There's no need to get defensive about this. It is simply a reminder of the correct and polite way to refer to trans women. Transphobes have polluted the language to the point that many people don't even know that transwoman is incorrect. So I offer gentle corrections when I notice someone misusing the word, and especially if they're not a native English speaker, I am not intending as being mean or cruel.
But I still want people to refer to us correctly and to not continue to persist harmful language out of ignorance.
@JessTheUnstill ok thanks for clarifying. I have gotten a lot of hate and ridicule for not being correct in a foreign language, and your post read as feeding into that. Thanks again for being clear.
