I don't know if you even acknowledged my post, but it's called reclaiming a word sweetie.

By a minority taking a slur used against them for decades/centuries/howeverlong and reducing it to an endearing term or mere descriptor, that is empowering to that minority and is vital to their rights.

For example - gay people taking the word 'queer' and changing the definition to mean anyone who is not straight. black people using the 'n word' (which I will not use because I am white, and white people have been using that word to oppress black people for a long time) as a way to call each other 'brother', as a greeting..
