      Let's use this to think through the right way to respond when someone accuses you of doing something transphobic (or racist, sexist, etc.)https://twitter.com/ContraPoints/status/823314850759712768 …

      The unianimous cis opinion is that it's totally fine. Some trans people said it's totally fine.

      Other trans people said it's potentially problematic, but okay in my case because they know who I am and what I'm like.

      Still other trans people said it's definitely transphobic, & a couple said that my use of it is furthermore evidence that *I'm* transphobic.

      So what I have is 95% of people saying I'm totally fine, don't worry about it. And it's tempting to believe them. However...

      (It's also tempting to get defensive when I'm called transphobic—"That's outrageous! All my best friends are trans! etc etc")

      However, it's better to avoid these temptations. Cis people don't usually have very good intuitions about what's transphobic.

      And the fact that I have trans friends & care deeply about trans issues doesn't mean that I'm invulnerable to being inadvertently offensive.

      I do think that calling *me* transphobic because of this is unfair.

      I didn't take it that llamamall_ was calling you a transphobe, but that writing "mangirl" is a transphobic act
