Acerca de esta escucha
A bold, unapologetic, and transformative exploration of queer identity, language, and liberation.
Words shape realities, define identities, and carry histories. Faggot is one such word—a slur weaponized to wound, control, and ostracize. It has echoed through hallways, been scrawled across bathroom stalls, and hurled from moving cars. But what happens when the people it was meant to harm take it back? When an insult transforms into defiance, survival, and strength?
They Call Me Faggot is more than an audiobook—it’s a reclamation. It examines language, power, history, and resistance, tracing how queer people have been named and how we’ve learned to name ourselves. It explores the origins of faggot, its role in oppression, and the ways language polices bodies and reinforces hierarchies. But it goes further—challenging what it means to reclaim words, to wield them with power, intention, and pride.
Inside this audiobook:
- A historical analysis of faggot and its use in shaping queer oppression.
- A deep dive into linguistic reclamation, informed by queer theory and lived experience.
- A critical look at intersectionality, exploring how race, class, and gender impact reclamation.
- A celebration of queer defiance, showcasing activists, artists, and everyday resistance.
- An exploration of humor, art, and community in reshaping slurs into affirmations.
- A call to action, urging listeners to rethink language, power, and identity.
Who this audiobook is for: For those who have been named by others—and those reclaiming the right to name themselves. For queer people seeking empowerment, activists reshaping discourse, and anyone who believes language is fluid, power can shift, and identity is ours to define.
Reclamation isn’t about forcing a word upon everyone—it’s about choice. It’s about dismantling its sting, rewriting its meaning, and refusing to let those who hate us set the limits of our language and our lives.

Meet Randi Burnett—she’s brilliant, she’s beautiful, and she works for the bride. Missing groom? Intoxicated in-laws? Crying ring-bearer? You name it, she wrangles it. Too bad her personal life isn’t thriving like her side gig as a bridesmaid for hire. Recently dumped, Randi throws herself into her biggest challenge yet when she’s hired as a maid of honor and pretend best friend for an ice queen bride. There’s just one problem—the best man is infuriating, overprotective, and anti-marriage.

Kyran Harbor is everything I'm not. Rich. Popular. A superstar football player who's awfully broody for someone who has it all. Basically, he's a preppy jock who hates me. Oh, and he's also my stepbrother. That's right. We're stuck together, sharing a school, a house, a bathroom. Honestly I wouldn't care if he wasn't such an uptight control freak who messes with me just because we're different. I had every intention of avoiding him when we got to college. Until abrupt misfortune forces us both into a compromising position.

A disturbing tale of a young man's uncanny ability to remain both young and beautiful while descending into a life of heartless debauchery, The Picture of Dorian Gray was considered proof of both Wilde's genius and his perversion. Oscar Wilde's scandalous best seller of 1891 was one of the most damning pieces of evidence used against him in the trial that brought about his downfall.

I cross the tracks every day for one reason - to graduate from this school and get into the Ivy League. I'm not ashamed of where I come from, my family, or how everyone at Marymount thinks my skirts are too short and my lipstick is too red. Clay Collins and her friends have always turned up their noses at me. The witch with her beautiful skin, clean shoes, and rich parents who torments me daily and thinks I won't fight back. At least not until I get her alone and find out she's hiding so much more than just what's underneath those pretty clothes.

Powerless witch Saika is ready to enact her sister's final request: to plant her remains at the famed Ash Gardens. When Saika arrives at the always-stormy sanctuary, she is welcomed by its owner, an enormous, knit-cardiganed mythical beast named Frank, who offers her a role as one of the estate's caretakers. Overcome with grief, Saika accepts, desperate to put off her final farewell to her sister. But the work requires a witch with intrinsic power, and Saika's been disconnected from her magic since her sister's death two years prior.
