The same terms that are used by these companies to depict our sexualities are the same slurs many trans women hear when they are being attacked. Violence has disproportionately been used against trans women of color. As a white trans woman who has a place of privilege, I feel like it's extremely important to speak up against these terms.

It's also good to see change coming from within the industry -- that women are getting to (hopefully) control how they are represented

What about those who identify as ->-bleeped-<- or a ->-bleeped-<-? Should they continue to use that words for themselves, or for their movie title, or they should be forced to stop too?

Good point, I know a few people here who use the term to describe how they identify.

Well, seems she has gotten the attention: Hundreds of replies means something.
She also put up a petition, although I cannot seem to open it:
