Transfag

I've never heard this term before. Is this something people actually used to call male transsexuals? Or a moniker self-applied by transmen?

queertransfag

Okay that one can't be real, lol.

Scratched out of the history books.

Scratching gay, bisexual, lesbian, and "cis" GNC people out of the history books to replace them with "bUT tHeY wErE aCtuAlLy TrAnS!" Like Malcolm Michaels Jr. Say his REAL NAME. If you respect "self-ID" so much, then why won't you respect the fact that he self-identified as a gay man who did drag and not as transgender?

Queer liberation now!

I'm not "queer" and I want no part in this movement.

Side note: look at how this poem describes violence. The poem completely ignores any stories of real violence experienced by gay rights activists, in favor of implying that words are violence, e.g. "the ricochet of the real name" no you weren't literally shot when someone used the wrong name for you. I think that makes a mockery of the real violence that has, in fact, been directed at LGB and GNC people throughout history, and still is in many places throughout the world.

"Fat girl using slurs that aren't hers to reclaim" was one of the replies, good.

That's one of the things that should (but doesn't) peak ordinary LGBs: let's ignore life-threatening or lethal physical assaults on gay men (mostly but sometimes lesbians) while we cry about misgendering and other minor linguistic infractions.

Oh, and that poem was such an abomination that I had to stop reading 1/3 of the way through.
