If those words can be changed to mean something positive then why shouldn't they be reappropriated? It's better than them being derogatory no?
Agreed.
But it's not for you to determine whether someone should be offended by your use of them.
You can't say, it's fine for me to use these words as I'm re-appropriating them with good intentions, so you can't be offended or ask me to stop.
