If a transwoman has such an allegedly female identity, why would it be okay for them to call themselves a slur used against gay men? Seems like if they really thought they were women they’re just being homophobic and claiming it’s ok because...? They’re not gender normative? Sexist and homophobic double whammy.

Slurs are gross and imo it’s gross to perpetuate them as a cute funny reclaimed name. Being called a dyke for my clothing choices never made me wanna embrace the term as a somewhat gnc woman. It just made me resent the idea that lesbians are inferior people who have a dress code.

It doesn’t appear to do anything to stop the slur from being used as a slur, or more importantly, to quell the ideas that lead to the slurs being used.
