#as that's signalling them out. Aka implying that implying that they're uniquely intersex. Aka using the term as a slur.

hey sorry if this is intruding but could y'all tag posts with hermaphrodite in it with 'tw h slur' or something. ik people are defending it as saying it's ok to use for non-humans but ask pretty much any intersex person and they will tell you that's not a valid excuse, there's more accurate language to use biologically.

After some discussion we, the mod team, will be tagging any post using the term as "cw h slur" from now on.

While the people in our confession have used it primarily as the biological term and do not mean it in an offensive way, we do understand that intersex people are uncomfortable with it being used and they have the right to filter the term. However we won't delete asks that use the term, as again, most askers don't seem to mean it offensively.

That being said we will also never post an ask with the term used in a way that is targeted at intersex people, as we believe such a term used against humans/individual rain world characters is a slur, and that is not up for debate.

Thank you for your feedback! - Mod Team P.S If anyone wants to share any biologically accurate/appropriate terms for people to use instead, that would be great!
