I feel like so much slur discourse could get solved by discussing intent. “I’m okay with faggot but don’t like when someone yells it out a car at me.” Yeah no shit. I like physical touch in the form of a hug but don’t like it when it is in the form of a punch. People have said the word “gay” “lesbian” “trans” what have you with the most hateful vitriol they can muster because they MEAN it like a slur. So many of us have heard the tone that may as well make the word a slur.
If I saw a sign that says “I hunt members of the LGBTQIA+ community for sport” it wouldn’t really feel different from “I want to kill faggots.”
Additionally, I LIKE that it makes people cringe. It used to make me cringe. Those words have history for me too. But they also are not able to be sanitized by corporations. Shitlibs who would never rock the boat to protect me are never going to NOT shrink away at me calling myself a dyke and I do not care.
MY intent IS vitriol back, sometimes. A bold statement of attack. But sometimes it’s a joke. “His faggy mannerisms have captivated me.” Sometimes it’s a badge of honor from older queers. Sometimes it’s not that deep. What’s behind the words, what the intent is is everything.
ugly crying in the kitchen because I listened to a gay album from 1979 and then when I googled the artist I found out that not only is he alive and well, happily married with two grown children, but also he’s one of the founders of the gay bookstore where I purchased the record in the first place
the original picture (the left half of the above image) was used as the cover for the album I was listening to, “Gay Name Game”
I wanted to know more about Tom Wilson Weinberg, so I did some looking, and found out that he and his now-husband John were featured in the 1997 book “Men Together: Portraits of Love, Commitment, and Life”.
so I bought a copy of the book, and scanned the pages that feature them:
I know I’ve been over this but man HRT is good stuff. I wanna shake the hand of whoever invented it. It’s a crime that I don’t know who that is actually. They’re more important than Einstein
id also been really curious about the history of hrt so i had some tabs open:
The first hrt treatments were mostly estrogen extracted during pregnancies to be used for menopause symptoms, but the first usage of those medicines for trans women is credited to the world’s first Trans Clinic, opened in pre-WW2 Germany by Magnus Hirschfield, a gay jewish man.
Oh he looks delightful
Thank you grandpa
The comparasion to Einstein was actually made at the time too! He was commonly refered to as “the Einstein of sex”, to which he supposedly once replied that he would rather Einstein be called “the Hirschfeld of physics” lmao
