The word futa or futanari is a term I unfortunately see used against trans women and actual intersex people. It is a term which originated in porn and anime to describe someone with both types of genitals, usually though it just refers to someone who looks feminine and has a penis. So it's no surprise it's very often used to describe non-op trans women primarily. Because it's often used in porn it carries strong connotations of sexualization and dehumanization, it reduces the person being called futa to an object of sexual desire and doesn't respect them as a person.

This term is extremely disrespectful and really has no place being used, especially in reference to trans women. Additionally because of its relation to porn people who use it will almost certainly be seen as chasers.

As someone who's studied japanese myself. Please stop romantizising japanese. It's not some sort of fantasy place unconnected to the rest of the world.

You know it's used for porn there too right?

This is the reason weeb is a slur too 😮‍💨

Shit I didn't know weeb is a slur I just referred to myself as one since I only know anything about Japan from a little bit of Manga and was trying to use it to say I'm not an expert. I'm so sorry I used an offensive term.
