I kind of like a pride of transgendered people, like lions. Ideas? Hugs, Devlyn

As an absurdist, I would say that a "gaggle" (as in geese) sounds right to me. I think geese are funny and cute and goofy, all things you could use to describe us. Or, since I find that transgendered people are actually really hard to stereotype, a "clowder" (group of cats) would work, since cats are independent and generally don't care what people think.

And if all that sounds very serious, I wrote all of that singing "soft kitty" from The Big Bang Theory, lol.
Despite what my profile pictures show, I am a very smiley and upbeat person. I'm merely the least photogenic person alive, that's all :P

Clowder and swarm are both sweet. Pride would be awesome except might be better generalized to all alphabet people.

I reckon a "parliament" as we are the only ones who know what we need.

Like a parliament of owls, who are wise and hunt at night and those oh so big eyes.

Sorry, second thought, what about a train of transgendered people?

Nah I like my first one.

I like  "throng", it has a nice sound to it, like a character out of a Discworld novel.

I'm quite fond of parliament myself, now that it's been mentioned.

What do I call a swarm of transgendered people?

1. Hell on Earth
2. An argument or fight about to be unleashed
3. A brood
4. A Pageant to see who is better good looking or a contest to see who is genuine vs who is "fake"
5. A cackle of finger pointers at each other.

I have more, but Ill stop there ;)

First, I thought a "taggle", then a "traggle", then "transgle"

It would be like having a crash of rhinos, but without the rhinos.

Since those terms are supposed to be somewhat descriptive I'd go with 'quarrel'.  As in:  There was a quarrel of TGs down at the clinic today.

The painful thing about cynicism is that it's so often accurate  :-\

A deck?   as in cards.

To those who understand, I extend my hand
To the doubtful I demand, take me as I am
Not under your command, I know where I stand
I won't change to fix your plan, Take me as I am (Dreamtheatre - As I Am)
I started out with nothing..... and I still have most of it left.

Silly me  :laugh:  I usually just call them a group like any other group of people

Although there are those I get tempted to call a herd sometimes  >:-)
The main things to remember in life are Love, Kindness, Understanding and Respect - Always make forward progress

When I see ftm's gather, the worst problems seem to be awkwardness, people being short-spoken/having little to say, and maybe a little bit of posturing.

So, a grunt of transpeople? A shuffle?

My initial task (Cindy put me up to it) was to find a word for a group of transgender people. She suggested "Mob" by the way.  I have to admit, I like "Quarrel" quite a bit! Hugs, Devlyn

"Mob" is already used, I think by kangaroos.


And you can't go wrong with 'quarrel' because TGs are like Jews and stagehands - ask two of them a question, get a half dozen replies.
