'''Maricón''', '''marica''' or '''maraco''' is a Spanish slur most commonly used against effeminate men in general (whether they are LGBTQIA+ or not) and [[transfeminine]] individuals, though it has also been used to refer to many other queer individuals regardless of their identity. It is similar to "[[F*ggot|f*g]]" and "p*ssy" in English, and as such, it's been reclaimed by some of it's targets.
It's female equivalent is maricona/maraca.
== Etymology ==
Maricón derives from the name María, a symbol of women and a frequent first name in 16th century Spain, century and place in which the term originated. Marica, originally supposed to be the diminutive of the previously mentioned name, caught the same connotation.
