I don't think the second entry for "mouthfeel" added by Robin van der Vliet describes a different enough sense of the word to be necessary. In both quotes they provided for the second entry, the speaker is discussing the feel of an object in a mouth--a nonfood object, which the first entry doesn't explicitly cover, but the same concept is being invoked here as in that entry.

Would it suffice to broaden the first entry to "The texture of food, drink, or another object..." and perhaps retain one of those quotes from the second entry to demonstrate the broad scope of objects the word can be applied to?

--anon

I agree that the sense isn't different enough to be necessary. I'm also not sure that the way it's used is exclusive to transgender women; the original joke was simply that the mouthfeel is different from that of a cisgender man. And the joke is from last year; for all we know people will stop referencing it next year. פֿינצטערניש (Fintsternish), she/her (talk) 22:01, 1 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
Never heard it in the transgender context. I agree the overarching meaning is the same. Is this ever used of things other than food, drink, and penes? Equinox 22:07, 1 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
It's from a Youtube video by Contrapoints from 2018, specifically the one being cited as evidence of its use; the other citation was also talking about Contrapoints. There's no need to have separate entries for people's turns of phrases. פֿינצטערניש (Fintsternish), she/her (talk) 13:39, 3 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
I agree that it doesn't constitute a separate sense. Ultimateria (talk) 02:30, 4 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
