Shemale Pornstar Wants You To Stop Using The Word Shemale

Quote:

I am entirely for people of an oppressed community to re-claim words but in the case of the term ?Shemale? it has nothing to do with trans women reclaiming it but largely cis men running these sites with little regard for how trans communities view it. The biggest user of the term is on the site Shemaleyum.com (Grooby Productions) where you see the term used 17 times alone on the main page.
Seventeen times, guys. Seventeen.

Oh damn I guess I have to start using that word so I can stop.

Here we go... shemale, shemale, shemale.

Ok I stopped now. That was fun. I am so tolerant its disgusting sometimes...

Angelo22 12-10-2014 10:17 PM

So what's his/her preferred term?

InfoGuy 12-10-2014 10:49 PM

This is the first I've heard of shemale being a slur. What do you think nikki99?

As long as consumers continue searching for the term, producers & marketers will continue using it.

Trans woman.

thecatwrites 12-11-2014 04:53 AM

there's also confusion between transsexual and transgender

seeandsee 12-11-2014 04:54 AM

ban all words, let use stones

Something is wrong with Chelsea...i suspect she was rejected by grooby. :2 cents:

I do not believe she is a pornstar. Just a disgruntled twink.

PR_Glen 12-11-2014 07:25 AM

can changes like that even be made? In porn gay ALWAYS means 2 guys, interracial is ALWAYS a black man with a white woman, lesbian is usually deemed straight content, threesomes are always 2 girls and 1 guy where tag team is always 2 guys on one girl and everyone knows what midget porn is but most would be too freaked out to click on something labelled littleperson porn--for good reason.

traditionally marketing isn't supposed to be offensive and as politically correct as possible, but with porn I think being at least partially offensive is part of what makes it sell wouldn't you say?

iSpyCams 12-11-2014 07:30 AM

I don't think you are going to ever find a great deal of sensitivity in adult marketing, offense is part of the package. Besides as far as I know most sites are built around what users are searching for, not what progressives would like them to say. I doubt most of the people who google "shemale" use that term in conversation. I don't use it but I don't google it either, just not my thing.

She needs to reconsider the use of the word PornStar with her own name.

aka123 12-11-2014 07:43 AM

I have few good alternatives: "female with penis" or "fempenis", or "castrated male" or "castramale".

Horatio Caine 12-11-2014 08:06 AM

God damn. Every fucking "minority" group has something to bitch about - redskins, queer, black friday, shemale ... You name it.
Is there anything else left for straight white guy to bitch about?

Of course there is; you are doing it right now. :)

CDSmith 12-11-2014 11:40 AM

Tranny it is then.

Anyone removing shemale from their keywords does so at their own google peril though.

"Shim" works well too.

ha... interesting theory. :1orglaugh

nikki99 12-11-2014 11:47 AM

I like the word she-male

Paz 12-11-2014 11:48 AM

Ladyboy's still OK though? :)

AaronM 12-11-2014 11:51 AM

To be honest, you lost me at "Shemale Pornstar Wants..."

If you want to be normal and fit in then perhaps you should start with...BEING NORMAL. :2 cents:

CPA-Rush 12-11-2014 11:53 AM

as u get more classy/privileged ... sure the word will be come little disrespectful

maybe next US president is transgender :)

CDSmith 12-11-2014 11:56 AM

The term shemale is so entrenched now on the internet that the complaints from a few disgruntled 'trans-women' is not going to change it.

I predict they're just going to have to suck it up and live with it.

Many didn't want to live with it so they cut it off.

I think that the word Tranny is considered offensive too.

Tgirl or TS are more acceptable.

The words shemale, tranny and trap were banned 3 years ago in reddits largest shemale porn related subreddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/Tgirls/comments/n0e1a/note_about_new_guidelines_for_rtgirls_please_read/

Although the second largest (http://reddit.com/r/shemales) has not banned those words.

Within the porn industry, nothing should be offensive. Either be involved and deal with whatever names are created for the niche, or get out of it.

Being transgender is a normal.. anomaly :)

Tgirl is political correct I think.
