You don’t.

As much as we might like to say terms can be reclaimed the judge of that is the listener… you need to comprehend how all the people you’re talking to or who hear your words repeated will feel about it - just avoid derogatory terms.

Does the term describe yourself? If not, you haven’t reclaimed it.

Has that ever actually worked? Cause I know no examples of universally “reclaimed” words. Just some that are fine if you strictly use them to refer to yourself.

“Queer” is probably the only one that has (mostly?) been.

Yeah, it’s now a term that people request they be referred to as by others, not just in group.

If you have to ask, probably don’t use it.

Language is constantly evolving. There is no clear line. New words are added, meanings change, and it depends on the intent of the speaker too.

However as a mater of practice I choose to never assume it has been reclaimed. It’s always possible that someone hasn’t received the update.
