Question for the cis girls (as a trans girl): what are some thing that you ladies do not like to be called?

Anonymous 8w

Don’t be afraid to share, please let me know how I can be more respectful:)

Fish. It just feels very misogynistic and I feel self conscious of my vagina’s smell. I know the term has ballroom roots and I think the roots are misogynistic since it was basically saying you pass so well I can smell your vagina (I know fish is usually used for trans women but the times it has been used for me have made me deeply uncomfortable)

I completely agree… and I think that term is incredibly disrespectful to cis women and people with vaginas. If I expect cis women to not shame/fetishize my genitals, then I should absolutely not do the same to them. While on the topic, I strongly dislike the term “platinum gay”- because it’s disrespecting the person and the organ that gave you life, and literally birthed you. That’s incredibly misogynistic.
