Dear all, May I request a sticky, compiled by someone with the know, for all terms and acronyms often used here? Some like FtM or what not, can be fairly easily worked out by context, sure, but I think it'd be helpful to all people if we had like a glossary and had it stickied. For example cismale or something...I don't get that at all. This is just an idea which I thought might be of benefit to a lot of people and help people to educate themselves. Peace
On the topic of trans* terms specifically, there's this thread, which can be accessed from this sticky in the Gender Identity and Expression forum. It's not exhaustive, but it's a good place to start.
I was thinking of this same thing, and I just read thru that thread, Owen, and there's some other terms that could be added, but I notice that the thread is closed. Also, language evolves, and new terms could come up at any time.
Yeah I suggested compiling one myself when I was a mod, but I don't think anyone was keen. Can't remember why, I think it'd be a great idea to have all these terms in one place.
