Yeah, I know what you mean. It's the same way with the word "bitch," sort of in reverse. It's the difference between a word chosen for pride (gay) being made derogatory, and a word that started out (and still is) derogatory being claimed for pride.

But what disturbs me is the long etymological history of equating effeminate or androgynous with deficiency. "You're such a girl" etc. It's something we bitches have in common with the gays. ;)
