has been used to degrade, dehumanize and shame you, I see no issue with reclaiming it and making it
your word.
I respect your opinion as well, and I'm not trying to start anything. <3 I'm sorry if I'm rambling omg.
i don't know, i personally dont know any wlw that has been called the f slur. however, ive seen butch lesbians being called the d slur a lot of times, and maybe once or twice the q slur (its kinda different here, since we speak spanish, so there's the difference in language and such)
