The term "shemale"

[omni]

I understand this is generally a very offensive term for MTFs and that it is a term used mostly by the porn industry. I also know some girls who like it and don't have any problem with it all.

So I wanted to what hear from the MTF TGs on how you felt about it. If it isn't offensive to you please elaborate on why.

Me personally, I don't mind being called a shemale that's just me despite what others might think or say, I don't class myself as a female or male, I classify myself as a shemale, it fits me

Shemale is easy to understand, what the hell is MTF?
TG is Transgender.

Shemale is an easy term to use for those that might not be into more "sophisticated" terms. It is not degrading to me unless the person using it means to be degrading. Then it wouldn't matter how they expressed it; they would be about two seconds away from being kicked right in the fucking balls !
( I've been known to be a little outspoken and sometimes less than gentle and nice.)
