194. I can't seem to find a word "transgendered" defined as a noun in any dictionary,

Sat Apr 12, 2014, 02:24 PM

Apr 2014

but if you wish to create the word as a noun for yourself, there's no law against it yet.

"Transgendered" is an erroneous variant of the word transgender, mistakenly used by straighted people, and even sometimes gayed people, who don't know any better. However, the usage of the word trangendered may alienate, and often insult, the majority of transgender people, and if it is your wish to continue do so, that is your right. Transgender is a condition at birth, just as are the condition of being lesbian, gay, transsexual, or straight.

If you try to use this word as a noun, you may create unrest among the multitudes of transgendered people out there, possibly even the transsexualed. The gayed and lesbianed folks probably won't appreciate it either. Do you know actually know anyone who is a transgendered?

People do not become lesbianed, gayed, straighted, or transgendered at some point in their life, do they?

We are born this way. Lesbian. Gay. Transgender. Straight.

So, how old were you when you decided you decided to be straighted, or should I say heterosexualed, if you prefer?

GLAAD's Transgender Media and Education Program
http://www.glaad.org/transgender

"The word transgender never needs the extraneous "ed" at the end of the word. In fact, such a construction is grammatically incorrect. Only verbs can be transformed into participles by adding "-ed" to the end of the word, and transgender is an adjective, not a verb".

Is this blog post intolerant of the transgendered? [View all] TransitJohn Apr 2014 OP

Never heard of it, nor... 99Forever Apr 2014 #1

I don't think it is a hate blog, it's a feminist blog TransitJohn Apr 2014 #2

Okay. 99Forever Apr 2014 #5

That's what I was thinking, but I also think it's intolerant and bigoted. eom TransitJohn Apr 2014 #7

Of course. She's no better than people of color agitating against gay marriage. nomorenomore08 Apr 2014 #49

TERFS can fuck right the fuck off. But I question your motives for linking to an obscure blog LeftyMom Apr 2014 #50

Again with the accusations as to my motive. TransitJohn Apr 2014 #55

"I question your motives" is not an accusation. It's a question. LeftyMom Apr 2014 #56

Nope, just tired of passive-aggressive accusations. TransitJohn Apr 2014 #58

Personally I'm tired of MRAs in on a progressive website. LeftyMom Apr 2014 #59

There are a lot META shitshows on DU maddezmom Apr 2014 #328

Perhaps it's only a "meta shitshow" for certain members. RiffRandell Apr 2014 #334

Do you think there are people here who DON'T think it's a "meta shitshow?" cyberswede Apr 2014 #335

I think several people miss meta. RiffRandell Apr 2014 #336

Well, she certainly can't respond to the hundreds of posts made after a hidden, or yours could she? boston bean Apr 2014 #380

I remember when meta got shut down, admin instructed GD hosts to "be ruthless" with meta threads Warren DeMontague Apr 2014 #338

Unfortunately, hosts can only weigh OPs, not replies. cyberswede Apr 2014 #340

So why suggest the OP be deleted? RiffRandell Apr 2014 #341

I think it's turned into such an ugly display... cyberswede Apr 2014 #346

I agree it sure has turned into an ugly display! RiffRandell Apr 2014 #348

It'd be nice if the standards could be applied equally & consistently, even just to OPs. For starts. Warren DeMontague Apr 2014 #342
