you can reclaim a slur when:

• it applies to you

you cannot reclaim a slur when:

• it applies to your “best friend”

you cannot reclaim a slur even when

• it has been used against you, but doesn’t apply to you

(eg, men can be called p*ssies and b*tches, but the only reason it’s “degrading” is because you are being called a “woman,” so these slurs do not apply to you, these words are not yours to use or reclaim)
