I can understand why a queer person would disagree with the use of the word "fag" for any reason, I really do (and especially if it has been used to bully them in the past). I'm sure many homosexual men and women have been called fags in the past by some asshole who wanted to make them feel bad about their sexuality, and I completely understand them being offended by just the USE of the word.

However, I think it's very inappropriate and somewhat hypocritical for you to be telling other people, particularly other queer people, how they should be identify with the word "fag". I think the gist of the argument on this secret is that it's understandable to be offended by this word, and I don't think anybody would NOT understand that - but it's NOT okay for you to be telling another gay person how THEY should feel about the word and its re-appropriation.

tl;dr, if you are offended, fine. But as a bisexual woman, you have NO right to tell me that -I- have to be offended by it, too. It's NOT your place to be policing other queer people on how they identify with that word.
