if you havent been called a slur with genuine hatred before you probably shouldnt say it because youre definitely not in the position to reclaim it. I stopped saying a few slurs because of this

@georgia I’ve been called slurs I would never use against anyone - or ever try to reclaim. Yet, I have no problem calling myself any combination of slurs I’ve received to ensure I am understood.

@steff I feel this way about the c-slur. its okay to say "serving cunt" imo but thats it. its a really ugly and sexist word.

@georgia I rarely use that word - but I regularly call myself a bitch - and that riles some of my women friends…

@georgia @steff brits get really mad if you say this despite the fact that half the men in the country have suddenly decided they're self identified militant feminists (who still support the gender wage gap though)

@georgia most slur usage i encounter in person or have participated in has been slurs surrounding gender, sexuality, or mental ability, said by people in a demographic that "can reclaim" it, but where the actual motivation is just that it's a naughty word that's fun to say. i decided to stop doing this a while ago

but fully reclaimed slurs, ones which don't feel derogatory to me at all, like "queer," i will say
