Since we're on the topic, I'd like to confirm something. When someone adopts a new gender identity, do you use that identity when referring to events in the past when they had not yet done so?

The most notable case I can think of is that they still refer to Bruce Jenner's Olympic achievements.

Idg the phagocytosis one, how do you pronounce that word for it to make a class giggle?! Maybe it's because I'm a) not a native English speaker and b) a biologist, but I don't see what's so funny about it

I clearly did NOT grok in fullness. The trans woman I used to date was confusing. She used a gender-shifted spelling of her previous name (which sounded exactly the same).

It's not that uncommon tbh, or at least wasn't with the people I knew. Using a feminised/masculine version of their name, or a name with the same initial, was a running thing. Pretty amazing at many people going through that knew one another, but given the relative scope in England (when I was familiar with the support network it was Charington Cross or nothing, effectively) I suppose that isn't too surprising. Though the trans hive mind was slain sometime during the gender proxy war of 87, so there's a lot of individuality.

I’m far from an expert, but as I understand it you should think of their current status as who they always were on the inside and so only refer to them as such. You wouldn’t say “the Wachowski brothers made The Matrix in 1999,” because they were always women. At the time most people identified them as men, but with hindsight we know that was a mistake and shouldn’t perpetuate it now that we know better.

In that particular case, you can always just refer to them as the Wachowskis, which is what they go by professionally now. Nice neutral phrase.

You could add a side note, where and when appropriate, that X happened while they were still using their former public identity. Not appropriate in all cases, of course; it's more of a comprehensive biography situation.

Well, that’s her choice for herself, but only for herself. Jenner is very much in the “gently caress you, got mine” school of conservatism, and is often willing to throw other minority persons under the bus.

Just like with race, there's not a whole lot of agreement on LGBT issues and proper terms even among the people it's actually relevant to. One might tell you a term is offensive, another might tell you it's not, another might be actively using slurs to refer to themselves to "reclaim" the word. You can't really make an objective choice about who to believe because chances are you're not going to be able to get an accurate poll going with a big sample size to actually determine if one is "right", and one trans person doesn't have magical authority over all over trans people any more than one black person has authority over every other black person as to whether "African-American" or "people of color" is the only appropriate term. Basically, there's no real objective fact about any of it and the best you can do with the extreme nuances is to just try not to piss off whoever's immediately relevant at the time. That being said, Caitlyn Jenner should not be treated as any kind of authority on trans issues purely because she's still a lovely right-wing conservative who supported Ted Cruz and Trump despite being part of a group both of them despise.

"DOES EVERYONE GO TO PRESCHOOL" my literal toddler eloquently screamed at the top of his lungs, making sure the entire movie theater could hear him over the movie. "No you guys, seriously, wait, this is going to be hilarious" my friend says 20 minutes after making his phone call, the Pizza Hut manager silently holding the door open, not understanding why we still haven't left. "Just give it ten more minutes guys, you'll see, I'm gonna blow their minds."

This reads two ways. 1) Whoever wrote it doesn't know anything about cars and just made up gibberish. Your fuel line is supposed to be flooded, it's a fuel line. The engine can flood, ie, fill with so much fuel that it can't ignite, but it was only really an issue on older cars with a carburetor, of which there are not very many on the road anymore, to the point where if someone nowadays is driving a car with a carburetor, they know enough about cars to get it going again. If it was flooded, you wouldn't be able to rev it at all, because the problem would be that it wouldn't start anyway. Catching fire is not in anyway the result of a flooded engine. or 2) It actually did happen, and a lady who doesn't know anything about cars tried to sound smart and received a sexist reply from a man (sadly still common these days). In reality, an engine that was revving but not accelerating could have a transmission leak, and the oil could be leaking onto a hot exhaust pipe, which will, actually, start a fire.

Or maybe it was a carbed motor and the mom knew the guy was flooding the carb and the child misunderstood all the terms involved -- bowl for fuel line; cranking while still pumping the gas but not catching for revving; not moving instead of but accelerating. E: but yeah, unless there were a spark in the engine bay, nothing catches on fire.
