People Clearly Werent On My Side Of SM (trans Men) To Have Even A Doubt That Even If Its Not A Slur Its Fuckin Rude - Tumblr Posts

The progression of responses, as I’ve seen it, to telling people theyfab is a slur and maybe shouldn’t be repurposed as your new pet insult:

“Theyfab is a slur we’re allowed to use because it’s punching up!”

“Okay maybe you’re right that that’s the wrong definition of punching up, but we can still use this slur because our targets are bigots and we’re more oppressed and deserve to be able to use it!”

“Okay, yeah, you’re right that we’re not supposed to use slurs at someone regardless of whether or not that someone’s a bigot, but that’s with genuinely bad slurs, these slurs are lesser than the slurs used against us so we deserve to be able to use it!”

“Actually theyfab being a lesser slur to our slurs means that it might not be a slur at all because you just have thin skin, but regardless, you reacting badly to us using theyfab proves that you’re thin skinned little girls weaklings that are complaining over something so small when you compare it to what we face!”

“Theyfab isn’t a slur at all! The fact that you’re telling us we’re slurring you proves to me that you’re a transmisogynist who doesn’t take slurs against trans women seriously because you think something as small as theyfab can count as a slur and so you actively deserve to be hurt, so even if calling you theyfab was hurting you (which you’re obviously lying about to silence me) it would be hurt I should be allowed to create! You can tell how much of a theyfab someone is by calling them a theyfab and seeing how they react! They’d better support you calling them that or else!”
