    If you were to come up with a word for an insulting noun based on the name of a marginalised identity, what would that word be?

    I’ll provide a few other words which are insulting nouns based on the name of a marginalised identity: sp*rg, r*tard, tr*nny, h*mo, aut*st

    Can you think of a word that succinctly categorises all of these words?

      marginalised identity

      Identity… wasn’t it a “gender” a moment ago? As in, “don’t misgender”? 🙄

      Neither autist, nor homosexual, nor narcissist are slurs. If we look at other “marginalising” words, there are some more non-slurs like: rapist, murderer, felon, poor, ugly… etc.

      Tough luck, but being NPD doesn’t get a pass at claiming it neither a gender, nor a slur. Its socially negative nature also doesn’t get a pass at embracing it instead of trying to change. The onus is not on society’s end with this one.

      (PS: as a “PD cluster A, B, and C, on the spectrum, others pending”, NPD is like “that’s all?” 😆😐)
