       Had a conversation the other day with someone about the ways to refer to those who have both male and female bodily traits.For critters that have a feminine body (as in breasts and vagina) and a penis, I know the term "hermaphrodite" is interpreted by some as a slur.For those with a masculine body but a vagina instead of a penis, cuntboy is a term some hate.So... what are better words for those? Are there any?

       And perhaps a follow up question: If someone does use the terms hermaphrodite or cuntboy when referring to themselves, as a good faith self-description of their body, how do y'all feel about that?I've used the word hermaphrodite to refer to Shira for ages, and still haven't found something that fits better.

       @KinkyKobolds I have never found a serviceable substitute for "hermaphrodite". Most of the suggestions I have been given are severely offensive for their own reasons. I have wound up in some very intense arguments over this, especially when the conflict reveals -- as it often does -- that I'm talking to someone who is ultimately either unable to conceive of, or offended by the idea of, either the existence of nonbinary gender identities or that there are multiple kinds of "nonbinary" that can be distinct and strong experiences.
