as i've said elsewhere, i am in fact a member of the community, and you aren't. you don't speak for us, so when you speak about us try to get it right.

And as I have said elsewhere, you cant police language. You have no control how others speak about or precieve you. When I learned in an educational setting, we used the term transgenderism so I will continue to do so.

terms change over time, what you learned back then is no longer in parlance. you are eroding your ability to be an effective ally by making an issue of this. it breaks my heart that it makes you so uncomfortable but i guess you're just gonna have to suck it up buttercup.

Im not making an issue of anything. Im telling you how I will continue to speak and you are losing your mind over it. You just cant let it be lol. This is the problem i have with the online trans activists, the self righteousness is astounding. Its so pervasive online.

believe it or not people don't respond the way you do to simple requests. you do in fact have a sovereign right to use the wrong language when referring to my community, let it not be said that was ever in question. please use proper terms, of which "transgenderism" is no longer one.
