it’s been 0 (zero) days since someone last reblogged one of my posts and tagged it #q slur

im not joking when i say i insta-block people for doing this btw. i have had enough of that shit. recognize it as a queerphobic microaggresson and stop doing it or stay the fuck away from my queer ass

how is it a “queerphobic microaggression” to tag words that have frequently been levelled against LGBT people and have the potential to trigger them

we’ve been over this a million times but i will give you a very quick tl;dr

its queerphobic because no other reclaimed slur is treated the same way that queer is treated. like as an example, there are no people pushing for any posts with the word gay in it to be tagged as “#g slur”, yet it is a word that is used just as much like a slur as queer is.

and i have personally been attacked by being called “gay” far more than queer. but i dont ask people to tag their identity as a slur. because i recognize that it would be homophobic to do so.

yet somehow, it is totally okay to shit all over queer people, and if you’re called out on the queerphobic behaviour you call it “”””queerphobia”””” in quotationmarks to invalidate it. nice. /sarcasm

if people need the word blocked, they can blacklist the word itself. either by xkit or tumblr saviour or similar. they can blacklist “queer” and check “don’t show why post was blacklisted” and boom. no queer posts on their dash. no need to reduce queer people’s identities to a slur with a queerphobic tag.

and there are other browser extensions that are not tumblr-exclusive that can replace one word with another – for example they can replace “queer” with something that isn’t triggering. and if they installed something like that, they wouldn’t even need to blacklist any posts. because to them, the word queer would not be shown.

what i’m saying is that the tag is not necessary to help people protect themselves. all it does is cause harm to queer people by telling us that our identity is a dirty slur and nothing more.
