How do you feel about the term "futa"? (lemm.ee)

Do you think it's purely hateful or do you think it has some merit in certain contexts?

Personally I think it is a transphobic and dehumanizing term that objectifies and sexualizes trans women based on our anatomy, that should never be used in any context, but I'd love to hear what other people think.

futa as in short for the Japanese term futanari?

Yes, that one.

Context: I had an interaction earlier on Egg_irl where someone asked if the "Futa girl" in my post could give them a hug.

It’s a HUGE red flag for someone to come into a trans focused community and start talking about “futa girls” when that wasn’t the topic. Definitely seems like the kind of language and mindset you get from porn consumption and not normal, non-sexualized interaction with trans people.

Wtf ? It feels like sexual harassment to me and I'm not even trans. I'm sorry for you
