i’m doing this regardless of what the artists labeled them as. f*ta is a slur, d*ckgirl is a slur, tr*p is a slur, she*male is a slur, tr*nny is a slur. normalize viewing trans women as attractive and calling them trans women, especially if you’re the kind of person who jerks it to pictures of girls with dicks.

“this is a different context. we’re not talking about trans women.” - the two contexts are inseparable. if you normalize the idea that a female character with a dick is “f*ta”, you erase trans women and their oppression. furry artists don’t get to label the bodies of women with penises with these slurs so that they can clear their conscious about jerking it to trans women. any term applied to fictional female characters with penises will carry its implications on to real world women with penises. labeling the bodies of trans women as something other than trans is erasure and impacts real world trans women.

“this character isn’t trans tho, she just has a penis” - “f*ta” is a fantasy identity. trans women are a real thing. think long and hard about why you choose to label your characters using a made up fantasy identity rather than an equivalent real world identity. what you’re saying is: “d*ckgirls are sexy, but trans women are disgusting”. stop alienating trans women from their own portrayal in porn.

“f*ta is actually the term for it” - who decided that was “the term”? it wasn’t trans women, it was transphobes. pretending like any term (even if it’s a common term for something) is incapable of coming from a history of oppression is naive.

“this is porn, porn shouldn’t be made political” - why is porn immune to criticism? these artists have ignored outcry from trans women for years. porn is still culture, and that culture still has an impact on the minds of its consumers. stop placing a higher value on jerking it to women with penises than the lives of trans women.

“actually, ____ isn’t a slur, i know better than trans people” - these terms were created/popularized by the porn industry (which is notoriously terrible for trans women) and by transphobes. they’re violent terms that are used with the intentions of harming trans women. trans women have never as a collective identified with these terms; they have only ever had those terms imposed on them by hateful or exploitative groups.

“quit being so sensitive and getting offended” - it’s not a matter of offending sensitive people and never has been. it’s a matter of the concrete and provable impact some words have. they comfort the people who perpetuate violence against minorities and discomfort the victims of it. it’s not a matter of limiting what people are allowed to say but a matter of helping them understand that some words have a very serious, real, and direct impact due to the weight they carry, and convincing them  that if their is an ounce of empathy in their body then they shouldn’t want to use those words. these words all have histories of violence behind them, and that means they carry weight. they’re much more than a definition, they’re a reminder of a long standing tradition of murdering trans women for being disgusting and unattractive, and their use inherently takes a stance on that tradition.
