It's an interesting distraction from the fact that the doctor didn't choose what parts you have, yeah.Infinity Biscuit wrote:Terminology like "assigned (or designated) ___ at birth" is good in general because it's a lot more accurate: it just means that's what the doctors/your parents declared you were when you were born, it's not what you "really are/were" or anything like that.
Never could understand why that's a problem, though. I mean its not like you must line up with the parts you were born with somehow.
As far as I'm concerned, I'm a man. Not a cisman. A man. No need to reinvent the wheel here and start tacking prefixes on everything. Transpeople are different in significant ways so they get a prefix, but its still the least you can do to refer to them as men and women out of common decency and respect.
