Only a fat guy can say to another fat guy that he is fat. The same goes for being bald. If you don't belong there, then you are not allowed to use that term, since it instantly understood as a pejorative.
The above mentioned word is an example of a (a)melioration of sort.

You can also have a look at cultural/linguistic processes called Reappropriation (Reclaiming) and Semantic change. That explains a lot.
