Re: Question thread

Just a small niggle: "transgender" (and "cisgender") are adjectives and not verbs, and so should not be "transgendered" (or "cisgendered") in the same way we don't say a person is "gayed" "blacked" or "femaled". People may self-identify in such a way but addressing trans* folk as a whole the "ed" is iffy. (There's some more info on this in an article by Joanne Herman for the Huffington Post here (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/joanne-herman/transgender-or-transgende_b_492922.html), if anyone wants further reading.)
