In a few instances, the AP guide rightly discourages obnoxious or outdated terms like “tranny” and “transgendered.”

"Rightly." Fuck those word police thugs.

It also urges journalists to avoid the terms “trans-exclusionary radical feminist” or the acronym “TERF,” to refer to critics of transgenderism.

Terf is a badge of pride now. They're just trying to subtly kill that while pretending it's for more noble reasons.
