It's a loose term, and always has been. Since it's used by literally every medical community in their literature, it passes for universally acknowledged usage within the medical fields. Their ain't no Journals calling them TIMs with a little giggle.
Again, there are no such interactions going on in this thread.
You have to insert stuff like this in your accusations because without these embelishments (ie, fabrications), if you just describe what's actually happening factually, it might not sound so bad. And you don't want that.
For the same goddamned reason I keep repeating to you.
Dude, you ain't stupid. You know damn right well the terms were reverse engineered to make those acronyms. If it wasn't the intent, they would have chosen terms that added clarity, rather than muddying further.
You really excel at misunderstanding things.
And blacks were significantly responsible for the trans-Atlantic slave trade as well, because those black slaves were kidnapped and sold into slavery by other blacks.
Will they? I'm not convinced. I'm reminded of the Hobby Lobby boycott efforts from a few years back. Most of the proponents of the boycott were never customers to begin with. There's a strong class component to the trans movement support. Wealthy women don't tend to have to spend a lot of time in the Target bathrooms.
While I'm sure I sometimes fail, I do try very hard to use the terms "gender identity" or "gender role" or "gender expression". The term gender by itself as a noun rather than a modifier of a noun is of no relevance to this discussion. Gender by itself is either synonymous with sex (as when speaking about filling out forms or when labeling restrooms etc.) or it's a linguistic concept associated with the notional sex of non-sexed objects (like ships being female, etc.).
For someone who takes such umbrage with terms that might offend people who aren't here, you sure are quick to directly insult other posters.
No it isn't. The term is not neutral, and it's intended to imply to the listener that the person under discussion is just a different type of "woman". In fact, that's one of the most prevalent lines of argument - that a "trans woman" is just like any other "woman", just like "black woman" and "tall woman" and "blonde woman", and trans is just an adjective that describes a particular type of "woman". It INTENTIONALLY tries to appropriate the word "woman" to include males.
If I am annoying you, I will wear that as a badge of honour
Yeah, I do!
Yeah, that's I what said.
This is emphatically and provably WRONG.
No, it isn't.
After all this time, you genuinely still can't wrap your head around the fact that no-one here is claiming 'transwoman' means literary turned into a female, can you?
Great. But you know who DOESN't read it as "not women"? Males who have transgender identities. THEY don't read it as "not women". THEY read it - and completely intend it - as "just another type of woman".
Bending gets irksome, sure. My 6'2" spouse gets tired too. The difference, at least for me, is *where* I'm bending. I assume that when you're bending to do the dishes, you're essentially bending at the waist, correct? And that can get tiring, especially for those of us who are out of shape (not suggesting you are, I have no idea). But when I'm doing dishes, I can't bend at the waist, because my waist is six inches below counter height. I'm forced to bend mid-sternum.
What do you propose should be used as a non-offensive term when the entire topic of conversation is different age groups?
Have you noticed that most of us usually spell out the entire term, rather than using the abbreviation? Do you understand why we do that?
It's also why sports gets so much more traction than prisons or rape shelters. Wealthy females play sports, or have female children who play sports... they don't have exposure to prisons or rape shelters, and probably don't associate with anyone who does.
You said that Price "coined the term" 'transgenderal', which your own source says nothing about.
I'm not trying to find it's originator. Likely, multiple people 'invented' it independently and more or less simultaneously. That does not change the fact that it was in common use in the medical literature many years before entering lay speech courtesy of the www.
And not a goddamned word that supports yours, either. There is not a word about Price "coining" a single word, except to say he HADN'T. But don't let that slow you down!
Yes, we are in agreement. So why in the ever loving ◊◊◊◊ do you keep arguing about that?
The link was simply to help people like you, who would have never heard of him
You claimed the term was originally a science term... these are YOUR WORDS!!
Are you now walking back that claim ?
No, it wasn't. This is more of your entirely made up bull-◊◊◊◊.
See above...
I'd be rather surprised to learn that African slavers justified enslaving and selling their fellow Africans using racial theories of white supremacy, as the Europeans did. Not going to pursue this analogy any further, for obvious reasons.
