::::::::Your sentence seems wrong to me. Our article on faggot (epithet) says "Faggot is a generally pejorative term for a homosexual or effeminate man." Our article on nigger says "Nigger is a pejorative term used to refer to dark-skinned people." I don't see how, if shemale is derogatory, it could not be derogatory to shemales as well. If the term is derogatory, then it means more than just a description of what it refers to. A description would be "someone with breasts and penis" or "someone with a penis who looks like a female". If that were what "shemale" meant, it would not be derogatory. Thus, you can't see "shemale is a person that has breasts and a penis", you ought to say "shemale is a derogatory term to refer to a person with breasts and a penis."
