Title: Straight, Cisgender, etc...
Post by: Del on June 03, 2011, 02:42:39 PM
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.
Del

Sarah,
Thank you very much for taking the time to give an answer to the things I did not know and never thought to ask before offending some. I truly appreciate you kindness.
Thank you again kiddo.
