@godblesstoto Neither feeling you are something nor saying you are something alone makes you that thing.
I can accept "transwoman" because the "trans" prefix works as a qualifier. It acknowledges a difference. But if you don't use the qualifier, you come off as a delusional a--hole.
@HazelAppleyard_ I taught college writing for 19 years. Calling people out on their grammar is definitely a bitch move. However, many, many people still think that "nonstandard" grammar is a sign of stupidity. It isn't, but the stigma doesn't seem to be going away any time soon.
