 Cited. Also, WT:DEROGATORY does not apply in this case @Surjection. Ioaxxere (talk) 18:21, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

I didn't add the derogatory label, Sgconlaw did. — SURJECTION ^{/ T / C / L /} 18:59, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

Passed: yes, I added the tag because the entry was marked “offensive” at the time I looked at it. I see the label has now been removed. — Sgconlaw (talk) 19:12, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

Unsure why it was removed, the term is explicitly transphobic. AG202 (talk) 16:05, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

Is it the term that is offensive, or the practice to which it refers? There is a difference. Blackface, apartheid, and racial profiling are offensive, but the terms blackface, apartheid, and racial profiling are not. Accordingly, those entries are in Category:en:Racism, but not in Category:English offensive terms. The quotations from Vice and the Daily Dot (2018) seem unlikely to cause offense; in fact, both are using the term to criticize or mock the practice. Maybe we need Category:en:Transphobia. 70.172.194.25 03:19, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
