Transgender is an adjective. Calling someone "a transgender" is either grammatically incorrect, or offensive depending on how much you know. It is not a "transgendered" person. no need for that -ed suffix. "transgenders" is equally as stupid of a word to use.
Transgender is an umbrella term that can be used to describe so very many variations. A cross-dresser, drag king, drag queen, MtF/FtM transsexual, bi-gender, gender fluid, agender, androgyne, and a fuck-ton of other categories that pop up as people feel more liberated to define themselves or try to reclaim old terms. At the same time the word transgender can be used as a category itself.
Offensive words that you should never say in real-life: transvestite, tranny, shemale, trap, and probably several others.
These are the keywords in porn. It is like saying "exotic" really just means not-white and not-black in porn.
The pics/videos of people on this board are all traps, because we view the pictures of transgender people as porn.
being called a trap (or reverse-trap) originated from people showing pics of women (or men) and getting you all excited, then surprise! penis!
Other fun ways to be horribly insuting: tell someone with GRS/SRS that they "mutilated" their body. telling them they aren't a real (gender) unless they were assigned it at birth... er. I mean. born with those parts.
-from the desk of a transgender woman, who is not a transsexual, and has been berated by her transgender community for getting the vocab wrong.
