... I have just discovered them... wonderfully outspoken and clear about needing to protect the rights of women and children in Canada.... and this is how they describe themselves
But this does so expose the challenge of finding a suitable name for transpeople that all can agree on. Let alone which personal pronouns!
At the moment confusion reins - with people new to the debate (like I was just a few months ago) not clear about which sex/gender transmen and transwomen represent as names - what is appropriate to say (or not say) e.g. TIM, MtF, etc.
It is likely that a name will emerge that all can agree on - a compromise I hope without women giving up the name women, for example.
Does anyone have any idea what it might be?
Personally I am in favour of the clarity of Jenn's approach - calling themselves a transgender male, recognising that what they are doing is expanding the bandwidth of what being male is - and believe that if this was consistently used, in time he would no longer need to use the brackets with fuller explanation.
