In a very polite way, even, that some of the slurs I have gotten used to hearing and using, even as an intersex person myself, are in fact slurs, and are actually pretty gross to use, especially around the trans community.

So in an actual genuine effort to break from this bad habit I seem to have picked up, I intend to stop using and stop allowing use of such slurs that label people by their genitalia. I don't know when I fell into the habit, but I do know why, and I honestly want to break from it. As I mentioned to the person who helped me realize this, it doesn't help the community at all for any one of us within it to be encouraging and spreading these slurs and making them seem acceptable.

I formally apologize to those I have inadvertently offended by using such terms, and you can expect to see changes in my tagging system as I go back through my files and find each and every little gross slur I have ended up throwing in here or there and remove them, in exchange for appropriate tagging.

I'm a guy with no penis. And you know what? Gender wise, all anyone needs to know is I am a guy, cuz I am. So I will tag things with the same manner in mind. To hell with what may or may not be here or there. I will tag based on gender, not physical sexual traits, because it is a beyond archaic system sorting and categorizing people based on genitalia, and I don't want to be promoting this practice..
