If you don't like what's being said, then your problem is with the actions of your community, not the person calling out the bad behavior. We weren't doing anything, the trans community was the one that came in FIRST, made the FIRST actions to take the words for their own use, change the meanings, and then demonize anyone that doesn't agree with the changes that no one outside of the transgender community wanted in the first place.

If you don't want to be called out for appropriating and colonizing the words an oppressed group of people use to name themselves, then give the words back. Make your own. And if you don't want to give them up, stop acting like people using the words' original definitions are bigots. Again male and female humans will exist no matter how bad your community wishes we didn't, no matter how bad your community wants to hide or erase it. So suck it up and either give us our words back, or let us make new ones.
