RuPaul

Claimed that the only difference between a trans* woman and a drag queen is “$25,000 and a good surgeon” 

"T****y, it's ridiculous! It's ridiculous!... I love the word "t****y"...And I hate the fact that he's [Lance Bass] apologized. I wish he would have said, 'F-you, you tr****y jerk!'"

"Of the ABC sitcom, "Work It," in which two straight men dress in drag in order to get jobs and which has been criticized by gay and transgender activists for mocking transgender women, RuPaul implores the activists: "Don't take life so seriously... We live in a culture where everyone is offended by everything.""

Claims the t word is not a slur aimed at trans* women

Quote: "I've been a t****y for 32 years. The word t****y has never just meant transsexual #TransvestiteHerstoryLesson "It's not the word itself, but the intention behind the word "The absurdity! It's as if Jay Z got offended by Kanye using the word "N*****"

Did a mini-challenge on RuPaul's Drag Race titled "Female or She-Male" which was later edited out of the episode due to the controversy surrounding it. This also led to the end of the catchphrase "You've got She-Mail"

The catchphrase "You got She-Male" used on RuPaul's Drag Race

Supports Shirley Q. Liquor who is known for doing blackface. Stating, "Critics who think that Shirley Q. Liquor is offensive are idiots. Listen, I've been discriminated against by everybody in the world: gay people, black people, whatever. I know discrimination, I know racism, I know it very intimately. She's not racist, and if she were, she wouldn't be on my new CD." (x) (x)

Uses the term "serving fish" in reference to a drag queen that is very feminine, some say this is a referral to the scent of a vagina and can be considered gynophobic.

"Does the word ‘t****y’ bother me? No. I love the word ‘t****y.’ … It’s not the transexual community who’s saying that. These are fringe people who are looking for storylines to strengthen their identity as victims. That is what we are dealing with. It’s not the trans* community. ‘Cause most people who are trans* have been through hell and high water… But some people haven’t and they’ve used their victimhood to create a situation where, ‘No! You look at me! I want you to see me the way you’re supposed to see me!’ You know, if your idea of happiness has to do with someone else changing what they say, what they do, you are in for a fucking hard-ass road… I dance to the beat of a different drummer. I believe everybody — you can be whatever the hell you wanna be, I ain’t stopping you. But don’t you dare tell me what I can do or what I can’t — say or can’t do. It’s just words, like, ‘Yeah, you hurt me!’ Bitch, you need to get stronger. If you’re upset by something I said you have bigger problems than you think.”" - in an interview on WTF with Marc Maron in response to activists who have labeled RuPaul's Drag Race as problematic

This is a feminist thesis on the topic of Rupaul and his show (x)

Apology

Hey guys, its L here. I jsut wanted to apologize for two things. 1. Being the situation with the asterick. I didn't mean to confuse anyone or make anyone feel like they are being left out. I'm working on a way to include everyone and not be problematic. 2. That rant I put up months ago. That was really not a response befitting the situation and not appropiate behavior for a mod. So again, I apologize.-L

I just wanted to let you guys know that adding an asterisk to "trans" and also to things like "trans woman" or "transphobia" is transphobic in that it's used to exclude people who arent "trans enough" (so they cant be trans, but they're allowed in if there's an asterisk), and also from what i understand it is commonly used against trans women as a form of transmisogyny. thanks!

I actually had no idea that was considered transphobia. Thanks for informing me!-L

hey ok, i don't know who told you about the word "antiziganist", if it was a Rroma person then you can ignore this, but just so you know, the word "zigan" in my language (Romanian - "ţigan", pronounced sorta like the ts in tsar) has been deemed by Romanian Rroma ethnics as a slur and unusable by white ppl. If an actual Rroma person said the word is ok, sure, i can understand, they're obviously much better informed than me (i'm white romanian), but i just thought I'd throw this your way 

Main Mod (callingoutbigotry) here

I don't remember where I heard it, I read it on Tumblr somewhere. I had no idea about this. I really should have looked into it and done my research before using it. This is all my fault and I'm so sorry to anyone I hurt. Thank you for informing me. I'll stop using it and go back to delete it from old posts.
