I can't speak for any trans person other than myself but I don't think there's anything wrong with KNOWINGLY playing with these various slurs as a way of humiliation or degradation and playing with social taboos. At the same time there is a problem in our society where most people's first exposure to transgender people is by watching porn that uses slurs to refer to us and treats us as sexual fetish objects. Even in regular TV shows or movies we are usually portrayed as the hooker or stripper, etc. A lot of (every?) other minority groups face similar struggles with how mainstream society views and treats them too, even if they aren't for the same exact reasons. Porn hypersexualizes black men and often portrays them as thugs for example. They don't literally have racial slurs in the titles, but it's not far from that in some cases.
I found a lot of feminization and "sissy" stuff super appealing when I was starting to finally express my true gender and start transitioning. I even wrote some sissy type teases where the domme refers to you as "boy" etc which doesn't correctly gender me if I was to do my own tease, but playing with gender stuff is still hot to me sometimes. There are also a lot of guys out there into sissy/feminization play who aren't actually trans so you'd be excluding them if you couldn't have stuff like that in a tease. Referring to a sissy as "boy" or "girl" is part of the sexual play sometimes. Universally referring to all transgender people as "shemales" which is considered a slur by most of the trans community isn't quite the same thing as using some taboo words for consensual sexual play.
I know a lot of other trans women because we form like Voltron and shit. Virtually none of them are okay with the words shemale or tranny. Meanwhile those are some of the most widely used words to describe transgender women in porn and a lot of people are literally unaware of how offensive it is. I don't think it has to be removed from teases or something. Just please ask yourselves why there is so much resistance to learning that these words are offensive to almost an entire community of people. If you do find out something is a slur against an entire community and keep using it all the time that makes it pretty clear you don't see truly see them as people. Just objects for you to get off on.

Re: Transphobic Slurs
Can we just let humiliations and insults be humiliations and insults and if we don't like something, we just don't continue reading/playing it?
Because if we start here, where do we stop? I was a little fat a few years ago, I don't want anyone to stop calling the reader a fatty or anything.

Re: Transphobic Slurs
As they say, offense is never given, only taken :)
As this forum has block feature just use it if you find someone's words not worth your attention and go on with your life, there are more useful things you can do, make yourself happier instead of being offended.

Re: Transphobic Slurs
With how fast language is evolving and words that were commonly used turn into slurs and what once were slurs turn into acceptable terms, we must think about the search feature. If I search for shemale because that was the common way to search for that type of content, does it redirects and search for trans? But what about traps? If I search for femboy, it will show results for sissy? And if the user is actively looking for trans teases that contain verbal humiliation, using the word shemale?
Can the site use a base tag (trans) but allows for secondary/erroneous terms to search and redirect to it, to avoid less than optimal results because someone searched suckubus instead of succubus, for example?
