    my body produced 1/5th of the average hormones for my assigned gender at birth. It ABSOLUTELY fucked me up mentally, I can confirm this. On the bright side though now that I started HRT my body is like speed running transition
    1 vial of E in and I already have boobs bigger than some cis women I know lmao

    ah that kinda makes sense. Can you explain why who’s reclaiming a slur makes a difference? I don’t really understand why you wouldn’t like a positive meaning to a once negative word. It doesn’t really make a lot of sense to me.

    I’d reference how “cunty” (used as a compliment) isn’t exactly only said by women, but people who are generally seen as ‘in the loop’. How come the word referenced in the post isn’t treated the same way? I genuinely am asking and find this really interesting.

    Also idk if it did but sorry if my message came off as rude before, I was kinda stressed about an advising meeting when I wrote it

    You can’t just un-racist a word because it makes you feel bad man.

    I think you should look into reclaiming slurs. The once derogatory term now has a positive meaning and that’s imo a good thing. Look at the word ‘Queer’, most people (especially young people) don’t know it used to be derogatory, and I don’t think people should stop using it.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queer
    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reappropriation

    With an obvious albeit obligatory note that if you use a word in a derogatory way that’s obviously not ok, if you use it with the compliment definition it’s a bit different.

    Some reappropriation can be at varying levels in different countries which is why (I assume) it’s seen as worse in other countries.

    If you are to respond I would request to hear your rebuttal without copy and pasting the same article please.
