When a marginalized in-group reclaims a slur and transforms it into a neutral or positive term, that does not give permission to the out-group to continue to use or begin to use the term. #FactCheckThisPlease

The word "butch" was historically used as a slur but was later reclaimed by the LGBTQ+ community and is now a neutral descriptor. Other words, such as "gay" and "queer", underwent an analogous change. #FactCheck

Accuracy Alert!

The claim that the word "butch" was historically used as a slur but later reclaimed by the LGBTQ+ community and is now a neutral descriptor is accurate. Historical assertions support that "butch" was initially used to describe lesbians with masculine characteristics or gender presentations and was often used negatively. However, in the LGBTQ+ subculture, particularly since the 1940s in America, the term "butch" has been reclaimed and adopted as a positive descriptor of identity. This pattern of reclamation is similar to other terms like "gay" and "queer," which were also reappropriated by the LGBTQ+ community from their original pejorative uses to affirming ones. Reliable sources, including academic and historical references, confirm this trajectory of linguistic reclamation and transformation within the LGBTQ+ community.

Accuracy Alert!

The claim, "When a marginalized in-group reclaims a slur and transforms it into a neutral or positive term, that does not give permission to the out-group to continue to use or begin to use the term," is supported by the provided sources. According to Rappaport (2020), the use of a slur inherently presupposes contempt for its target group, indicating that even if the in-group reclaims the slur to attenuate its harmful effects, its use by out-group members would likely still carry the original derogatory connotations. Additionally, campaigns against group-based slurs aim to foster inclusivity and respect, which suggests that out-group usage of a reclaimed slur could undermine these efforts by reintroducing potentially offensive contexts. Therefore, the transformation of a slur by an in-group does not convey permission to out-groups to use the term, as the inherent context of contempt remains significant when used outside the in-group.

People like MTG and her clan need to sit down and shut the fuck up if they're not prepared for the consequences of their stupidity!

There’s an interesting divide on the Jasmine Crockett rebuttal to the unprovoked attack on her by Marjorie Green, and it’s one that like most issues in America is divided by race.

Black women and men side with Rep Jasmine, especially BW who are sick of attacks on their bodies.

🚨 BOOM! Chef José Andrés DESTROYS Gregg Abbott for dehumanizing 5 mass shooting victims in Texas.

"Nobody is illegal in heaven, ‘dear’ Gov! You speak with hate about immigrants, that rhetoric is what may have created this situation in the first place. "Show some empathy."

Kudos, Chef Andrés! 💙

Sounds yummy and I'd also make sure to mention here, there is nothing inherently wrong with consuming pasteurized cow milk. My post was specifically about raw cow milk.

American News Media: Trump is batshit crazy so we won't hold him to any kind of standard.

Also American News Media: Biden is sane and a good POTUS so we will hold him to impossible standards.

Could the people who are being verbally attacked sue the attackers for defamation and for endangering their lives? E. Jean Carroll’s team of lawyers are well versed in these matters.

I just remembered I literally make advertising posters in my sleep so I made this one and just shared it over at the bird app with a fun whale pun slogan and all.

Share this over at the bird site and

There are many reasons to avoid consuming raw milk, but the most crucial is the significant risk of E. coli infection, which far outweighs any potential benefits. Also, no, you're not going to get H5N1 antibodies from cows, but you might die.

It's so sad how he's turned tail and teamed up with Republicans, just because Biden didn't put him in his administration. He could be doing things to help the Democrats, but nope. Dude got his baby feelings crushed, and now he's gone over to the other side. I'm sure it pays well.
