bi-boomer:

calypsolemon:

me a year ago when “queer is a slur” discourse started going around: “oh well I guess I can understand why that could hurt maybe some people of older generations who were called queer as an insult guess I’ll just tag it”

me after seeing how “queer is a slur” discourse is just being used by terfs and exclusionists to push ace, bi, trans, and anyone who doesn’t fit into the narrow “lgbt” label from the community: “Queer community, queer rights, queer identities, I’m QUEER, respect our history and fuck you.”

I am one of those older generation people who doesn’t like the word queer.

And for a *short* time years ago, I was tagging posts “q slur”.

But I quickly saw that nobody else on Tumblr who claimed to be against the word queer was sincerely bothered by it.  It was just the usual crowd of TERFs, radfems and exclusionists attacking an inclusive word usage.  I stopped tagging anything “q slur” after that.
