Something I’ve been thinking a lot about lately: I need a gender-neutral word for “dickgirl” for myself.

There are certain circumstances where one wants to specify bodily config as opposed to just gender, and we have a lot of words like “dickgirl” and others, but even if you want to “reclaim” those words to some extent, they’re still gendered, which means I don’t feel particularly comfortable using them for myself.

@Motodrachen yah, my philosophy is that if you’re intersex, you’re allowed to use that word.

@lacuna Well if I'm Not intersex, then mother nature seriously fucked up in some other meaningful way because I've seen folks get male puberty from a Can that beat out what I got.

Oh and there's the whole plural angle. Seriously, Herm is the only thing we could really agree on as a compromise we were all happy with.
