transpeople (and transman and tramswoman) is dehumanizing.

“Trans people” and “cis people.” Otherwise it reads like, “blarglepeople” and “actual people.”

The mashing together of the words was the language of the early anti-trans propaganda. It was successful enough that even allies continue to use it, unfortunately. Mostly because they’ve come up with new and worse ways to deny our existence while specifically addressing us.

I would say that it feels like blowing into the wind, but I know things like this can change, especially if 'teh youth" get it.

    It’s not about removing the label.
    Using trans as an adjective as in “trans woman” is fine, the post complains about using it as part of a noun as in “transwoman” 🌸
