You honestly just lectured a trans person about what trans people should find offensive?

Ok.

(also that's not the origin of the asterisk usage AT ALL buuut you don't seem the type to care so whatever -shrug-)

PSSSSSTTT

I'm trans. And I have opinions. That doesn't mean I'm telling any other trans person what they should or should not believe.

I just linked an post that holds my views to have a discussion about what other people thing. I'm not telling anyone else what they should or should not find offensive.

I am however looking for something more substantial from this discussion beyond "I don't find this offensive" and "You're wrong" because um, that's not a discussion.

And I'm not owed a discussion from you or anything, but if you're not here to actually engage with the topic at hand, why are you here?

Also, since I was around when the asterisk was created and popularized and you didn't provide any sources or anything to back up your idea that my take, any of my takes, on the linguistics being discussed are wrong I am just going to have to assume that you don't really know what your talking about and don't actually care to learn any more than what it is you already know. (And for some reason aren't willing to share.) Because what else am I supposed to do? You clearly don't want to engage, at least not in good faith, and it's starting to be a problem.
