There is a inane urgency expressed by Gay and hetero Cisgender people to hang a new moniker on transfolks that's more writer friendly, cuter than the longer and more difficult to use respectful adjective "Transgender" .
Whether we like it or not!
Some of our preferred titles shortened from transgender such as 'Transmen' and 'Transwoman' remain unused, languishing in mainstream media and gay bloggers keyboards.
WE have and will continue to demand respect and loudly reject the misogynistic pejorative '->-bleeped-<-' as a accepted term in media and society despite cisgender gay peoples insistence we should 'own this' reviled defamatory slur.
