“Trans person” is such a weird term. What were they assigned at birth? Platypus?
The alternative I’m aware of is “person first language” such as “a person who is trans” which just feels clunky and annoyingly verbose.
Most groups I’m aware of (trans, autistic, and homeless people) have had the majority of the group reject this language due to a combination of that as well as the trait being an engrained part of who they are rather than just a “person who is/with X.”
they’re a person. what kind of person? a trans person. seems pretty clear-cut to me
How would you describe the category containing all of trans women, trans men, trans-identifying non-binary people etc. instead? Seems fine to me
