Bonus hole

I just learned that to avoid offending trans people some people want to start calling the vagina a "bonus hole". Is this really true?? Georgia guy (talk) 14:51, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

Some trans men use the term for their own genitals. See relevant content at Transgender sexuality. I am not aware of any effort, by trans men or otherwise, to replace the general term vagina. -- Tamzin (she|they|xe) 07:25, 11 September 2023 (UTC)

 Partly done: Sex organs added as a category – macaddct1984 11:33, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

Category needed

The category "Sex organs" needs to be added here. 2601:2C5:8484:1C50:AD4C:7AC0:96D5:A18D (talk) 15:24, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

Wording of caption

The caption for the first image currently reads

Human vagina; normal canal (left) and canal during menopause (right)

That contrast implies that a menopausal canal is abnormal. Can we substitute a more factual descriptor like pre-menopausal, or otherwise reword? Azn bookworm10 (talk) 23:45, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

I took a shot at updating it. Jtrevor99 (talk) 02:08, 18 September 2024 (UTC)

That looks reasonable to me. Is it obvious from context that it's meant to represent a postpubescent adult? "Adult human vagina" would be getting wordy. Azn bookworm10 (talk) 03:20, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
