it’s trans men, not “transmen”; and trans women, not “transwomen”. Trans is an adjective, meaning it’s a word that describes a noun. A trans man is a man who happens to be trans. The (grammatically incorrect) usage of trans as a noun (“a trans”, “transman”, “transwoman”, “transperson”, etc.) is a dogwhistle meant to imply that trans men aren’t men and trans women aren’t women but some separate category
oh ok wasnt aware of that. I’ll edit the comment. I hope its obvious by my comments content im not trying to use a dog whistle. I was just copying the syntax of transgender and replacing gender with the persons gender. Sorry for my lack of knowledge on that stuff. I tend to not really do much research on human rights issues since the correct position is pretty obviously just let people have rights.
