A quick note on terminology

[* Weazezslave *]

Thanks for educating us. I do like that FF is a comfortable place and hopes it will be for everyone.

We accept all good people here regardless of race, gender or sexual preference. Maybe the world would be a better place if it followed those guidelines.

Oh, it totally would be!

Very informative what nand wrote.

I use the same terms, though in NO mood to disgrace anyone !
I thought "shemale" was like, u know, OK ... but I think I must train my brain to change and be more careful when I write !

A pretty difficult issue for me. Being Spanish and not a high-lever English writer/reader, I have always though "shemale" was an OK term.

Here in Spain we have tha same problem, too: it's usual talking about transgender people referring to his/her born gender, not the one chosen by them.

And in capitols. ie: Whore/Slut

Is this the proper, official way to erotically but respectfully use the term? Similar to Dom (I) / sub (i) in the BDSM community?

Definitely not in here, the staff frown upon the use of insulting terminology like this, so threads or remarks of this ilk will not stay in here for long!!

Members must bear in mind that, (thankfully ), this is not exclusively a male forum, so we would not wish to insult or anger any of our female members by having them put up with degrading names of this sort...

...However, certain of our lady members, like Piper, enjoy these taglines so they may be cool with referring to themselves this way.

In short it is acceptable for the lady members to describe themselves like this but not for you guys to use these terms in such a general haphazard fashion.
