Slurs are verbal violence against people's identity and immutable characteristics. They're not just “mean words”. Not every word you don't like is automatically a slur.
Slurs attack a person. That mean word you're crying about on twitter merely (and rightly so) attacked your views.
A minoritised community calling you racist, homophobic, terf or whatever isn't “oppressing you”. They're calling you out. They aren't “hating you”, they're shaming you.
Shaming you into changing your hateful views. Cause you can do that. You can simply stop being an asshole towards trans people, queer people, people of colour, or whichever other minoritised group you've decided to bash today. Nothing bad is gonna happen to you if you just start being a decent human being.
So no, TERF is not a slur. It's an accurate description of your disgusting, hurtful, hateful views.
Stop playing a victim, you bigoted asshole.
]]>LGBTQ+ does work. We go together, hand in hand. We fight for each other's rights. It's the “T” who threw the first bricks in Stonewall.
Blabbing about “separate issues” is just you trying to mask that you're EMBARRASSED to be associated with trans people.
It's transphobia 🙄
All letters in LGBTQ+ are about gender. About who society thinks you're allowed to be, to do, to wear, whom to love – all depending on the gender of people involved.
Some people get discriminated against because of the gender of their partners, but some – because of their own.
It's all about human rights. It's all about the same principles and values. It's all about letting people live the life they want, need and deserve. It's all about being a decent human being to each other.
