What about the word `` shemale `` ? Can anyone help ?
Hello Hunangels people !
What about the word `` shemale `` ? Can anyone help ?
Explaining : we ( me and my boyfriend, who help in filming, editing, creating the plots of scenes, etc ... ) want to do a scene where my friend, a tgirl too, says something in the beginning of the scene in english.
As I am not american and I do not know what all words and expressions mean, I ask for your help .
Is it too offensive ?
My boyfriend said that one person said to him that it is too offensive but he said that, at the same time, he saw this word in many places, like in film series ( for example Shemale Road Trip from Joey Silvera ) and even many websites have this word in their names / titles .
He said that he prefer a lot to use the word Tgirl, but we would like to know if `` shemale `` is too offensive.
THX A LOT !

It’s fine by me but the Language Nazis have deemed it officially offensive and not to be uttered or written. To do so would certainly be a Thoughtcrime. So to avoid criticism don’t use it. But if you really like the word and have a set of balls (figuratively) use it.

The wikipedia page actually does a good job at defining it

In the west, yes. "Shemale/tranny/ladyboy" are generally offensive even if some still refer to themselves as that.

We all know words that were OK to use a few years ago but have come to be derogatory and disrespectful. This would be one of them.

branding, at the time, called for "shemale" in a site title however as times are a changin', it is not fashionable to use it anymore. it is so commonplace though that it is a hard habit for the unindoctrinated to break.
i mean, we do have things like this still that got a raucous laugh from the theater i saw it in

Re: What about the word `` shemale `` ? Can anyone help ?
Personally, I hate it. Never subscribed to it, though it was plastered on all the videos I watched.
It originated in the 1940's, as a description of a strong woman, a woman who took no shit, from no one.
But it gradually took on the meaning of a 'chick with a dick' and stuck in the underground nomenclature.
I've never used it, outside of a film/video title reference, and I understand how saying it in the presence of any of the gurls (My spelling) I know would be hurtful. So, I don't.
Same as I wouldn't say the word 'nigger' in the presence of one of my dearest friends and lovers (You know who you are).
