Do you use the word “trans” when talking about nonbinary people?

    Trans as an affix doesn’t just mean across though, it also means beyond. So outside genders you can also be transgender.

    Moot point as self identity is the real authority here, but wordplay is fun

      …No. That’s just you re-defining an already established term and trying to expand upon, beyond that establishment.

      No, wordplay is not fun, it just creates confusion and this is exactly why, it’s harder for some LGBTQ+ members to get acceptance. Because, you there stirring the pot of wordplay, just confuses people into identity chaos. Can you try explaining to someone who doesn’t know or understand, but is curious, about certain members from the community with a straight face?

      Without them idly nodding before probably going “okay, cool” but not in a “I totally understand” way but more like a dismissive way because internally they’re fucking confused and probably are more turned off from understanding LGBTQ+ individuals than before.

      That’s you ruining it for them. So no, wordplay is NOT fun. Fuck off with that!

        literal definition of the affix. Look it up.

        Also the trans community does include intersex and enbys. Also tends to be very accepting of GNCs, genderqueers, and genderfucks.

        And if you got off your outrage high, you’d read the rest of that last sentence. You know, the bit where I literally said **“Self identity is the real authority” **

        I get it. You love your purity politics. I don’t. And on a personal note: Don’t try and tell me what the Community wants. Because I’ve been a member of it a lot longer than you have. And that policing purity politicking bullshit is literally a psyop to try and fracture us.
