Actually it’s incredible how the PC crowd has seriously been working on the language.

To wit you say drag queen is not transgender.

But first, note that “transgender” is a brand-new term, utilizing the more recent abuse of “gender”. We have 2 sexes, not genders. PC suddenly got all prim and prudish when it comes to words about sexuality. “Sex” became a bad word so they stopped using it.

So “transgender” came to encompass 2 different things: cross-dressers and actually transitioning physical people.

We used to call them “transvestites” and “transsexuals”, respectively. Don’t see those terms anymore. Somehow, “cross-dressing” became more acceptable though it had been used often. And “transgender” became the good word. And also morphed into covering 2 things.

Beware these commie NewSpeak pushers.

Yes, part of the lessons in the Marxist cultural deconstruction business is changing the meaning of words and changing the langauge; it goes with their territory.
