I started using “gurl” as a gender neutral term, like “dude” with my male friends!

critters 🐞 :
as a twink (effeminate gay man) i genuinely despise that people don’t know what twink truly means anymore it feels like erasure of an entire queer subculture

a lot of this language is actually AAVE and originates in Black queer and trans communities specifically

Eeehhh, I don't agree with the top/bottom part. It causes confusion with dom/sub and makes life harder for those of us who don't fall into the box of top=dom bottom=sub. Signed SubTop

homo :
in terms of the stereotypical gay male language, absolutely, but language among young queer people is absolutely not the same, narrowing a lot - look into lex Konnelly semantic authority

mango.historian :
I think ima have to disagree with you on this one. A lot of “gay slang” primarily comes from black culture, but also even in the case of “twink” it’s non-queer people who’ve made the term broader

OddStoriesForStrangers :
please discuss the linguistic background and social perspective difference in groups reclaiming words. how society views gay reclaiming terms, vs black culture reclaiming their terms

Oscar Mitchell :
Do you think these words will have their original meanings diluted due to broad/popular use so much, that in a few decades we’ll be using new terms for tops/queen etc? Or will they just get less camp?
