Gregory's Server@turboquokka @JessTheUnstill ??? Really?
Because to me it seems obvious that it's more of the term regardless how it's separated or not.
Some people dislike it either way because they are focused on passing and it might be dysphoria inducing.
Others are binary post-transition and don't want to acknowledge they are trans under any circumstance as well, that's a small portion but i've come across that in my nearly 2 decades of being out as trans.
I'm not going to jump a trans person or cis person's shit if they are using it either way to ask a question respectfully or describe us in the context of someone being trans.
Personally i can understand how this can be problematic but i fail to see how separating the words or not solves the problem.
There are still going to be trans folks that want to be referred to as nothing other than male or female and reject any wording that labels them as trans at all.
As I said in the original post:
You don't call someone a blondewoman, you say blonde woman. Because blonde is an adjective that describes the noun, woman.
You don't call someone transwoman, you call her a trans woman. Because trans is an adjective that describes the noun, woman.
Calling someone transwoman is indicating that a transwoman is a different noun entirely.
More to the point, while allies and even trans people may use both trans woman and transwoman, depending, notice ALL TERFs say transwoman. They never say trans woman.
