check out some of these articles.
Here are some basic, accessible sites on terms explaining GLBT terminology and how to respectfully write about trans folk.
Massachusetts Transgender Political Coalition (MTPC)’s Transgender 101
Nation Lesbian & Gay Journalism Association (NLGJA)’s Stylebook Supplement on LGBT Terminology
Joanne Herman on Transgender or Transgendered
Please and thank you.
Did you have a bad reading experience?
How'd you guess, Jodie? The post was actually inspired by a ridiculous comment on Facebook (I know, I know)–but since I'm working on a post about trans non-fiction I thought I'd check and see what's out there for easy reference online. Noootttt a lot (from easy googling, anyway).
Oh Facebook comments – aghhh, sometimes it's like reading the comments on news articles. I'll look forward to your post as I can't think of any nonfiction about being transgender and I can always use recommendations.
Thanks for the links
I love that you commented here as well as on gchat. You make me laugh. Glad they were helpful!
