Renaming the 'For the Curious' forums and terminology

Hey, guys.

So. You may (or may not, I'm not judging) notice that the 'shemale' sections have been renamed. This is to try and remove an outmoded term from these boards that we feel should be left in the past.

What we're asking politely from you guys is to stop using this term as well. It is NOT a new forum rule. However, we would like you guys to phase this term out because it is deemed offensive by the large majority of the trans community. The same goes for 'tranny' and 'ladyboy'.

We understand that there are the odd performers out there who still refer to themselves as such terms - that's a different case and completely up to them.

However, we're just stated what we would prefer to see on the board from now on. Like I say, these are not rule changes, more a call for a terminology tweak.

Thank you!
