AH. OKAY. THIS STRIP. 

The last time GWS had a trans slur in it (and yes, it is! It's a slur), I did a big long write-up explaining WHY it sucks to use terms like this. 

A lot of people told me that the explanation helped them understand better (thank you for telling me!), so I'm going to paste it again here. I promise it's a relatively fun read, despite the weight of the topic!

I'm always torn about keeping things like this in the original strips. (Trans friends, there's one more slur coming [<-- if you're reading this in 2024, this is the one I was talking about] but I can't remember how far away it is; I'm sorry in advance, and I'm sorry if this one felt like a slap to the face. Please don't read past this paragraph if you'd rather avoid the sting of some more slurs.) I've kept these strips unaltered because a lot of people still don't know why they should avoid using this term, and some of them don't even understand why I'm bringing this up, and I'd rather bring attention to it if it'll help a few more people not use the word IRL.

If you're one of those people who doesn't get why this is offensive (I didn't get it back then, either!), here's a Wikipedia synopsis for ya:

Terms like "she-male," "tranny," and "chicks with dicks" are categories on porn sites, not respectful labels for your average trans lady. Do not call trans women by any of those. They're meant to boil a human being down to their sexual organs, which is rude.

Like, let's say your sister is pregnant. Let's say she's got a husband and they conceived the old-fashioned way. We all know what happened here: his dick filled her vagina with sperm. Probably multiple times.

Regardless, I'm not going to address your sister as Ms. Cumslut, or The Creampie Queen, or Cum-Hungry Whore. I'm just going to call her your sister, because even if I know that her babymaker was filled with cum before it was filled with baby, I don't need to make everyone think about her genitals. I can just treat her like your sister.

"Creampie" and "cumslut" and "cum-hungry whore" are terms that are only appropriate in the privacy of your own porn search/sex life. Same with the trans-targeted terms above. 

Here's the old strip, and here's the chaser! <--under which there's a lengthy discussion about this topic* in the comments section if you'd like to read more, keeping in mind that that discussion happened in 2015.

*trans-related slurs, not your sister's load-bearing pussy

I hope that answers some of your questions! And here's the original strip for today's, WAY before anyone explained this stuff to me. (Thank you to everyone who helped explain it to me!) And here's its chaser!
