if ten years from now, it becomes okay for people to call women bitches, the bitch community, take bitch studies at college, formally refer to women as bitches in the newspaper, im not gonna magically like that. even if every other person on the planet says it’s fine and it doesn’t mean something bad anymore, im never gonna be comfortable with it. and until the day i die i feel the same way about the word queer. people think if they get enough people to agree with them about the way things are, that just makes it so. but you can’t just erase the history of something like that. im still here, those i love and i still got called that by cruel people, and if you’re too callous to give a shit that’s on you.
