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.

Thank you for the ping. I was only partially familiar with the term so I didn't issue a ban on the original report. Now that I have educated myself on how that term is used and the objectification and sexualisation inherent in it, I've issued an instance ban.

You're welcome, I'm glad I could be of help.
