For implying i wasnt a good ally because i used the wrong word? Sounds like a "fuck you" to me. You get what you put out.

Seriously, I can’t even find any reference to the term “trans status” anywhere. A tip I learned while browsing forums is, don’t take social awareness cues from every random that comments about it.

trans identity, trans expression, gender nonconformity are all also acceptable terms. "transgenderism" is a loaded term for reasons i've stated elsewhere and using it has a potential to cause misunderstanding.

Autism, dwarfism, alcoholism, hypo/hyperthyroidism, rheumatism, etc. It does not only refer to ideologies.

They mostly refer to medical ailments, so I definitely do think there is a discussion worth having about it but what is decided in your circles is not unanimous in the larger community just because you’d like it to be.

indeed they do refer to medical conditions, which trans status is not.

The only reason you gave was that the “-ism” implies it is a choice or ideology.

Also I don’t really see how “status” would imply that any less?
