At the End of All Things - Star Wars fan art by Guillem H. Pongiluppi
“This is a dramatic Star Wars Fanart about the last battle between Vader and Ahsoka Tano”
Y'know, I NEVER do it on main and it's sort of nerve-wracking even on THE SECRET TUMBLR, but I absolutely use the T-word referring to myself constantly. I got it yelled at me a lot as a teenager (as well as the more classic faggot) before I cut my hair/started binge-eating/grew a denial beard and NOW, transitioning, it feels powerful taking it back
but also it's so fucking loaded in most queer spaces that you just can't, I dunno, joke to a trusted friend about "my tranny ass catching feelings for a stiff breeze again" and my god do I want to take it back because it feels like a middle finger to every asshole bogan who hollered it at me from the cab of his beat up ute, like hell yeah I'm a tranny what now fuckwit
There's also extra power in using the specific words that you know a major corporation isn't going to slap on a rainbow and sell back to you. Coca-cola's never going to call you that word. It can't belong to them, only to you.
