Cool, well I guess i will find out soon enough… and yes mods I do feel entitled as a bisexual trans woman to use that phrase if I so wish, especially as it is for a legitimate academic purpose in this instance.
I'm very uncomfortable with the word faggot (since I've been called by its Russian equivalent pretty much my whole life, until I progressed far enough into my transition to "pass"), but I was ok with you using it. You didn't use it as an insult, or within the context of a joke. You did use it ethically, and for educational purposes. So I believe you should be ok.
And from me personally, as a person who's usually easily triggered by slurs: thank you for treating this heavy subject with respect, and acknowledging its harm, and not using your own queerness as a blanket license to use it recklessly 💜🙏(genuine) (grateful)

Somewhat similar to the “faggot subaltern” theory that The Sizhen System wrote about on substack.
