If you speak to someone who has not reappropriated the word

So literally anyone that isn't LGBTQ+ or an ally? I'm sorry I don't see how you can believe that bigots will teach their kids anything other than what they teach them. It's difficult to call this an 'old mentality' when plenty of young people participate in it. Like, seriously: perceptions of LGBTQ+ people have shifted so wildly in the past few years (particularly revolving around trans people) that I'm baffled this is still a conversation.

but we showed you it definitely changed, in a lot of situations, for a lot of people.

For whom? Certainly not for trans people, if what you're saying worked then why are so many people supportive of Trump? Is this an 'old mentality'? Odd how it manages to gain so much power if it's a dying breed.

Idk dude, make of it what you will — I do not believe reappropriation is anything other than defining yourself with the words of your oppressors. I will not be doing that.
