Good points. I'm at the point where I don't even want to use the term "trans" because it's become meaningless and using it seems to go along with and endorse the madness and pretense. I'm currently using males/females claiming opposite sex identities - or MCOSI and FCOSI.

To cover everyone claiming the wide range of gender identities from trans, non-binary, "queer," ace, aro vapogender and whatever new flavor is in this week , I'm just using phrases like "persons with differences of gender identity," "persons who don't identify with their sex," "persons who disavow/reject/deny their sex," "persons preferring their sex be ignored/overlooked" and "persons with gender identities."

Another one: HRT Hormone replacement therapy is not a very accurate description for taking cross-sex hormones. Instead we should call it Hormone Substitution or something like that. Regardless of what we call it, it should be more accurate than HRT.

Plus, "therapy" means "treatment intended to relieve or heal a disorder" - and I don't think what most of these people are doing is either therapy or treatment. It's drug abuse and pharmaceutical self-harm.

"Hormone substitution" doesn't cover the fact that many males take T suppressants. I've seen the term TGHT and THT in papers - meaning "transgender hormone treatment" and "transgender hormone treatment." Problem is that those terms reinforce the whole idea of transgender.

I've also seen GAH, meaning "gender affirming hormones" which makes me say gah!
