*We propose a new gender-and-organ-inclusive use of the word which means “some combination of vagina, vulva, clitoris, uterus, bladder, urethra, rectum, anus, and who knows maybe some testes.”
We're taking "pussy" back cuz we like it! The word "vagina" comes from the latin word for “sword holder.” We are not down with the idea that vaginas exist as objects of service to penises. Also, "vagina" only refers to the canal. When we refer to the canal, we still call it “vagina.” If we call the whole thing a "vagina," we ignore a bunch of other important parts, including everything you see on the outside and the clitoris which is made of the same tissues as a penis, about the same size as one, and responsible for our orgasms. (We wish we didn't have to refer back to penises to make this point about how important the clitoris is!) If we call it a "vulva" we ignore the vagina and everything else inside. So, we're using "pussy" to mean the whole thing.
We, Pussypedia's founders, are cisgender women. The origins of the site are in our own curiosities about our genitals and a serious lack of accessible, accurate information about them. The site’s focus on genitalia aims to address this specific information gap, not to suggest that this part of the body defines sex or gender. To be clear, our pussies do not make us women. Many people with pussies are not women, and many women do not have pussies. As bad as the information out there is for cis women, it is way worse for trans, non-binary, and intersex people. What we have created to date is just a beginning and in no way encompasses the range of perspectives and experiences out there. Nor does the 3D model, in its current form, reflect the diversity of genital anatomies that exist. We hope to one day have one that does! People can have lots of different combinations of parts. And we consider a lot of those combinations "pussies."
