It has been brought to my attention that I have been using the wrong terms for a cisgender person that can negatively effect the views of transgenders.
When I post I mean cisgender. Not straight when referring to gender.
I really do not see the damage of the term straight but then again I am not transgender. I do imagine that this can bring hard feelings as some may think I put gay and transgender in the same boat.
This I do not.
To me they are different just as they are to you.
Since I do not recall all of my posts I would not be able to go back and change every word.
Still, if I have offended anyone with this lack of knowledge about wording I am sorry and do hope that you will forgive me.
I will try to use the proper terms in the future.
Once again, sorry for any misconception.
