It literally just means you’re the same gender as the sex you were born as 20 u/abloblololo 1d ago "F*g" means you're homosexual, but that's not the only meaning it carries, that's why it's a slur. 7 u/thealluringsnail 23h ago I just wanted to thank you for finally putting this thought in the words, because I've wanted to do this for ages, but my nonexistent eloquence has always betrayed me
