Last night I ran into yet another bad term used on the net for when someone’s body is not in line with societal norms. I can’t utter it directly, but I can say it censored. Also, apparently Tumblr hasn’t said anything about it.

CW: bad term (censored with symbols):

The body type this refers to is closest to a trans woman who has done HRT but not bottom surgery. Where things get even more bad is that some of the relevant works get tagged with the “intersex” tag for all the wrong reasons. Sure, there are some rarer instances of such art in which the character IS an intersex trans woman canonically, if the character is fem, or there are like, even rarer artworks where someone draws an effeminate person who has an intersex condition like Kleinfelter’s, which can cause breast growth. Unfortunately, many artists on the Internet’s less-than-professional spaces tend to use the tag “intersex” wrong, and badly so, sometimes even mixing it with slurs in the work tags. I swear, so many artists don’t know how intersex works, and many don’t get non-cis people right either. It’s a harsh world in the art sector.
