Post reblogged from I'm a cheeky bastard. with 444 notes

Am I allowed to use this word to describe myself?

iamateenagefeminist:

1. Has this word been used against a specific group of people in the past or is it being used against a specific group of people in the present? 
  • If no then you are allowed to use that word to describe yourself. 
  • If yes then move onto question two

2. Are you a part of the group the word has been used against?

  • If yes then you are allowed to use that word to describe yourself 
  • If no then you are not allowed to use that word to describe yourself. 
  • If “no, but!” move onto question three.

3. Are other people in the group the word has been used against telling you that you are not allowed to use that word?

  • If yes you should probably check your privilege and not use that word to describe yourself. 

alright let’s throw the brakes on this shit post fucking haste

anyone saying you are allowed or not allowed to use a word, an idea, or a concept is a prick, and is trying to censor people

censorship is bad - no exceptions
