"In trans community, we’re in the midst of creating a myriad of words." -Eli Clare
Words can't create thoughts because we make up new words.
Thoughts create words.
However, words like, "Faggot!" when shouted through a car window, bring camraderie to the yellers, and meaningful negativity is released.
But we can own our words.
Words themselves aren't the enemy.
It's all usage.
We can own our words.
And we must.
And we must keep yelling back.
