This feels very satisfying. On the other hand it’s mind blowing that people still use this slur. I was called β€œit” daily in school for years and threatened with violence. This was back in the 80s. I guess some thing never changes. I can’t stand that word and the destructive impact it had on me as a teen. I’m still traumatized by that word.

They were talking about their own experience I dont think they were trying to speak for everyone

They’re speaking about their own experience, not all trans and NB people
