Survey on Trans Language: 10 Years Later

Jamison Green, Jason Cromwell & Dallas Denny did a survey on trans terminology 10 years ago to try to educate people who were writing about trans issues. It's a whole decade later, & they thought it needed an update, so they've created a survey for those of us in the community to weigh in what terminology doesn't suck and what does. Here's their letter:

[...]

    We are asking community members to rate and give us their opinions of certain terms which have been used in the literature, and some of the terms put forth by the community itself, so we can communicate the community's opinions to the members of WPATH and (we hope) more widely in a subsequent academic publication.

oh yippee oh yay...someone wants to foist more terms on the community.  And I am sure it will also contain a renewed effort to try and shame those who do not embrace the new terms they choose to manufacture...

yes, because taking a survey equates to foisting terminology. If you're going to object to something then at least come up with a vali reason.

some of us look big picture and can make reasoned presumptions about what to expect...let's face it, it was these sorts of things with terms that gave us 'transgender' and a host of other terms that are perceived to be more 'politically correct.'  This ain't my first dance at the rodeo...
