Thinking about those people on twitter who told me I can't say dyke because I'm not a lesbian again.

It's just so fucking wild to me lmfao, one of them was 18 trying to tell me that 1. ONLY lesbians can reclaim dyke - not bis, not pans, no one but lesbians, and 2. The good old Butch and Femme Are Lesbian Only (and literally telling me that "they shouldnt be using it :///" when I brought up that gay men have been using those terms FOREVER), and they wanted NOTHING to do with me trying to explain that's not how this shit works, historically or now.

Their main argument was "dyke is used to mock lesbians for their lack of attraction to men" (and they kept showing me google definitions that had lesbian in the def as Proof lol), as if that's the only way it's used, as if the primary thought going through a homophobe's head is "ew they're not attracted to men" and not "ew they're attracted to women".

Like, you're literally just playing radfem semantics. The homophobe calling me a dyke for kissing a girl doesn't give a shit that I call myself pan, and the fact that they might be mistaking me for a lesbian doesn't mean they still wouldn't use that word against me if they knew otherwise.

To say that I can't reclaim a slur that is weaponized directly against me for a fundamental part of myself, my attraction to non-men, is fucking bonkers to me.

They got really pressed that I kept saying dyke too, saying shit like how "disturbing" it was that I would so casually type it out in my replies. But like hell am I gonna start saying shit like d-slur in a conversation about me arguing that I have just as much a right to reclaim dyke as any Gold Star Lesbian does. It's mine to reclaim if I so choose, and some rando online who accidentally dipped into the radfem rhetoric punch saying I can't doesn't make it so.

Its so fucking weird and funny that this only seems to happen in wlw spaces, huh - I have YET to see any big push for "only gay men can reclaim the f-slur" (notice i use f-slur here, because this is a slur i do NOT consider myself able to reclaim, nor would i personally want to), and saying that mspec dudes can't reclaim it for themselves. Almost like you're spouting fucking RADFEM RHETORIC.

(They thought it was very funny that I said this, and dismissed me almost entirely after that, because who needs to examine why they're saying the shit they're saying or where they first heard it, right)

Ugh. I hate it here. I know IRL spaces arent as completely obtuse as this, but goddamn I'm so worried for when these baby queers BECOME the community. How much history are they just gonna let the radfems and terfs torch without even realizing it. I like to have faith in future gens as a whole but hhhhhh it scares me sometimes.

Ever notice how the word 'men' is just a shorter version of 'women'? & like that's perfect bc when we compare men to women, men really do be coming up short-
