I am also older… old enough to remember when queer was a slur until we took it back. And fag and dyke and all those.

Words have power and who controls them matters. And few things piss me off more than having people try to take control - without even asking - of words and thoughts that many of us fought so fucking hard to own.

The bisexual one really sets me off.
