Attempting to remove every use of the word "cuntboy" in our gallery
Been seeing a lot of tweets lately about the use of the term cuntboy as being harmful to the trans community. I like the term but I also understand that it is very much a curse word for those that are already struggling with a lot. I (Drox) am not sure of what word to use in its place but I hope to no longer use a term with such negative and harmful connotations. I express myself through a male fursona with a vagina and that is not going to change, that is the body I want IRL and Drox is an extension of myself. I wont label myself with any term for the time being, I am just me! ^.=.^
I am fine with others using the term cuntboy in comments because I have no control over the choice of words that others use. I just wish to improve myself and hopefully be an example!

I personally don't know what people have been saying about the term, but to me, so long as it's not being said in a harmful, in insulting way, I'm fine with using it. I won't be intentionally bothering people by using that word, but I also don't want to be living my entire life walking on eggshells, having to worry about every single thing I can ever do/say. I do that enough already, without adding even more words onto the 'don't say' pile. (And that pile is pretty large for me already.)
If you might be able to help teach me what's so bad/derogatory about the term, or show me the peoples who are talking about it, I would appreciate more clarity on it. Still, hope those two suggestions might help, and hope you're doing well.
(I ramble a lot and just type out stuff as I think it, so if none of that made sense, that's why.)
Idk that is just the sum-up of what I have of the topic, although I agree with the statement.
