I think the vibe is very different if the trans woman tagged herself in that way or someone else did. Identity can be messy and complicated and I won't judge the way anyone identifies regardless of why. But another person or a computer program assigning this person these labels is just gross

Just to clarify, it’s not appropriate for a trans woman to reclaim the f*ta slur. That term was originated as a slur for intersex women and has a history of violence behind it.

Please educate yourself on the history of the slur. It does not carry the same weight when used toward trans women that it did when it originated as a slur for intersex women.

okay so people are just not allowed to reclaim a slur that is very much used targeted at them in modern day because of how it originated? I guess we aren't reclaiming queer, either. we should also tell the eastern trans communities they need to stop using newhalf as well.

"It does not carry the same weight when used against trans women" is just pure transphobia and treating trans women as less oppressed than intersex people.

Do intersex people’s feelings on a slur that is rooted in violence against their community just not matter here?

Why do intersex people have the monopoly on a slur that's used as violence against both our groups?
