Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No bigotry of any kind, including ironic bigotry.
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

I just learned about this tonight! Mom was telling the story that she had always been taught that original version until the school was like "Actually you can't say that word. Say tiger instead." She's not racist, (at least not intentionally) and seems like she's trying to be anti-racist too. She just learned that saying as a child and didn't realize it was a word she shouldn't say.
I get it. I was raised in a very queerphobic 80s and 90s, and I said all kinds of casually homo and transphobic things as a kid. I am a trans lesbian today. You have to unlearn the bad lessons you pick up as a kid
