    It’s not about it being an insult. It’s about being skeptical of the existence of trans people and using language to affect our very real material conditions, like access to healthcare or using bathrooms we feel safe in.

    Assigned sex at birth is both more accurate, and more inclusive.

      Hey look the firing squad is starting to bend in towards itself.

      We gotta make sure we use the right words before we can even begin to have a productive conversation, if those words change every 6 months that’s just too bad, use the current one or you’re a bigot.

        I didn’t call anyone a bigot. In fact I took that comment as a good faith question and answered in good faith.

        Who’s turning the firing squad around? The trans people trying to educate? Or the ‘allies’ who would prefer not to listen?
