A trans fem person (born with male genitals) can in fact make a cis woman pregnant, tho some trans people may save some seamen, cause the quality may be degraded as the transition from cis man to women goes on.
I do believe that shemale is a slur, along with ladyboy, tranny and so on, in case you didn’t know :)
“Ladyboy” can be acceptable depending on context and locale.
A friend who works and lives in Thailand told us that ladyboy is a fairly common naming used there.
Seamen sail the seas. Semen is in ejaculate. It’s an important distinction.
Also, the semen is just a fluid that helps move the sperm around. The sperm is what makes you pregnant.
Actually I didn’t was just watching porn and it popped into my head.
This is a genuine question: I would never use the word shemale because it strikes me as a slur, but I would use the word ladyboy to specifically describe the gender-bending culture of Thai bar workers because some of them do not consider themselves trans, but pursue that path for the career and lifestyle options. Is it still a slur when referring to that phenomenon in Thai culture, or is there a better word to use?
If they openly support the use of the word, maybe while in said Thai bars, but not anywhere else. I’m personally curious if they don’t consider themselves “trans” or if it’s with the assumption that it means “transwomen.” There can also be from a vein of transmedicalism where they wouldn’t consider themselves “trans” because they aren’t fully transitioning into full biological expectations set by society.
If she’s pre-op and still has functional testicles then yes, she can get a woman pregnant. I think it might depend on if they’re on hormone replacement therapy but I’m nit sure.

The word is trans woman. What you’ve said is fairly derogatory.
In short, yes. Longer, there are some factors at play that can determine this. Some women taking estrogen lose some function in their penises and obviously women who’ve undergone vaginoplasty will face other challenges impregnating someone else.

I felt very weird seeing the word shemale in my feed. Not sure I enjoyed the feeling

It used to be a lot more common 10+ years ago. It’s strictly a kink thing, which is why it’s so gross when it’s applied to people just living their lives

Yah the question fits but the title should be edited.
