Extending the idea of "your safe space is my unsafe space" I tend to get uncomfortable when I'm in a space where it feels like everyone is going out of their way to avoid queerphobic slurs, because it nearly always brings with it a pressure not to embody what those slurs represent. So I'm allowed to carry myself like a fully assimilated transgender woman, but not like a tranny, and definitely not like a faggot.
There are plenty of people who have same gender relationships, and support gay rights, but still hate faggots as much as any republican, they just have more politically correct slurs to call us. And that's the train of thought that led to me posting about people who think that anything you wouldn't see in family television is an abomination except now family television is The Owl House instead of Leave It To Beaver.
it took me a long time to realize i was transgender and a woman, to accept that i was "allowed" to call myself queer
but i was a faggot first; i've always been a limp-wristed little pansy, and honestly everything else is just architecture towards embracing and loving that about myself
