If I may suggest, Instead of saying trans identified men just say men pretending to be women, MPw, and instead of trans identified people - people pretending the be the opposite sex

This article explains why

https://uncommongroundmedia.com/the-gender-cult-is-winning-the-war-of-language/

“Trans women are not women” is a losing battle. Noun trumps adjective. Confused liberals hear: There is a subset of women who I am claiming are not women. Instead, say: Men who pretend to be women are still men. Men are men, no matter how they feel. Men are not women.

It’s not enough to be right. We have to be precise. Our enemy is an extremely efficient cult whose well-conditioned hivemind instantly adopts any new word their worst members create, any definition they decide to twist. Surely we, who are more clear-headed, can do better. Step one is to standardize and clarify our language. We must reclaim the ability to understand each other and to be understood by outsiders, no matter how mean it makes us sound. We will never be able to adequately address harmful (inherently language-based) legislation until we have done so.

Take back your sword. Sharpen it. Call things what they actually are.”

I agree, language is incredibly important. I have been saying this for years, even radfems and gender criticals cannot always get it through their head that we must NOT use the slur transwomen. Since nobody can transition from their own sex it is meaningless as well as a slur on the word woman, just as bad as the "cis" slur. I have never used it. I realised it in my marrow, long before this horror shit show really got started, that it is vital that we retain language. Not only does language describe reality, it can alter it.

If you have never read Pronouns are Rohypnol, it is well worth a read. https://fairplayforwomen.com/pronouns/https://fairplayforwomen.com/pronouns/

You know, I never thought I'd say I would go to prison, if I had to, to defend a word. But if the woke stasi come for me and insist I call a man a woman, with or without the word trans, I have thought about this and I absolutely cannot do it. I cannot call a man a woman and yes, I would go to prison to defend that right.

Men are not women, not of any sort. Not with or without a prefix or a space before the prefix.

Although they clearly are people pretending to be the opposite sex, unfortunately the Synthetic Leftist Wokemongering Party have made such inroads that I fear that saying the truth, men pretending to be women or vice versa will be taken as an insult by nearly everyone.

Therefore, although it is long winded I usually say "people/men/women who identify as trans" and sometimes I say "people who think they are trans". It removes the word women from the equation and makes it clear which sex they are, and makes it clear that "trans" is just something people claim.

I wonder if we could just go back to tranvestite, or cross dressers. There is nothing even remotely offensive about the term transvestite, and it does mean what it is supposed to mean, men (usually) who are dressing up in what they consider female clothes.

I frequently use the term cross dresser due to it's accuracy, but it's becoming increasingly less "acceptable" to the Woke Stasi, who will of course make a scene about how "They're a TW! How ignorant of you!" etc.

That said, is taking an exogenous hormone in order to appear more feminine REALLY that different to purchasing any other fashion accessory?

I think from now on it will be transvestite. That's what they are, after all, a perfectly good descriptor.

Was just looking through these wonderful posters, which are part of Cambridge University's collection, when I got the Glinner in about the stupidity at Clare College. The Selina Todd nonsense, and Kathleen Stock... that was Cambridge too wasn't it? Irony overload. https://www.cam.ac.uk/suffrage

Or "mother" FFS. How is that word "transphobic"? How on earth can "birthing parent" be considered a better term to use than "mother"?
