dear well-meaning allies: no hard feelings for honest mistakes but please don't write "transwomen" or "transmen." this makes "trans" function as a strange othering modifier on the gender. Trans women are women who are trans, not some other kind of being entirely called transwomen

That makes sense. It's like defaulting to calling an autistic person autistic, unless they state that they prefer some other label.

Oh wait, I actually see I misread your original tweet. You're saying that 'trans women' should be two words, not one, so that trans becomes an adjective. not a prefix. Yeah, that's easy enough to remember.
