Slightly off topic but am really enjoying the substition of 'campaigner' for the c-bomb. Silly and Syd jut din't cut it. Got to the point when I'm startng to (in my mind at least) use campaigner in a perjorative sense in real life. Great to have a laugh when the media refer to blokes like Jono Brown, LEnny Hayes, etc as a great/old campaigner.
 
Okay so I just noticed trans is in the swear filter but changes to trans woman, trans isn't exclusively to transgender women though.

I mean even urban dictionary has this. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=trans woman

You'll have to manually change the link because it's now blocked by the swear filter :/.

I never realised that word was derogatory. Just out of interest is the term transsexual offensive to some?

It's more outdated than offensive as far as I'm aware - some strongly dislike the term but others grew up with it and identify closely with it. To be safe I suggest using transgender unless you specifically knew transsexual is preferred.

What the... Isn't transsexual the correct medical term though? If I call someone a transsexual does that make me a white male cis scum?

I don't like people telling me what I can't say when something isn't even offensive. It's like if you were aboriginal and told everyone that they have to call other aboriginals 'native Australians'.
It's fine. Contributes to world peace and harmony.
