Apparently I'm transphobic.

Apparently I'm transphobic. I tried to commission an artist for an icon, and they refused to draw my character because they're a hermaphrodite. They said that my use of the term "Herm" found in the keywords of my submissions was a transphobic term. Herm is shortened for Hermaphrodite, which is an animal or person who possesses both fully functioning male and female reproductive organs. So, with that logic in mind, this artist refused to draw my character because of the way she, and more importantly what I choose to identify as. I feel like that's kind of transphobic in and of itself. They blocked me before I could reason with them, but I'm sure they weren't reasonable in the first place. Oh well. Not like there are thousands of other artists to commission out there.

I was in the middle of typing my response and they blocked me before I could post it, so I feel that they were not going to be reasoned with, and that I was wasting my time in trying to do so lol. It is what it is though!
At least they didn't take to much of your time away, still a disrespectful move to block you. But welp, it is what it is :/
