Also i may make it more transparent that there even IS an about page that should be read. I dont like putting that stuff in my sidebar but if the issue persists I may do it. But to lightly elaborate on what I mean when I say i dont want it used in reference to my work:

Futa as a term in…

Okay, I’m going to lay down some counter knowledge right now since a LOT of people use the term ‘transgender’ INCORRECTLY when talking about Futa.

Firstly, Transgender does NOT refer to a person’s ANATOMY. It means that you were born feeling as if you aren’t the correct gender. It’s a gender construct issue, not a matter of physical appearances. 


Secondly, what is being referred to is called Inter-sexed or a ‘hermaphrodite’. A person who has part or full functioning organs of both genders. A futa. A Futanari.  FUTANARI, by the way, IS the Japanese word for a Hermaphrodite/Intersexed person. So when you say that ‘futa’ is a slur, you’re incorrect. Futanari is the actual Japanese word for these people. It’s just been adopted as the main tag due to anime/manga culture appropriation. 


If you aren’t fluent in Japanese like I am, it takes about 60 seconds of Google searches to find these terms and educate yourself. The continued propagation of misinformation needs to stop. 

I’m all for helping people reach equality.

I’m all for NOT using slurs.

But when it’s CALLED for. Futa is NOT a slur. It’s a slang term referring to a PROPER word for these people. Which is INTERSEXED NOT TRANSGENDERED. 


Stop the misinformation, people. This isn’t how we progress as a culture or community.

hi

“hermaphrodite” is not a synonym for “intersex”

in fact the word “intersex” was coined to get away from “hermaphrodite”, which refers to a phenomenon that cannot happen in humans

so it’s kind of frustrating to see you use them interchangeably, especially in a post where you’re railing against misused terminology

“intersex” means (literally) somewhere between two types of genitals (and maybe other sexual characteristics), and it happens to humans sometimes

“hermaphrodite” means simultaneously having multiple forms of genitals; it generally refers to members of an entire species for whom this is the norm. this is most likely what you’re gonna see in porn. there cannot be a human hermaphrodite, because our genitals develop from the same tissue. it can develop into a dick and balls, or a clit and ovaries, or sometimes somewhere in between (intersex), but you cannot have both.

stop the misinformation, people. it takes about 60 seconds of google searches to find these terms and educate yourself
