I saw the name, and this feels especially awkward because I'm trans.
Thankfully, I don't need a job anymore.
(Bradenton is super far from me too, like WTF.)
It's so weird seeing this slur, when I remember when the term originated as a self-identifier for the trans community on Something Awful (trans goons) way back in like 2009-2010. It's like, the opposite of reclaiming a slur.
Also kind of confusing with current online slang as it makes it sound like it’s a trans person who likes to goon a lot.
Right? I can't take bigots using it seriously. Like, you're trying to be an awful person but you're too scared to use the actual t slur so you just say the most frenworld shit ever?
I once saw a comment online where someone thought it was etymologically-related to "cartoon", so I 100% believe there are people online who thinks that's what it means.
I guess it's the dyphemism treadmill at work...
Server is not a slur.
idk sometimes i feel like i use it like one when i worked BOH in a restaurant
"fuckin servers, man. can't stack plates, can't fill the linen bags, always need silverware run right now"
I think we have TROONsistioned to other realities?
Anyways, troon is the word
Btw you seem to be a lurker considering your account was made almost a year ago yet no comments than this 1st one...
That's kinda
and?
So what does it actually mean in this context lmao
