I was first called a dyke then bull dyke in elementary school. I had no idea what it meant and the boy who was calling me that was hitting my head from his seat on the bus behind me. So I grabbed his backpack and and flipped him over the seat.
All the gay slurs were the most common to use against me. Though I did get called a n- lover a few times as well.
When I was younger I fought back physically and/ or verbally. As I got older I would just question the person on why what they were calling me was a bad thing.
Though I do think my favorite come back for any of the gay slurs when thrown by afab people would be saying: “yeah and trust me, it will never be an issue for you.” While giving them the up and down with a disgusted expression. Seeing the confusion then anger then confusion go across their faces was always amazing. They couldn’t argue with it other wise they would be saying they wanted to be seen as attractive by someone of the same sex.

All the examples you told, say absolutely nothing about you but tons of things about the other person.
They are basically shouting “LOOK AT ME, I’M A HATEFUL BIGOT!!”
Thats way worse then anything they could call you.
That’s pretty advice, but doesn’t help much when you’re a kid who’s getting chronicly bullied while the adults look on.
I didn’t say this would help nor did I give any advice. I just stated my opinion about bigoted bullies.
Sorry you had to go thru that…nice comeback BTW…no sarcasm.
