A good thread on whether “queer” is a slur and if it should be used or not.

“If I am unashamed of being queer, you do not get to give that word BACK to the fuckwits who made it a slur.”

EVERYBODY WHO CAME OUT BEFORE YOU HAS TAKEN THE ROCKS AND BOTTLES AND MADE THEM INTO SHIELDS AND WINDCHIMES

Holy motherfucking shit. Don’t fucking come at me about Queer is a slur. I FUCKING KNOW IT IS. It was hurled at me like a fucking spear all through my youth. I know it’s a god damn slur. And it’s mine. You don’t get to take it away from me because you can’t take also away the scars it gave me while I was standing in front of my younger queer siblings in this community.

If my enemy swings a sword at me and I take that sword away from them, it’s my sword now. And the person telling me I can’t use it because it belongs to my enemy and I have to give it back to them sounds quite a bit like an enemy themselves.

This came around again, but it’s worth sharing and remembering.  You have the right to only accept certain words be used to describe you, but so does everyone else.

I have this bookmarked to through at people who DM me about using the word Queer.

What they have are five beverages and four waters. Water, by definition, cannot be a beverage.

The fuck do you mean water cant be a beverage?

The way this post progressed is the reason I come on Tumblr

Julie Foudy on the Statement released by the USSF

How is this ever allowed to happen, Sebastian? We shouldn't have 2,600 pages out there already and then you go 'oops my bad.' Right? Like, you have to know what your legal team is...

These players are getting deposed all the time. They're being asked questions like 'you lose to fifteen year-olds though, right? So, you're inferior, right?'

So, you know this is happening. You have to know that the players are feeling it as well. Kelley O'Hara in one of the depositions gets asked 'Ya know, is the men's World Cup more prominent because they have more viewers and more revenue?'

And she said 'Or maybe they've just been promoted more than the women. Or maybe they've been invested more than the women. And we don't know that.'

So what I don't get, is, again, how you get to this position where you're okay with letting your legal team run all these depositions in that manner and making that the central temple of your argument. Right?

Like, okay, there are inherent differences, it's not breaking news. We get it. But don't make that a central theme of all your questioning. I don't get it.

Someone had to be the adult in the room and say 'what are we doing?' And now, it's out there, so making that statement is not gonna make the players think that all of a sudden the federation has changed their mind. I'm sorry, it doesn't work that way.
