Well as an encyclopedic resource, it's off to a bad start. From https://www.pussypedia.net/pussy-definition:

> 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.

Come on, what is this bullshit? Women don't have testicles! Idiocy.

It seems that they have used quite a broad and new definition compared to say the "medical" approach:

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.

That’a intentional on the part of the author who argues that e.g. “vagina” is far too narrow of a term to describe the subject matter.

Off topic comment. I find it odd that there is no link to the website the article is talking about.

The “female anatomy” hyperlink is a deep link to the subject site’s 3D interactive model, but there is no top level link.

But, here: https://www.pussypedia.net/

The Pussypedia book is really good too and it came out recently. I was surprised how novel some of the research is, but that’s also part of the brilliance of the book. This kind of anatomy/biology has long been underfunded and understudied.
A (rather foul, and otherwise deservedly) flagged comment made one point that deserves (or at least, is worth) a response:

> Women don't have testicles!

Even leaving aside transgender women, a cisgender woman with 46, XX ovotesticular DSD has either two ovotestes or a testicle and an ovary. This is one, but not the only, way a cisgender woman might have testicles.
