5 months agoWords can be harmful even if you don’t mean them to be. If the slur doesnt apply to you, you should not be using it. If it does apply to you, there is a discussion to be had, but i still avoid using the slurs that apply to me in most cases because they rarely have a positive effect on the point or joke i am making.
My dad died 5 years ago. He was not a perfect man, but he was good. He loved his kids more than anything. He died because of a medical procedure that he was too scared to tell us the details about. I miss him a lot. He never got to know that he had a second daughter, but i am certain he would have loved and supported me through my transition.
