No way, not in my book. I've been called slurs like "dyke" despite not being lesbian, and I don't think that gives me any right to reclaim it.

I'm also not a fan of slurs being reclaimed. Women who go around saying "slut" and "whore" and "bitch" are reclaimed annoy the fuck out of me. They are still horrible and derogatory words, and I refuse to associate with people who use them.

Thank you for sharing, I can see you feel really strongly about this

Ha, no problem. And yeah, I hate slurs with a passion.
