No, that last part about "how you define yourself is offensive" is truly staggering to me. Because...no.

Yes, there is a chance that, say, a gay individual that refers to him/herself as "faggot" has institutionalized the negative connotations of the word, but I have also known one or two men who were very confident and very secure in their identities and sexuality who referred to themselves ass faggot in a tongue-in-cheek sense.

So, yeah. I am firmly of the opinion that NOBODY has the right to determine how people identify themselves. If I want to refer to myself as a "hysteric fit-prone cunt" (referring to my depression, epilepsy and ovaries respectively) then nobody should get to say I can't. I'm not about to, but I feel that if I felt like it, I should be able to. If it came from a place of self-hatred, then perhaps I could be directed to seek help, but if it doesn't....well....yeah. End of story.
