    Okay I gotta ask since I’ve seen it a bunch recently but when did transgender as a noun become accepted. It’s an adjective. I’ve seen trans people be called a Trans multiple times recently and it never got challenged but it always feels icky to me. I’m a transgender woman or a trans woman for short. If you want to shorten it further you may call me a woman but not a trans

      If the fucker thinks that Metroid and Zelda are “baby games” you already can tell he’s not the smartest of the bunch. On the other side I never did called someone just “trans” but is good to know that it does matter.
