THese commie bastards are always playing with words. They’d say you are bigoted by using the word “transsexual”. Just like I can’t call a person “oriental” but must say “Asian”.
And we aren’t supposed to say “Indian” anymore, even though there are “Indian reservations” and an agency known as the “Bureau of Indian Affairs”.
We are not supposed to say “Negro” any longer.
I’m sure there are other such words which were once allowable, but those who push changes in language, have now deemed once allowable terms to be bigoted.
I always wonder about “people of color”. It is considering insulting and racist to say “colored people”, but “people of color” is deemed to be ok.
I have taken to using “colored people” if anyone uses that stupid switch of English adjectives.
BTW, basically it’s considered “mean” if you don’t use today’s correct word/phrase. I think it started with “disabled”. Someday that will be seen as “mean”, to be replaced just like “handicapped”.
