I have no intention of tagging my identity or referring to it as ‘the q slur’ or tagging posts where I use my identity term as such. If my identity term is not good for you, that’s fine. You don’t have to follow me. You can, in fact, even block me.
But I’m not going to stop calling myself queer, or referring to the queer community – that is, the community of people who identify as queer, which doesn’t include you if you don’t identify as queer, so get the fuck over yourself, I don’t ask people to stop talking about ‘the gay community’ just because I’m not gay – and if that’s a problem for you, then there’s a simple solution:
Tumblr Savior the word queer. No posts including the word queer will show up on your dash. None! In the body of the post or in the tags.
See how easy that is? It doesn’t make me refer to my identity as a slur, and you don’t have to see it. Or, if you need to, don’t follow me, or block me. In fact, if you have a problem with my identity, please block me. I’d rather not accidentally reblog something from someone who thinks my identity is something I should hide.

Install Tumblr Savior. Add ‘queer’ to your blacklisted words. And leave the rest of us alone about our identity words. For fuck’s sake.
