We have already discussed the meaning of transgender(ed) and the difference between transgender(ed) and transsexual.

Today's 101 deals more with word usage than word meaning — but usage can be just as important, if not more so.

One of the best things about the trans community is that it is not a monolith. Our community is incredibly diverse, and because of this — surprise — we don't always agree.
