Topic	Why does political success for transgenders matter so much?

ITP calling transgender people transgender is offensive. The better term is "transgender people." Please don't be one of the ones who takes issue over a minor adjustment to your phraseology... Just show an ounce of kindness and use the right term. If it's so minor then why even bother fighting this battle? There's much more significant issues at stake regarding transgender rights that being concerned at all about whether or not someone is calling them transgender people instead of just transgender seems like a huge misstep when you have a much greater issue with getting people to even refer to them as the correct gender in the first place. Pick up the marginal fights after you win the significant ones. --- Who is? I am! <cite>A_Good_Boy posted [p:890118925] in Why does p...
