@Duchess I don’t like the fact that people are using it without understanding its history or knowing what it used to mean, I don’t really get offended by it, I just am tired of people using it without getting the meaning and history, especially with this word, considering its a heavy topic.

me personally, I don’t think queer is necessarily a slur in any way shape or form.
-
@YLDG People call eachother “dumb,” but do they know it was originally what people called deaf people? Maybe they do know this, but are they really appreciating deaf people by calling others “dumb”?
-
@Duchess Actually, dumb was meant to mean they can’t speak

@Duchess

@Duncan-Away That’s what I meant o. o Deaf kind of had me thinking can’t speak. So, yeah, you’re right, but that’s what I was thinking.
-
@Duchess That would be mute
-
@YLDG Mute, deaf, yeah, kind of had them both as the same thing in my mind. I know they’re different. But, you get what I mean.
-
@YLDG Still, Definition aside, my point was that people call eachother dumb, but do they really mean they can’t speak? That’s the point I was trying to make.

@YLDG
This just changed everything I ever knew, when I first like, learned about it? I was told its another word for LGBTQIA+ -
