The problem with the Term Cuntboy
10 years ago
I'm so tired
I've always hated this term. I never liked it. I've never been interested in taking commissions for characters who are referred to with it. (especially for references, I'd rather trans/transmasculane or intersex, etc.)
The same goes for 'dickgirl'
home put this into excellent wording more than i ever could.

i dont think you even really read the article did you
hell ive seen people bitch that the terms bara and waifu are derogatory
You are missing the point entirely.
"its not my fault u r offend"
this is sounding too familiar :P
cuntboys = boys with vagina
they are the same thing. you don't have to transition to be trans. the only people who should be using this are trans men or intersex ppl who are reclaiming the word, since it's just a word to fetishize them
there's no reason to even call them cuntboys, just call them boys
I call them cuntboys" while aknowledging the existence of a proper term for it is not only pretentious but ignorant.
You don't have the right to decide whether trans slurs are offensive or not, and I'm shocked that you think you're the one that's correct here. Way to go aknowledging that you're being an asshole, though.
I've already blocked you so I wouldn't waste your time trying to reply.
Those persons words are great.
When people call themselves that I wanna be like "Pls stop" but I don't wanna come off like I'm judging them or like I'm superior or something xD
who cares people don't care they just want to continue to objectify and fetishize the things they get off to.
It's super cool of you to repost the journal, though! Sorry you're getting assholes uwu
don't have anything against the c boy term myself... but man the environment around it has just become so amazingly toxic
Honestly, as a trans man myself, the term 'cuntboy' and 'dickgirl' seriously pisses me off to no end.
I've seen the term be used (mostly around FA) but I didn't want to seem like "that guy" so I just stood silent.
There really isn't any argument for the usage for it, people just enjoy fetishizing everything.
its just gross and makes it feel like trans ppl are being sexualized.
instead of dickgirl/herm and cunt boy why not just say trans or intersex ??
Since if they call themselves that then other people will think that it's okay to call other transgender men that, which for the vast majority, is incredibly disgusting and degrading to be called.
My best suggestion is to not use that term at all.
Because we live in a binary-gender society, if queer people want to get public support, you kinda have to conform to that base, adding gradually-more complex ideas as people learn... Trans-boy/girl are less confusing to CIS people that don't fully understand the mental aspects than just saying transgender...
I for one prefer to just use "intersexed...".
