A generational oddness: gender identity nomenclature has changed in a way that creates communicative barriers. My older (70s) trans friends refer to themselves as "transsexuals", "transvestites" and "transgenders" and my younger friends (20s) call themselves "trans women", "genderqueer" or "nonbinary". I feel awkward about it, so I'm thinking of following my four year old daughter's suggestion and identifying as a "boygirl". That way everyone can be offended by my choices.
