basic spelling when it comes to trans terms, since these things tend to get misspelled fairly often:
- transgender, not ‘transgendered’. you wouldn’t say someone is gayed; it’s the same thing here
- trans, not trans*
- remember to put the space. trans woman, trans man, trans non-binary person
- not necessarily related to spelling, but don’t use ‘enby’ as a blanket term for all non-binary people. some of us don’t like it or are uncomfortable with it, and prefer ‘nb’ or ‘non-binary’. stick with non-binary until you know what a person is okay with
- add on if you see this list and have something else to say
