    No one has issues with the word when it isn’t the slur. If they do, they’re in the wrong. (Yes, using the word as the deprecated medical term is also the slur)

    Pissed off that you can’t use the slur anymore? Blame everyone who used it as an insult, turning it into a slur.

    Angry that things changed? That’s the way things work. Might as well be mad about weather or the movement of time.

    Cool. Not for you then, eh?

    “Bakery down the road is closing” the person on the street corner says to anyone listening, “here are some alternatives”

    “I don’t eat baked goods, they’re bad for you” you reply

    “O- oh okay. Thanks for letting me know… I guess. Wasn’t really talking to you, then”






  • One of my special interests is humor (probably because of my difficulties with it) and I like to know why things work. If you can’t put it into words, that’s fine. It’s a fairly common response, to the point where “it isn’t funny if you have to explain it” is a common saying.

    Don’t tell people it’s not important if they ask. That just makes people feel excluded because it’s clearly important to them.
