ok but can we as a society stop assuming that just cos a queer person is under the age of 30, doesn't mean they haven't experienced some form of bigotry directed at them because of their identity lol????
#personal
#jsut read a post that annoyed me SO fucking much jfc...
#someone in their late 20s claiming that queer teens can't reclaim slurs because they havent experienced bigotry
#and like i'm not getting into that discourse here (even tho it's rly kinda dumb imo)
#but the thing that annoyed me the most was the insinuation that teens now experience no homophobia/transphobia/etc
#when we KNOW htat hate crimes against queer people are on the rise
#all across the world!!!
#not to mention that there are still a tonne of countries in the world where it's still illegal to be gay in the first place
#like ??? how tone deaf can u be to not realise that not every queer teen is privileged lol???
#it reminds me SO much of older generations complaining about 'kids these days have it so much easier than we did!'
#when like ??? yeh that's the fucking point lol
#u fight fot the rights of the next gens in the hope they wont have to go thru the shit u have!
#but for this person to essentially be like 'silly teenager doesnt know what REAL prejudice is'
#(which like... how do u even know that unless ur friends w/ that teen lol???)
#is so stupid and annoying...
#also i know i said i wasnt gonna talk about it here but: queer isnt a slur lol
#like if u personally have issues w/ that then ofc i understand if u dont want to use it or hear it
#but to blanket statement that people can't use things like 'queer' just cos they havent been discriminated against???
#so fucking dumb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#sorry for ranting
#this just bugged me so much lol
#also i wasnt gonna respond to the post because i'm not interested in starting drama
#i just think op of this post was incredibly misguided lol
