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)

Please add the category “Category:Sex organs”

−Marsupial reproductive system+marsupials
  • Why it should be changed:Since the vagina is a sex organ and to correct a link
  • References supporting the possible change (format using the "cite" button):

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)
I'd agree that "adult human vagina" probably wouldn't work - not just wordy, but would apply to both. "Fertile" and/or "infertile" could work but could also be confusing, since women are only fertile for a few days each month. I don't think "postpubescent" is ideal since "postmenopausal" is also "postpubescent". How about "adult human vagina before (left) and after (right) menopause"? Jtrevor99 (talk) 03:58, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
Right, and not all women of reproductive age are even necessarily fertile, or whatever the medical terms would be. Anyway, I think that one is great. Accurate and succinct. Azn bookworm10 (talk) 04:47, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
Done. Jtrevor99 (talk) 05:19, 18 September 2024 (UTC)

Edit request

Could someone please change this sentence "Female mammals usually have two external openings in the vulva; these are the urethral opening for the urinary tract and the vaginal opening for the genital tract. This is different from male mammals, who usually have a single urethral opening for both urination and reproduction." to "Female placental mammals usually have two openings on the vulva or in the urogenital sinus for the urethral (urinary tract) and vaginal (genital tract) openings. This is different from males, who usually have a single urethral opening for both urination and reproduction." on the Vagina article? Since new information about the Urogenital sinus in female placentals have been added? 181.215.172.251 (talk) 17:43, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
