the day they try to take drag from us is the day the bridge is officially burnt imo. it is shaky enough as it is.
Wasn't censoring RuPaul's show that day?
Almost. :v They're on thin ice. It was an outrage. I can't even share my favorite rupaul song anymore because it has the T word in it.
If that word is a slur for transpeople, I think that's fair. We know enough of the cruelty we've endured to make an effort not to inflict that on our allies. And trans people are our allies. The average young adult gay man has no idea who Marsha P. Johnston, or Sylvia Riviera is and only watched enough of Paris is Burning to steal the queer slang. Transpeople have been bleeding in the name of gay rights from jump, and some of us have the goddamn nerve to erase them or disrespect them. That deeply offends my sense of justice. It should offend all of us.
Rupaul has been performing in drag since the 80s. >_> She should be able to say the T word. ---
