This is what that one post was taking about.

You can be as offended as possible about the language used, or you can look at the actual intent behind the words.

This man grew up in a time when trans people used that word for themselves. He probably hung out with a few often enough and just absorbed the language.

He was very much using it in a positive context. The barista he’s referring too is probably the only one that makes his favorite drink just right.

This is why Queer elders get so annoyed with the younger members of the community. Too focused on policing the terms people use while there are far bigger problems we are all dealing with.

#this is all true#baby gays PLEASE learn that the words you scream at people online for are still in active use AMONG OUR COMMUNITY IN REAL LIFE#there are trans people who refer to themselves as trannies & transssexuals. there are lesbians who call themselves bulldykes. gay men who#call ourselves faggots. and it's done not in a self-effacing way but in honest joy and reclamation and it is NOT your place as#self-appointed keyboard warriors to bitch at us to stop. YOU'RE the new ones here. learn the culture if you want to survive.#and make the fucking effort to go meet queer people older than 20 in meatspace for FUCK'S sake#i get that you didn't get the trial by fire that the rest of us got but we'll be goddamned if we're gonna let you tell us we're not allowed#to be in OUR spaces smelling like smoke#old man yells at cloud#queerdom#trans matters#twitter dot com#blog together queue alone

This.

I'm 30something and new(a year and change) to my transition and you can pry tranny from my cold dead hands.

I'm also a gay man and you can pull faggot out of my clenched teeth.

I stood on the outside for decades like an orphan in the rain but I never stopped fighting the good fight as an "ally" and now I'm inside I will say and do whatever I fucking want forever because those words feel right on me.

It's fun and it's sexy and its mine and just fuck all the way off. I didn't walk alone through the dark for 25 years to get here to be told by angry children with anxiety what I am not allowed to do.

This is part of what "kill the cop in your head" means, btw.

Stop looking for Rules to follow or punish people for not following, pay the most attention to actions, intentions, and consequences.

btw.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

#actually me telling older ppl who get confused by my existence to use the words they have #if you gotta call me a tranny to get your meaning across the fuck man do it #i dont care #like if we've established a context in which you're actively trying to understand the whole gender thing better #then use what you have for vocabulary #i keep telling people that we can talk about what words they might not wanna use later and like #obv im not telling them that theyre fine to use them on anybody bc you cant go up to a stranger and call them slurs #but im giving you permission pamela #just ask your damn questions please i beg of you i am so glad you wanna learn anything at akl

proposing a new genre of fiction called an anti-romance where u r presented w a couple at the start & the story is about their emotional journey towards a catastrophic break up

Yknow that thing where you miss someone so much that you just kind of sit there waiting for nothing because seeing them again is ages away and it won't come any faster either way, but you still just kinda can't bring yourself to do anything bc you're busy missing them?

Yeah

#we really took it way too seriously being another pair of wolf twins

"We need to convey the idea that the characters are related to each other to show that's why we grouped them together."

"Uhhh how about they all have the same pose and expression of a disappointed mother?"

"Perfect!"

Also a really useful thing in lefty queer progressive whatever type spaces is "getting over yourself" and really knowing the phrase "sure they get on my nerves but I don't think we should hunt them for sport". Like sometimes your morals/principles/political goals/etc are more important than whatever interpersonal beef you have. I mean just in general you need to be able to be annoyed without killing someone about it but especially if you're aiming for, like... actual meaningful solidarity and community and shit like that

Like you know I'm a hater. Off the top of my head I can name Three pretty prominent names in the Trans Blogging sphere who irritate me for, like, reasons of varying validity, yknow. Sometimes you just don't vibe with somebody that's natural. They also happen to get Harassment Campaigned a lot & I won't participate in any of that because I'm not a fucking ghoul. Something something rules of engagement. You can't have exceptions
