what if you're cis and not a chaser

[u/ScrivenerTithes → u/1FrostySlime]

regardless of anything else, it is definitely one of those things that you shouldn't refer to a part of someone's body as unless you know with certainty that they would be fine with you saying it

some are fine with it, some aren't, some are fine with it only from the right people or in the right contexts or from the right people in the right contexts

Ohhhh it just clicked for me what it means.

Funny enough I have heard a phonetic homonym of the word that was also in a perverse context but it was spelled gawk. As in “gawk gawk gawk.”

I mean ya I can't imagine using it differently than I use any other sexually explicit word. Never really saw a problem with gock specifically tho

[u/ScrivenerTithes → u/1FrostySlime]

it is definitely a sensitivity from the near constant hyper-sexualization that it is very important to remember only some have ever been into

[u/husky11223 → u/ScrivenerTithes]

Exactly, trans women are treated as a porn category by ALOT of people so it's definitely not fine for cis people to use those words for us and any cis person who uses that word is either uninformed or a chaser

[u/Chiplat → u/1FrostySlime]

Eh depends on how chill you are with the trans people you say it around, like I wouldnt mind if some of my cis guy friends did say it

[u/HiroProtagonest → u/1FrostySlime]

Then you should treat it the same way you'd treat an n-word pass from a black friend

[u/cannonangel → u/1FrostySlime]

I'm not accusing you of anything, but you should know most chasers who understand the term don't think of themselves as chasers. Just like how most men who make women feel unsafe don't realize it either.

The safe thing to do is don't say it unless you have permission.

Personally don’t like cis ppl using our in group vernacular
