Yeah, I was hesitating between using “transgenders” or “transgender people” there.
In the end I chose “transgenders” because it fit better with “homosexuals” a paragraph prior. I didn’t really mean anything more by it.
I’ll be sure to edit the comment though :)
P.S. I also used the word “transgenderism” a few paragraphs prior, which I know is sometimes used as a dog whistle too.
In that case I specifically chose to use that word because of the context of that sentence being an example of hate.
Oh no problem, you definitely have ally vibes so I didn’t think you meant anything by it, just doing a heads up since some folk legit don’t know. I saw “transgenderism” was being used in context of framed as not being proper nomenclature/ used by bigots but “transgenders” appeared to be used without the same context cues.
