Dubious posted:We want allies to be on the same page as us with language that defines our very identity and is frequently used against us, or to misrepresent us. That's why we bring it up. Thank you for taking it into consideration, as well. Yeah I totally understand, words are important and I am very happy to be polite and inclusive with them. I do want to emphasize though that "gendered" isn't a verb, it doesn't mean "becoming a gender", it is an adjective. Transgendered means "relating to people whose birth sex does not correspond with their personal gender identity". The language doesn't assume that you "chose" it or "transitioned" into it. I think the correct grammatical usage is what you said though, "transgender person," but for things relating to the subject, but not a person, it should be "transgendered civil rights." English is really stupid and pedantic in that way.

Democratic primary results: Virginia Governor Democratic Primary Candidate Percent Votes Ralph Northam (Democratic) 55.9% 303,738 Tom Perriello (Democratic) 44.1% 239,383 2712 of 2692 (101%) Precincts Reporting, 543,121 Total Votes Republican primary results: Virginia Governor Republican Primary Candidate Percent Votes Edward Gillespie (Republican) 43.7% 160,039 Corey Stewart (Republican) 42.5% 155,716 Frank Wagner (Republican) 13.8% 50,359 2712 of 2692 (101%) Precincts Reporting, 366,114 Total Votes Worth looking at IMO. The guy that lost the Democratic Primary had nearly 80,000 more votes cast for him than the guy that barely won the Republican Primary. Even if you give Wagner's votes to one of the other GOP candidates it's still like 30-40K short of the guy the Democrats didn't choose as their candidate. Kale fucked around with this message at 19:22 on Oct 6, 2017 |

Thank you for taking it into consideration, as well. That's much better than I could explain it, thank you  Part of being an ally is listening to the group you're an ally of -- if we say "hey, please don't use that terminology" it's probably prudent to listen. It may not seem like a big deal, but turning transgender into a verb ala transgendered is a misunderstanding of what it means to be transgender, and leads to questions like "how long have you been transgender?"

I love America sometimes. quote:1/ Trump's advisers are floating the idea of replacing Rex Tillerson with CIA Director Mike Pompeo after Morongate. Trump was reportedly furious that Tillerson didn't deny he called the president a "loving moron," leaving many to believe their relationship is broken beyond repair. Tillerson praised Trump and insisted he never considered resigning in a public statement he made later that day. (Axios / NBC News)

Casey Finnigan posted:Uh I grew up in NJ my whole life and have lived in/commuted to NYC for a few years and I have always heard people say "y'all" all the time. Same - and I am originally from New England and it is pretty common up there too. That said, my closest friend is from Dallas, and when she says 'ya'll' it's like a lullaby.  Not so much in a northeastern accent.

Stereotype posted:Yeah I totally understand, words are important and I am very happy to be polite and inclusive with them. Everyone feel free to ignore the following post. OK, correct me if I'm wrong here, but "gendered" means a gender has been assigned, signalling exclusivity (maybe exclusivity is the key point here). When we gender something, we (abstractly) assign a specific gender to it and it becomes gendered. A particular job field can be gendered because it's stereotyped to only be staffed by men or women. When talking about civil rights, maybe it would help to pull out "civil." Gendered rights would be those that are assigned only to one gender, like voting was before women's suffrage. Gender rights would be rights for all genders, like the fight for universal suffrage was hoping to achieve.
