Reappropriation
I promise I'm not completely obsessed with all things queer. But here's another post on it. A rant actually, which I usually avoid.
I'm so used to surrounding myself with relatively enlightened people, or at least people who know better than to act ignorantly around me, that I've almost ceased to be aware that terms like 'queer', 'dyke' etc. are derogatory to some people.
Almost.
But when some arsehole walks along, and completely unprovoked says, in a high-pitched 'funny' voice 'Hello dyke!' just after passing me, I remember.
And I'm bloody annoyed.
