Every word associated with trans people, dumb people, or black people eventually becomes a pejorative and then the group decides its offensive to use that term anymore. Just wait a few years and they'll change it anyway and call you a fascist for using the previous term they chose.

I can't wait until they "reclaim" the names that are currently banned in this sub lol.

It's not only that, but the offended decide what the meaning is behind the words you use.

I was literally just about to write a trolling post on a trans sub about how "enby" is offensive. I think I'll sit back and see if it happens on it's own.
