    the article does have this headline but doesn’t actually back it up (convincingly) at all. it seems to thinks googling ‘“shemale”, “tranny”, “femboy”, and “ladyboy”’’ counts as searching for trans porn. kelsey libert doesn’t seem to have any relevant qualifications either

      Hell ya! I was worried I was a republican their for a second ( /s ) luckily those are not the terms I use to search for trans porn but like I also show trans people and people regardless of gender respect.

      Side note, I get the other terms coming from right wing ignorant assholes but feel femboy is not that bad, am I wrong on this? I have not yet read the article.

        We’ve heard lots of people referring to themselves as femboys. So probably not that bad.

        But a femboy (in the context we’re used to) isn’t a trans woman, it’s a boy with feminine qualities, I think (while still being male).

      What do you think they’re searching for? Scholarly dissertations? Recipes?

      Also, who uses google to search for porn? This research appears to be making a LOT of assumptions about what their data actually represents.

        I have a better argument here than they do that based on the number of comments here progressives only look for the facts they want to hear without reading the actual articles /j
