    Drag has met some robotgirls who called themselves gynoids. Drag thinks robotgirls should get to decide what the word for robotgirls is. Most just like being called robotgirls but gynoid is more popular than android in the communities drag has joined.

      They’re welcome to call themselves gynoids, I’m just saying that android is a correct term for anthropomorphic robots in general, due to popular usage.

        Drag thinks members of a minority get to decide what the correct term for their group is. Drag doesn’t think it matters what humans think the name should be.
