asked:
Could you explain your frustration with the terms "transwoman" and "transgirl"? I'm not disagreeing with you in any way, I'm just curious about your thoughts and ideas behind the words.
answered:
The omission of the space in between ‘trans’ and ‘woman’ dehumanizes me and negates my gender.
‘Transwoman’ is not the same as 'Trans woman’. 'Trans woman’ suggests that I am a type of woman, a woman who is trans, which is accurate. 'Transwoman’ suggests that I am something other than a woman, which is inaccurate.
