Okay, so I saw a few reblogs of that post I made last night saying, “WELL YOU SEE, TRAP REFERS A GUY (EMPHASIS ON GUY) THAT PASSES REALLY WELL AS A GIRL”. Okay. I get that.

But it doesn’t make it any less offensive.

Here’s the thing. People are dumb. Most people are ignorant towards trans* issues. Usually, it’s a knee-jerk reaction when “that hot girl has a penis” to say OMG IT’S A TRAP. 

Also, regardless of how YOU use the word, it’s still offensive to plenty of other people. I really hate to use this word, but it’s a great example of cisprivilege. Just because you don’t find it offensive doesn’t mean it’s not offensive to the people on the other end. If you want to crossdress or whatever, that’s totally fine, but please, PLEASE stop using the word. It’s not cool.
