River's World of Nonconformity

Teens have literally developed tics from tiktok (yes, really). Disproportionately girls and trans identified teens...

"The adolescents were overwhelmingly girls, or were transgender or nonbinary — though no one knows why."

No one knows why teen girls would be particularly vulnerable to this, not like being a teen girl in a patriarchal, hypersexualized and pedophilic society is horrifically stressful! No one knows why teens who are susceptible to one form of social contagion would also be susceptible to another!

DID claims in particular seem like a loneliness thing, like a lot of kids don't have many irl friends so they've made up friends who live in their heads.

Also, are you gonna start getting mad about black people reclaiming the n word next?

There's this thing called not contributing. It's like how I don't call women b*c even though if I personally stopped it wouldn't stop misogyny. It's because I don't want to be part of the problem, and let others around me think that it's okay behavior.

If you want to learn more about the history of gay conservatism in the US I would recommend reading "Coming out Republican: A History of the Gay Right" by Neil J. Young

To say that "conservatives will always find us strange and try to kill us." is factually incorrect. Homophobes find us strange and want to kill us. Many homophobes are Republican and many homophobes are Democrats.

You can argue for gay rights using conservative political stances (like small government and pro privacy) and you can argue against gay rights using progressive political stances (inclusivity against homosexuality I.E. "your club, organization, sexual orientation is bigoted because it doesn't include the opposite sex")

I mean, faggot doesn't mean all homosexuals. Freak isnt a word solely used against the queer community. Like, you being mad that people are reclaiming a slur isn't relevant. Stop being mad about trans people

Weird, I didn't mention trans people but you jumped to your own defense anyway.

Faggot absolutely can mean pretty much all lgbt people, I don't think there's a part of the community who I haven't heard a member talk about being called a faggot at one point or another.

As for freak, that's not really lgbt centric, but queer is and is essentially a way of saying homosexual freak as Queer means weird and/or otherwise abnormal and also homosexual/gay.

The first person I ever met that had and voiced this opinion was a transgender person all the way back in 2014. She would tag every post that used the word with "qslur" and block people for defending it's use.

Anon says not to be mad at people "reclaiming slurs" but reclamation can only be done by individuals, it's not reclamation to force it onto other people.

I once read someone (don't remember who, sorry) point out that there's a reason we don't call women's studies "bitch studies" or African and black studies "n-word history". Yet that is essentially what has happened to same sex attracted and gender non-conforming people. Our entire lives have been branded with a slur and if we object to being called it we're somehow the problem.

Taking the photo and caption at face value, you don't know these people, they could have absolutely been the leftist most pro black anti vietnam protesters ever, and now you've just shown them that you are not to be trusted, aggressive and outright hostile.
