It really isn’t, it’s the scientific term for a feature in a whole bunch of animals…
Like holy shit context matters, and I don’t mean that in a “it’s fine if it’s not meant as an insult” way, because people have a right to ask to not be referred to a certain way regardless of intent.
But also the tumblr links ask me to log in so I can’t tell if they would reveal this as sarcasm or they have an actually convincing argument.
It’s been used as a slur against intersex people since medieval times, before someone decided to use it to talk about slugs and shit. You would know this if you actually listened to intersex people.
I assume you mean the “h” word I used. If that is a slur than I apologize, I did not know. It is a common industry term for genderless electrical connectors.
I appreciate your civil response. So, this word has been used as a slur against intersex people (people born with or who in puberty developed genitalia or sex charasteristics differing from the concepts of ‘male’ and ‘female’) since the middle ages and has had a long history of violence, such as forced genital mutilation and infanticide, behind it.
It often is conflated to mean someone or something possessing both a penis and a vagina, who is typically capable of both impregnanting and becoming pregnant. (it should be noted that this does not occur in humans without body modification!) Because of this, the h-word was later (19th or 20th century iirc) used by scientists to describe cosexual animals and plants because someone was too lazy to come up with a new term that didn’t have truckloads of baggage attached to it. Thus leading to what we’re talking about.
Fun fact, the plugs used in Europe are intersex.
US has those too, theyre 480v usually
fucking yikes.
that things safety feature is “anyone with intrusive thoughts has long since been eliminated from consideration”
Without having looked it up yet, I would assume that the exposed contacts are neutral/ground
The outer contact is ground, the inner pin is for locating (unconnected) and the other three are X, Y, Z. It’s a Nema SS22-50R.

Hi, that’s a slur!

It’s a slur no matter what you’re talking about: https://www.tumblr.com/status-quo-hater/793665456460447744

It’s not a slur when used in proper context, and also are you really trying provide a random tumblr post as source?
