>>6956696shemale is also not a term that trans girls like to be called, typically. It's a slur, and super fucked up, because exactly as you said, it's referring to the girl as a male, and that's not only incorrect, but also incredibly fucked up and rude. That said, I'm sure there's plenty of trans girls out there who fucking own it. (the word. as well as "tranny")
