    Gavin Grimm  🏳️‍⚧️ Retweeted The Washington Post

    "Transgendered" is incorrect and offensive. "Transgender" is an adjective. Use it like you would "tall". Ex: Transgender people.https://twitter.com/washingtonpost/status/1174824334013149185 …

    Gavin Grimm  🏳️‍⚧️ added,

    A HUD senior official released a statement that said: “The Secretary does not use derogatory language to refer to transgendered individuals. Any reporting to the contrary is false."

        I'm sorry, but what exactly is offensive about the word? I'm not saying it's correct (because it's not; there is no "to transgender" verb), but I don't see what is offensive about it other than the bad grammar.

        Multiple trans people have explained what's offensive about it. Please listen to us.

        Hi Gavin! Though I do say “transgender”, I didn’t know that “transgendered” is offensive. Thank you for helping me (and others ofc) learn! People who help others learn how best to be respectful are a blessing. Cheers. 😊

        This tweet is ludicrous and indeed indicative of some deeper issues.

        I agree. Deeper issues like transphobia.
