    It'd be cool if "shemale" was changed to "trans"

          After a long period where members noted that "Shemale" was an outdated term, the site responded recently by creating a "Trans" category, a certain improvement.

          Because of programming issues with old vs. new uploads, you may see the "She" now and then, but Trans is being used moving forward.  Most members were pleased to see a more appropriate description.  Enjoy your time here!

            Flozen said most of what I was going to say while I was writing it but I'll post anyway:

            This issue has been discussed in depth previously and it is being changed over to "trans" as a more appropriate term as the site is updated so you see both terms right now.  The icons haven't been updated yet.

            Essentially all transgender porn models used to be male-to-female and the common terminology was "she-male".  Porn shops had display shelves labelled "She-Male" and the covers of the magazines and videotapes used that term, too.  Most she-male porn was marketed to "straight" men.

            See how popular the term was?  Volume 26!

              Flozen answered it but I'll add a bit more detail.

              After we made the switch from she-male to trans, we had a choice.  We either totally kill off she-male and that would mean deleting all the torrents under that category or we delete the category but leave the torrents to die a natural death.  We decided to let them die a natural death.

              Because we have members (thanks guys and gals) who keep sharing old stuff, she-male will take a while to fully die.

                  Yeah, once I saw it was different in other places I figured it was something in middle being sorted. I made peace with the fact that I'm gonna see that shit a long time ago anyway, it was just surprising to see it tagged as such here lol.
