Of the ever-changing terminology and concepts about trans if I can use the word just by itself. Today I was reading a short review of a novel about lives and loves of trans persons in New York in the TLS which used so much terminology I never would have understood had I not been reading mumsnet and this board specifically. I have always been a feminist since my teenage years but had not kept up to date with developments. I had always regarded 'sex change' as it used to be termed as a conservative notion but like many others thought it was very much a minority concern. I came here about 2 years ago to try to understand why the GRC was controversial and stayed for the knowledgeable posts and wide-ranging discussion. An example of the terms used I would not have known is cis privilege and probably there are quite a few other TLS readers none the wiser as no definitions were offered in a short (just over 1 column) review. So thanks for the informative posts.
