http://caveofrationality.blogspot.com/2010/03/is-calling-->-bleeped-<--offensive-word.htmlNo thats not a joke. Or a defence of bigotry.
This is a VERY serious question.
One relating to Cultural Imperialism, to Class, to Transphobia between subsets of Transgender, to anti-sex-worker hate too.
The calls for ->-bleeped-<- to be considered a dirty word have been substantial. And they have some clear merit. Most of the time we encounter the word in the general media it's used as a derogatory word.
