FutanariFutanari (A compound word meaning 'double form' in Japanese) can mean both the subjects of a special type of pornographic anime or manga, (commonly known in the West as hentai) or the genre itself. Futanari depicts hermaphrodites or females with male sex organs. Other common terms used to describe futanari characters are "dickgirls" or "shemales", although these are often considered vulgar. 'Futanari', and also 'Newhalf', are more polite terms having come into recent use; 'Futanari' tending to refer specifically to actual hermaphrodites and 'Newhalf' tending to refer specifically to characters with female bodies but only male genitals. Actual transsexuals who have not had genital surgery may or may not be pleased to be referred to by these terms. The polite choice is to mirror their own word-choices - with the caveat that, like any minority, what's an insult from an outsider may be an ironic term of bonding from another insider. It can be argued that futanari branched off of yuri or yaoi, as depictions are similar to these two and not to regular hentai. Others say it is a slightly more mundane branch of 'youkai hentai', which sometimes features mythological creatures or figures. External links
