I'm Niko, the awesome red panda/rabbit hybrid. I'm engaged to a tiger, I want to go to college for illustration, and I think pizza is pretty awesome. I'm a FTM, so male pronouns only, if you'd please. My fursona is biologically male. I like drawing and my goal is to improve as an artist and to meet other people - which is why I joined FA - because I'm terribly shy and lazy. I don't roleplay or yiff nor do I want art of your character and I yiffing (or your character and my fiance...) - sorry!



Status:

Commissions: Still closed, but will be open soon.

Requests: Slightly open - I can do quick doodles.

Art Trades: Slightly open... but I don't think my art is good enough to be used in a trade.



All art that I post is © me, unless stated otherwise. :B Thank you~

"Cunt" Boys - The Problem

13 years ago

I've got a problem with the term "cuntboy". I'm really interested in the justification of other people using it, because I, at the moment, don't see any benefit nor difference between calling someone a "cuntboy" and "FTM" (assuming said individual identifies as a trans* person, because you can have female genitalia, a male gender, and NOT be FTM).

"Cuntboy" seems to have started off as some type of odd, derogatory lingo in the furry community, back when the light on trans* folk wasn't really shining too bright - AKA no one knew that people out there truly existed. By calling someone a "cuntboy", you're basically saying "you're a boy with a vagina". And while for some people, this is just a fact, for other people it's down right degrading.

We first have to analyze how derogatory the word cunt is and there are a lot of feminist arguments against it. It's a slang word to refer to a vagina, but it's also what a lot of people have used to call people they think are general jerks AKA the same meaning as the word "dick".

My point is that it's flat out wrong to generalize and refer to someone by their genitals. By calling someone a "cuntboy", you are essentially saying;

Your genitalia is more important than your gender identity so I will refer to you that + your gender identity tagged on at the end.

And that's a problem.
Because in case you haven't noticed, people are more than their genitals. There are so many more appropriate words to describe a guy with female genitalia, such as -

1) A guy.
2) Trans* guy / FTM (or however they identify)
3) FAAB (Female Assigned at Birth) - used between doctors when describing patients with female genitals and sex, but do not identify with their sex.
4) CAFAB (Coercively Assigned Female At Birth) - More popular with intersex folk, nearly synonymous with FAAB.
5) A GUY.

Come on, furry community. Someone really needs to spread that the word cunt boy is both foul and degrading. Being a FTM myself, I really am not fond of the word and what I don't want to happen is for people to think "cuntboy" is a clever nickname for fellow FTMs, or even worse, they think that it's actually a synonym for FTM.

I have the same problem with the terms "dickgirl" and "shemale", but that's another argument and I encourage MTFs and anyone else to stop people form using that term too.
