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

To clarify, I'm talking about the fusing of the terms "trans" and "man" or "woman" into a single word, as we sometimes see in "transwoman/transman," AS OPPOSED TO "trans man/trans woman," which is fine.

Replying to @TwoBodyProblem
Nahhhhh. I mean, we don't do that with stuff like race, which also doesn't fundamentally modify one's womanhood or manhood. I don't see a reason to do it here either.
