Bro my trans friend said the slur despite not being gay and I called her out on it. She said she can say it bc ppl have called her it in the past, but I said that’s not how using slurs works. Like I mean a LITERAL argument style debate, not community fucking yikyak bs debate.

that kinda is how slurs work for the queer community. I am trans. i am a f@g. and you’re not doing shit to help queer people by complaining about it

I’m queer too. She used it to call my bf a f@g. She’s straight and my bf is bi. I just don’t think that’s right.

theres a difference between reclaiming a slur and usually it as one. calling some one a slur isnt ok. calling yourself a slur thats fine

did she call him that in an insulting way or in a joking way and was your boyfriend actually offended?

also you were the one who technically started the argument and insisted she not use it so you kinda did what the post is criticizing.

She was like “ur such a f@ggot” but doesn’t really ever say that kind of stuff to other ppl. He’s openly a femboy twink so it’s just kinda odd.

And it does make him uncomfortable. She has done this more than once and it’s always in an insulting manner

Also I literally only said “hey girl, ur straight. Can you even say that?”. I didn’t say “you can’t say that”. Her response was “I get called it all the time, I think I can’t say it”
