I think it’s gotten tremendously better but there are definitely still people like that out there :/ I’m sorry. Have you tried at least correcting your best friend and telling how that makes you feel? I think it would be easiest to start there, or reconsider who you call your best friend if they dismiss you

Idk. I tell people how I feel about it and they just ignore me and keep using it. Anyone relate? Or anyone disagree? I’d be interested in hearing an opposing view. I know the black people have reclaimed the n word and use it, is this similar? (Obviously racism and ableism are different, but I’m talking on a slur basis) can the r word be used casually…? And why do people feel the need to do so?
