PowerfulSageIRL posted... yeah using "transgender" as a noun is dehumanising and definitely not ok And it's a clear decision not to refer to them in more natural verbiage that emphasizes their humanity (transman, transwoman, transpeople, etc) the way we do everything else. It's a quietly insidious way of reminding your reader that you think transpeople are fundamentally different from other people. it's pretty similar to referring to black people as "the blacks" <cite>PowerfulSageIRL posted [p:914871983] in Why is it ...
