Do you think it’s purely hateful or do you think it has some merit in certain contexts?

Personally I think it is a transphobic and dehumanizing term that objectifies and sexualizes trans women based on our anatomy, that should never be used in any context, but I’d love to hear what other people think.

    So i never brought that term into a connection with trans women and it really doesn’t fit. It’s the Japanese term for hermaphrodite and is made up of the kanji for two and shape. Fairly sure to qualify as that you’d have to have two primary sexual organs.

    I’d agree with people here that in the west it’s only a fetish term and quite disgusting to use on a person (intersex, trans or whatever) without their consent
