can u educate ur bf on the slur for transfeminine or something it's really weird to ignore actual transfems telling him it's a derogatory term & "rosboy" can just be used as a good alternative to it so i don't know why herb's being so stuck up ??

From what I'm seeing, there's a lot more transfems agreeing with him saying it's not a slur then there are disagreeing,,, and I agree with him too,,, It can be used to insult transfems yes, but the word itself is not inherently bad, it just means feminine male identified male. I understand if some people don't like the term because of the fact it can be used as an insult, and may not want to hear it, but claiming other people to be transphobic for using it in a way that isn't derogatory towards anyone is a bit of a stretch.. also rosboy is a synonym to it, so could that not technically equally be used as an insult in certain context.. ?
