xHamster has a problem with trans people.
Yesterday I shared a video that finally got published today. Normally the BF handles the uploads, but I shot a little something while he was going to town and thought it'd be nice to give y'all a different perspective. Upon initial upload, I categorized it as Transgender with sub-categories in Amateur, Bareback, and Anal. All sounds accurate, right? Apparently not to the moderators here at xHamster that examine the videos prior to publishing, as they saw fit to categorize it as Gay with the sub-category of Man. Neither of those are true and I'm given no option to correct it. I am a woman. When I have sex with a man, that is straight sex. This isn't the first time this shit has happened, and I highly doubt it will be the last.
So far I've had an overwhelmingly positive experience with the community on this site, which is quite literally the only reason I stick with it, as site administration continues to be highly problematic and toxic to the trans community. The three divisions for videos on the site are Straight, Gay, and Shemale. Aside from completely neglecting the existence of trans men and non-binary folk, shemale has long been considered a slur amongst the transgender community. It is incredibly insulting, reductive, and othering. Additionally all tags under the category of Transgender use the word shemale, with no alternative options available. There is not a single tag option that includes the word "trans", nor any options that so much as hint at the broader spectrum of the trans community. Frankly, it's disgusting and cruel. I encourage everyone reading this to spread the message and contact site administration to insist on updating their inclusiveness and fair treatment of our community. This shit can't stand any longer.
