Quote from: FlanI'm seeing a WP trend and in some threads (here) to identify as transwoman/man (all one word) or trans woman/man (2 words, one to recognize the treatment, another for identity)my idea would be to convert the wiki terminology to the latter to for lack of better words, humanize the people who are undergoing transition instead of identifying the people by the condition. (ts'ism)
Quote from: Nygeel on February 18, 2011, 10:28:00 PMBio-male and bio-female is another one that bothers me. I don't understand what substance biology holds in that situation. I prefer assigned female at birth or assigned male at birth (AFAB, AMAB). It recognizes that when we're born doctors say what our genitals most closely resemble and call us based on what they see.
Quote from: PixieBoy on February 19, 2011, 03:55:21 AMA cis woman is a woman who doesn't feel her body doesn't match her mind (sorry for stupid explanation, am tired atm). Trans mean "over, across, on the other side of, beyond" in Latin, Cis means "on the same side of". Cis is the opposite of trans, and IMO a better word than "bio woman", since all human beings are biological (unless someone on here is a cylon?).
Quote from: Elijah on February 18, 2011, 11:31:25 PMI would prefer 'trans man' to 'assigned female at birth' the latter seems to put too much emphasis on the female part, even calling myself FTM seems weird because I cant see the F, I know its here, but I dont like to admit it to myself
Quote from: Nygeel on February 19, 2011, 08:34:03 AM@spacial ehrm...what determines if a person is a "normie?"
Quote from: Nygeel on February 19, 2011, 08:34:03 AM@Hannah_Irene You call them by their name, or whatever they identify as. Genderqueer, androgyne, two spirit, agender, bigender...and I can't think of any more words. Also call this person by whatever pronouns they prefer sie/hir, they/their, Ze/zir whatever they want
