Shemale (also spelled she-male; also she-man and he-she) is a term most commonly used in the pornography industry to describe trans women or other people with male genitalia and female secondary sex characteristics (including breasts) acquired via hormones or surgery.[1] Many people in the transgender community consider the term offensive and degrading.[1][2][3] Using the term shemale for a trans woman may imply that she is working in the sex trade.[3]
