Do you think it's purely hateful or do you think it has some merit in certain contexts?

Personally I think it is a transphobic and dehumanizing term that objectifies and sexualizes trans women based on our anatomy, that should never be used in any context, but I'd love to hear what other people think.

I really don't like it. That's a term that I've only ever seen associated with porn and sexualization, and I'd prefer not to be sexualized or objectified. I agree with you that I find it dehumanizing, and I really don't like being fetishized. I feel like anyone that would use that term for me is either a chaser or a transphobe, and I don't want to interact with either. And that's without getting into the whole Japanese culture talk, which revolves around traditionalism, heteronormalcy, and misogyny that makes it extra uncomfortable.
