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.

I really don’t like it. That’s a term that I’ve only ever seen associated with porn and sexualization, and I’d prefer not to be sexualized or objectified. I agree with you that I find it dehumanizing, and I really don’t like being fetishized. I feel like anyone that would use that term for me is either a chaser or a transphobe, and I don’t want to interact with either. And that’s without getting into the whole Japanese culture talk, which revolves around traditionalism, heteronormalcy, and misogyny that makes it extra uncomfortable.
A disgusting dehumanizing term that views human beings as objects of sexual desire. I know the situation you’re describing. I really hope @ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone deals with that person, as they do not belong on a queer friendly instance like this one.
Make no mistake, coming into a trans community asking for “Futa girls” labels you as a highly suspected chaser. It will not lead to anything good. I have banned that shithead from !egg_irl@lemmy.blahaj.zone permanently for it.
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.
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.
