Like, people who identify as Queer know the word is used like a slur. Trust me, we know.
So when we say āqueer is a slurā was started by terfs, maybe use some critical thinking and try to understand what we mean. That is, if you actually care about queer people and the damage terfs do, rather that just screaming āqueer is a slur!ā and ignoring the actual point.
Terfs did not like that queer was reclaimed. End of. This is a fact. Queer was too broad, too accepting, and embraced all the people they wanted gone. And I know y'all exclusionists feel the same but get pissed when we point it out so you deny it, but sit down and listen for a minute.
Queer was the preferred term for poc. For bisexuals. For trans people. For people with multiple identities. It neatly encapsulated everything, and was a friendly community to those who felt thrown under the bus by mainstream LGBT activism. It was a political and social statement, āyou treated my like I was different and weird, and guess what? I am and thatās something to be proud of.ā
So the response? āYou canāt use that word. Its bad. Its a slur.ā
And at the time, a lot of people rolled their eyes. Everyone knew why they didnāt like the word and brushed that off. It was fine.
So they started more subtly. āJust so you know this word is very harmful and is a slur so be careful how you use it :))) in case you didnāt know :)))) its a slur :))) friendly reminder :))) for the sake of other people of course :))))ā type shit on every post involving the word, including and especially posts simply mentioning self identification.
Always worded in friendly, concerned ways, like the derailment was meant to be nice and considerate, and not about normalizing their rhetoric.
And what happened because of that was a younger generation of community kids growing up with these statements being thrown at them and absorbed on every. Single. Post. That. Mentionioned. Queer.
The result? That same generation of kids cutting it all short, removing the meant-to-be-palatable niceness, to just say āqueer is a slur.ā
Exactly how it was originally intended. āQueer is a slur.ā People drop on posts where young queer people talk about it being a self identifier that actually fits them. āIts a slur,ā they comment, with nothing else, on posts they clearly didnāt read past that word, written by people twice their age who had reclaimed it before they were even born.
Its nasty. Its disgusting. Itās plain old bigotry, whether the people saying know it or not. It is a terf tactic, plain and simple.
And no one wants to deny that it is indeed used as a slur (right along with all the rest of our identities.) No one wants to be insensitive and force it on people who havenāt reclaimed it.
But invading queer peopleās posts to spit āqueer is a slurā is flat out queerphobic. You do the dirty work of terfs, of cis straight oppressors, by saying in one simple sentence: āits a dirty word, there is no pride in it, you havenāt/canāt reclaim(ed) it.ā
And regardless of your actual intentions, when you do this, that is EXACTLY what you are communicating and doing.
āQueer is a slurā is a terf movement. Stop fucking supporting terfs just because you want to pretend like it isnāt.
This is why I block people who sayĀ āQueer is a slur.āĀ
You quack like a terf, I block you like a terf.Ā
This thing was so weird to me when I first encountered it on tumblr, because like⦠in academia
queer studies
Ā is a thing. Queer Theory is a thing. If I search my Uniās library forĀ āqueerā I getĀ 138,481 results. Here are some of them:Ā
Queer in Europe : contemporary case studies / edited by Lisa Downing and Robert Gillett.
Queer Phenomenology, Sexual Orientation, and Health Care Spaces: Learning From the Narratives of Queer Women and Nurses in Primary Health Care, /Ā Cressida Heyes,Ā Megan Dean, Lisa Goldberg.
Playing With Time: Gay Intergenerational Performance Work and the Productive Possibilities of Queer Temporalities /Ā StephenĀ Farrier
Postcolonial and queer theories : intersections and essays / edited by John C. Hawley.
Queer Dickens : erotics, families, masculinities / Holly Furneaux.
Showing Your Pride: A National Survey of Queer Student Centres in Canadian Colleges and Universities /Ā John Ecker, Jennifer Rae, Amandeep Bassi
Mad for Foucault : rethinking the foundations of queer theoryĀ / Lynne Huffer.
Do those look like queerphobic texts? And do you think that most of the writers writing about queer theory are straight? Lols. If you donāt want to be personally be called queer, thatās cool. You donāt get to stop other people using the word though. Itās ours now and weāre keeping it.
Did I reblog this already? If I did, doesnāt hurt to blog it again. I usually unfollow people who use the tag (or the equilivant) q-slur. Because fuck you, Iām queer. Have been since like 1986.
But they arenāt documented so they wouldnāt be paā¦..nvm
This is a huge misconception for regular Americans. When the government uses the phrase āundocumentedā theyāre using it incorrectly because if they were truly undocumented then they wouldāve be in system. However these immigrants are in the system and they pay taxes, file tax returns and get no benefits that citizens and legal residents get. They also get to see ICE showing up at their doors because the government has their addresses. Fun fact. āUndocumentedā workers pays $12 billion dollars every year in taxes. https://www.google.com/amp/www.forbes.com/sites/niallmccarthy/2016/10/06/how-much-tax-do-americas-undocumented-immigrants-actually-pay-infographic/amp/
Reblogging for info.
āUndocumentedā just meansĀ āwithout papers,ā i.e. a social security card, valid visa, etc. Theyāre still on databases and whatnot, they just donāt have the documentationĀ that allows them to reap the benefits.
so if it didnāt click- the government is aware of their presence and gladly taking their money under the table while simultaneously promoting the idea that undocumented people are a threat and encouraging hatred and distrust of them itās super messed up, literally the scheme of an evil villain, and itās really happening
š£ undocumented immigrants in Los Angeles contribute more to the GDP than the state of Montana and like 5 other states
do they not have sales tax in america? You can buy a bag of chips at the convenience store and still pay taxes
Heck yeah, we have sales tax, real estate tax, some states have personal property tax for cars etc, some cities have state and local taxes and all this doesnāt even include federal and state income tax.
I donāt know who told you that Undocumented immigrants donāt pay taxes but before I got my green card and I was working(yes it is possible and no it wasnāt off the books) best believe that I was paying taxes out the ass and getting nothing in return because I couldnāt file for taxes when tax season came around so yea undocumented immigrants are robbed on the regular.
This is an official post! Iām short on cash for rent and bills and Iāve been meaning to do this short a while now- Iām making pompom earrings for only 5$ (colors available shown) also making playlists for 1$ šš¼ reblog this if you can and thank you for the people who have ordered some already!!
help my friend
My friend is in an abusive situation with the person they were living with. Said person has broken belongings and verbally threatened them multiple times and the situation is escalating to the point where they have been threatened with their life. To escape, my friend needs money for court costs (restraining order), moving fees and fees to have things repaired at their current apartment along with the fees to break the lease.Ā Their abuser has taken money from their bank account and their PayPal is the only way my friend can get money without their abuser knowing.Ā
This is their paypal, even if you canāt help please reblogĀ
Of all the strange things to happen in 2017, Smash Mouth explicitly supporting trans people during pride month is by far the most pleasant. Hey now, youāre an all star.
