I know someone who is transgender people person.

lern2grammer pls

I know someone who is transgender.

there. that's correct

you can also say "I know a trans person", or replace "person" in that context with "man" or "woman"

What about talking about a group who are transgender?

most adjectives in English don't change from singular to plural (I say "most" because I can't think of any that do, though there might be some special case that I'm not thinking of)

just pluralize the noun described by the adjective (e.g. "trans people", "trans men", "trans women")

There was a gathering of transgenders people

why do you insist on being willfully obtuse

ok I have a story:

when I was in 1st year university, a dude on my floor kept pestering me to join his fantasy football league. I basically know nothing about football, and told him as much, but he kept pestering anyway. so I eventually caved and drafted nothing but kickers

http://www.dictionary.com/browse/transgender?r=75&src=ref&ch=dic

noun
Usually Offensive. a person who is transgender.

The term transgender has largely replaced the older term transsexual, which is now considered outdated. Transgender is a less clinical term, referring more to gender identity and gender expression than to sexual orientation or physical sex characteristics. It is also a more general and inclusive term: a transgender person may be gay, transsexual, transvestite, or even genderqueer. Use of transgender as a noun is declining in use and is usually taken as offensive.

as I said, using "transgender" as a noun is like referring to black people as "the blacks"

the latter is racist

the former is transphobic

as I already said, it reduces people to one aspect of their identity, which is dehumanizing

ok I know there are bigger problems with trans acceptance, but can people not use "transgenderism"? that implies transgender people are subscribing to some sort of ideology

and maybe, while you're at it, don't use "transgender" as a noun - it's like referring to black people as "the blacks". dehumanizing to reduce people to one aspect of their identity

It is official. Using transgender while referring to transgender people is transphobic

read the last sentence of the post again

What word do you suggest when talking about transgenders?

try "transgender people"

I know someone who is transgender people

reread the post. "transgender" is an adjective, not a noun

I think having the ability to have a dialogue with the mod without "disputing" would be welcome.

Granted I don't get modded much anymore, but back when I did I remember it seemed silly that I only had like 2-3 potential responses before the ability to dispute was removed

yeah it kinda sucks how quickly the dispute goes from mod -> lead mod -> admin

and also that you can't dispute moderations when you have one that's upheld

I accept that you exist, but if you want me to believe in science, you must also accept that anecdotal evidence is never going to be more compelling than large N carefully validated studies. You can believe what you want about yourself, but your existence alone does not overcome evidence simply because you will it.

what studies are you referring to, and what specifically about her lived experience do they contradict?

The teacher should've been able to explain it better so it doesn't scare kids.

I would've told them it's like being a Pokemon evolving in to it's next form.

That girl would've been excited to tell her parents, "I can't wait to be a boy!"

tangent: I'm pretty sure 1/3 of female azurill become male upon evolving to Marill

I often wish I had.

asian women get fetishized a lot - you don't have to look hard on this board to see that

the singular "they" has literally been in use for centuries. Chaucer used it - it's literally older than modern English.

It was used in the King James Bible and in Shakespeare's first folio, the two foundational texts of Modern English.

It was also used by Jonathan Swift, Daniel Defoe, Oliver Goldsmith, Percy Shelley, Lord Byron, George Eliot, Charles Dickens, Jane Austen, Robert Louis Stevenson, Lewis Carroll, and Oscar Wilde, among countless others.

anyone who says the singular "they" is unacceptable is flat out wrong
