A Staten Island woman buying pot from a local deli got into a misunderstanding with the cashier — who ended up macing her, dragging​ her outside by her hair, kicking her in the head and mistakenly calling her trans.

    That is good to hear. Hopefully this cunt will be in prison for a huge chunk of their life.

      So in a conversation about someone commiting a hate crime based on someones genetalia you decide to use a term specifically used to debase people by calling them female genetalia and it seems people even upvote you for it. Great. And you even think you are being supportive.

          look, it’s a word most american women don’t hear directed at themselves outside of really hateful or abusive contexts. i have been called “bitch” in the grocery store. i was called “cunt” by my abuser, and only by him.

          the person who challenged you has a good point - the use of that word in american culture is intended to be particularly dehumanizing and degrading to women.

          compare - if you had used “n…” you would have likely been challenged there as well, regardless of your intent in using that word or your own identity.
