Which is so fcking weird, in 2002 I was viciously bullied as a high school freshman with gay as a slur being the main thing. I don't think I became aware until grad school that people who weren't like, Victorian gentlemen being disgraceful ever said "queer" as a slur or nothttps://twitter.com/chrysopoetics/status/1289057933771198464 …

It's not saying one word is preferable to another it's saying we shouldn't be in the business of policing words people use for themselves

I promise you the people I’m angry at specifically for saying one word is better than another are saying one word is better than another

It seems at best disjointed specifically when packaged on “therefore instead engage with slurs reclaimed before you had to worry about it”/with “the reason ‘queer’ is okay is it already wasn’t a slur, unlike ‘gay’” and then treated as both radical and cogent.
