About Cboy/Futa/Dgirl etc
8 years ago
Ive gotten quite a few questions on my TOS, specifically the "Do not use fetishizing terms such as Cboy/Fute/Dgirl when commenting on my work/commissioning me etc"
What I do mean is, not to use them without PERMISSION. While there are some trans people who are completely OK with these terms when used to describe their characters, realize that they are fetishizing terms, do not use those words to describe characters unless you know the owner is OK with it, and do not use these words when commenting on my art unless you know the owner of the character is OK with it.
I know you probably don't have bad intentions saying these when commenting on my art, but I dont want comments among the line of "MMM Cboys are so sexy!" and for the owner of the character to see it and feel uncomfortable/attacked, as for some people these words are slurs/insults.
Just be respectful, thats all. (Thumbs up emoji)

Just be respectful, peeps!
If I'm not sure what to say, I just comment on how the piece looks overall and hope it's enough.
In "that same vein" -- people would stop raping other people if they didn't wear provocative clothing. It's no less an offense.
while being transgender is just a term used to describe people who were assigned gender at birth and found out that that gender doesn't really fit with them correctly. Trans people CAN be intersex as well but are not always. On the flip side, intersex people can be cis. Hope this helps a bit!
