Yup, it should. But I think people being all up in arms is a bit of an overkill when you see comments about a woman gaining a dick and losing her vagina, they say its not a futa. Well what is she? She wasnt born with a penis so she is not a man with boobs, but for some reason, people get pissed that we call her futa.
Then we have others that think futa refers to trans because the tags futa/trans are unified.
They really just need to make a dickgirl tag for all women with a penis (regandless of the fact they may not have a vagina) and a trans tag for all mtf games.
To the best of my knowledge, there are two views on this issue. The first goes like this:
Hermaphrodite: a living thing that is naturally either dual-gendered or gender neutral
Trans: a real person whose internal psychological gender identity does not match their physical body (by birth)
Dickgirl: a fictional concept of a woman who by nature has a penis instead of a vagina
Futa: a fictional concept that is fully female but also has a penis in addition to a vagina, generally with exaggerated boobs/dick
NOTES: hermaphrodite was also once used for specific human medical cases that now fall under intersex,
trans people generally consider
ANY of the other terms being applied to them as deeply offensive
The other view on the topic is this:
Hermaphrodite: a living thing that is naturally either dual-gendered or gender neutral
Trans/Dickgirl/Futa: any partly femalish person with a penis, or a penis and a vagina, or just a REALLY BIG clitoris, whatevs
? ? ? ?: a real person whose internal psychological gender identity does not match their physical body (by birth)
? ? ? ?: a fictional concept of a woman who (by natural birth, magic, mad-science, etc.) has a penis instead of a vagina
? ? ? ?: a fictional concept that is fully female but also has a penis in addition to a vagina, generally with exaggeratedboobs/dick
NOTE: there are no words that specifically refer to the last three items, because stubborn people refuse to allow that to happen,
trans people generally consider
ANY of the other terms being applied to them as deeply offensive (but who cares, right? LOL!)
And
THAT is why I side with the first group. Technically, " a man trapped in a woman's body" would by definition be a trans-male character, and you can bet you last buck that actual trans-men have probably been through a lot of the same fear and confusion as a lot of the gender-bender male-to-female characters (except for the part where they eventually get used to it).
EDIT: I know that not everyone is in that second group because they don't care. Obviously, some people are just not familiar enough with the broader concepts to have picked up on the somewhat inconsistently used terms, and may be unaware that futa offends trans people as much as it does.
Also, the issue of the tags being together on this site is a very VERY
VERY old one that predates my time here, and it is not at all likely to change. I've never even been able to get the full story, but it sounds like there was some big war about it, and now it's a dark family secret that no one ever wants to re-open.
