Well, by that link, both "transvestite" and "hermaphrodite" (NTM "it") were on the list of slurs. I think it was just indicated as a slur for transsexual people, not inherently a slur.

I must say that I haven't seen it used offensively either. Nor, for that matter, have I seen the sun rise && false.

(ie. Using the word futa may not be optimal for communicating object level content with people who speak English.)
