whereas just noting it as a self-descriptor by those the scientist is studying would seem acceptable similar to having a list of different labels or even a blank where someone would self-identify. Blanchard's bit, IMHO, should include that his work is maligned for such usage. Meanwhile, erotic and sex industries capitalize on the use and transwomen do identify as shemale as needed to earn money, they would also just as easily identify as almost anything else conceivable and believable to appease a customer's preference. So I think it's a little disingenuous to assert the point with more emphasis than that. IMHO, it's a temporary label - even when used as a self-descriptor - not conforming to one's self-identity as much as reclaiming a word like "freak" "nigger" and "faggot" to take the sting out and dis-empower ones degraders. Usage within one's circle can be seen from a sociological view but I'm quite suspicious of adopting it well beyond that or that the number of people doing so is significant.

says absolutely nothing about the shemales who do prefer the use of the term so as to distinguish themselves from those who've had gender reassignment surgery. Finally, the reason many shemales appear not to have developed masculine traits is simply because they're from more progressive countries who don't have any qualms about prescribing testosterone-suppressing medication before they reach puberty. Medical conditions which cause adrogen insensitivity are exceedingly rare, and could not possibly be the cause for more than a very tiny fraction of boys who do not develop as males at puberty. Furthermore, failure to develop masculine traits at puberty does not result in the development of feminine traits, as the article currently suggests. All in all, this is a very poorly written article and should be completely rewritten from an objective perspective so as to remove the strong anti-shemale and anti-porn NPOV with which it is currently dripping. 20:40, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
274:, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with" (emphasis mine). I assume you knew this and that's why you pointed out the notice board rather than the policy page. Any one even remotely familiar with trans issues or the Bailey/Blanchard/Lawrence controversy should be able to see that since the majority of published academic sources are on one side of the controversy while non-academic sources are on the other side, it is wholly outside the spirit, if not the actual wording, of WP policies for anyone from Clark, yourself, or anyone involved with Conway/James side, User:Jokestress, to edit trans-related articles on WP. And yet, you both seem to continue to do so. And the fact that you and Jokestress are both involved in the ongoing RS debate, despite the obvious COI and POV, is, to me at least, both surprising and wrong. 294:
argument has been handled by those at Clark and their internet detractors and the media coverage of it has been an embarrassment to all trans people and the professionals working with them, continuing to edit in this manner is simply doing damage to your own reputation and the field and trans community as a whole. I'm trying desperately to avoid my comments coming across as personal attacks of the editors I've mentioned, but I will admit that my above response from this morning was written as one who was frankly appalled that this situation was going on. To see Andrea James's and your involvement, and both of you defend your ongoing involvement, was like seeing some one from the Discovery Institute editing articles on intelligent design. It's inappropriate and I would urge those editors to allow their continued work

claim that "shemale" is a pejorative, it is sourced with websites where the material is created by a single author, usually a transwoman, who feels the same way. Not only does this not reflect what the word "shemale" means to most non-transgender people, it sends the impression that nearly all transgender people consider the term to be a slur. There are a number of transgender communities (such as various online communities with personal avatars, furry fandom both online and in real life, even entire countries like Thailand) where the term "shemale" is not generally considered offensive, even among transgender women.
288:("allow communal ownership to supersede personal emotional involvement"). As a NY Times article on Bailey stated, the battle is being actively fought on WP by the involved parties, which I can only assume is why both you and Jokestress are here spending time on this at all. That is entirely against the spirit and the best interest of WP as a project. Ms. James and yourself, as well as both of your respective friends and colleagues, should step away from editing articles on trans issues, because you are all too close to the very contentious disputes being covered in these articles. 214:
you to cite you coworker, Blanchard, is a clear conflict of interest. And since the other statements, as I pointed our above are unsourced, and I can see from your current arguments about WP:RS, you believe unsourced material can be deleted, I'm going to revert your edit to the lead paragraph. Frankly, Mr. Cantor, the nature of the controversy surrounding trans topics and your workplace presents an obvious conflict of interest for you editing any trans-related article. It's
1269:"In many instances intersex persons born with ambiguous genitalia have, at the request of their parents, or on the advice of surgeons, been surgically altered to appear more male before puberty (which may be the reason that many shemales appear to have female skeletal structure and fat distribution, feminine body hair patterns, and/or small genitals resembling those of a prepubescent boy); this often occurs in children with Reifenstein syndrome, a form of PAIS." 31: 503:
usages so we can't say that everyone who uses it means the same thing. For our reader's benefit it's helpful to explain who it generally refers to and why the term is generally pejorative. Having witnessed transwomen apply the term to themselves I think it's also important that we aim for NPOV. It's not a derogatory term in all cases and it still means different things to different people. This is common in articles about slang terms.
197:. However, this is itself a fiercely debated topic. The existence of "non-op" women who do not wish to ever have genital surgery means that the intended goal or finish point of transition is not universal. As you can see from the older talk sections above, these points have been argued about before. It seems obvious that the rewrite will need to involve some decisions on these very types of controversial statements. 2067:
such thing, however. In fact, the only comment that Herbst makes regarding the connotation of the term is "The term may also refer positively to androgyny." The second source given on the main page is an online dictionary, which has questionable status as an RS, and which says, in parentheses, "sometimes offensive," which I agree with, but which is not very neutrally conveyed by 'often a term of abuse.'
2290:
science/medical section is. The unnecessary quotes, descriptors of authors, and whole titles of books merely target readers to convince them of the statements rather than merely to describe the statements to them. The science/medical section is the superior format, despite that the authors, statements, and sources used there dwarf the reliability of those given the immodest connotations section.
1795:) is a slang term for person with female breasts but male genitalia. In zoology, the term refers to non-human animals that display other combinations of male and female anatomy. The technical term is gynandromorph, which is used mostly in scientific contexts. Shemale is sometimes considered derogatory when applied to male-to-female transsexuals (transwomen). 1209:
only says (sometimes offensive), and is a highly questionable resource presumably written by a single anonymous author. An acceptable source for this would be a large national or international organization of transgender people which states in some official capacity that "the transgender community at large finds this offensive", not one person's opinion.

the emergence of shemale and, later, online pornography thus spreading the word everywhere.

I can suggest only that one look up the references given in the article, which do not say what the main page says they say. For example, the main page says that the term shemale "is often seen by transsexual people as a term of abuse" citing as a source Herbst (2001). Herbst (2001) does not say any

The main issue, in my opinion, is the use of WP by some trans activists to encourage the use of the terms they themselves prefer over the terms used by other members of the trans communities or by medical/scientific experts. There are activists who prefer terms that indicate their womanhood (such as

I've re-added the butterfly image as I think it's quite illustrative and has no BLP issues to it. The Blanchard stuff is a bit tricky but fits nicely into that section.

To embark on how best to improve this article, I suggest you propose what text you would prefer over what I added. You may think of Blanchard and Money however you like (of course), but the existance of the formal terms (and RS's) they used to describe "she-males" is about as relevant as a fact can

I do not think this below listed section of text is relevant as it is more related to articles describing medical conditions. This part is also rather insensitive to sufferers of the condition in many ways or at least those who do not identify with genetic males that have augmented female breasts.

I agree with 75.180.20.49, and note that more than two-thirds of this "article" is little more than a rant against the use of the term. The ones who do NOT find the term offensive are true shemales, who are simply MTF transgendered people who have chosen to keep their male genetalia. The article

I know bringing this up will inflame passions. I don't want to create controversy. But this article has a historical tendency to be overrun by transwomen's POV that "shemale is pejorative" because most transwomen don't want to be called anything other than "woman". When people try to source the

There are also tons of reliable sources from those weighing in about the term's use in the sex industry, and the pejorative connotations of the term. I am not aware of many people besides Janice Raymond, Ray Blanchard, and J. Michael Bailey who use the term uncritically. I propose we split it into

Ah, I should have read the User:James Cantor page before asking all of those questions. I didn't realize you were THAT James Cantor. The clumsy edits and lack of wiki links made me think the edit was by some one well-meaning, but perhaps not-so-well-informed or perhaps new to WP. Obviously, for

Statements like "I can provide plenty of other sources..." are similarly unconvincing when unaccompanied by any actual RS's. I would indeed encourage you, or anyone, to locate such RS's. For what it is worth, the discussion at RS/N suggests that such RS's should be from more established sources
2092:
To repeat my earlier comment, I agree entirely with the page reflecting the mixed status of the term, but not with using the article space to actively promote the idea that the term is or is not offensive. As a tangent, I am not actually the person who added the POV-tag to the page. Whether the

1216:
In any case, the primary use of shemale is a description of a certain kind of gender/sex combination that many men are sexually and interpersonally attracted to. Yes, most transwomen find the term offensive, and that bears mention here. But most transwomen find being called "man" offensive, and

I moved your revision to my comment to its own section. Please do not make changes to other editors' comments. As far as "shemale" only being a slur for women who are "fully transitioned," we need a source for that. According to the source in the article, it is a dehumanizing slur for all trans
