Just curious, Is it still wrong to call the art-side representation of a furry or human with multiple functional sexual parts a Hermaphrodite? I don't really see them as intersex, because the parts are fully functional usually. Is it more appropriate for furries but not for humans? I had always thought that the meaning of intersex was tied in with trans* to mean in transition, so I didn't want to use it for the other purpose, but is it more appropriate/correct than hermaphrodite?
iiiii don’t know.
“intersex” isn’t really right because that’s just not what the word means. (it doesn’t imply transition either — intersex people can identify as whatever gender, or not, just like anyone else.)
any form of “trans” is clearly wrong
i only see “futa” used to describe japan’s usual interpretation of the idea which is a giant dick where the clit goes?? which isn’t even hermaphroditism? also i have heard that it has not-great connotations in japan? ??? i don’t know anything
i can’t think of any words offhand that actually mean the same thing
if we can just figure out how to pronounce “⚥”
